The most amazing part of your video is the absence of music. I, like many other viewers of RU-vid suffer from misophonia, and i find that your tutorial and information was spot on and unimpeded by the addition of unnecessary background music. Thank you.
You’re welcome! I appreciate that feedback! I’ve been experimenting with the notion of the sound of stitching being the only “background” noise needed.
Not just the absence of superfluous music but you do actually just get on and give the tutorial! I'm afraid that most North Americans witter and repeat irrelevant chatter, I usually find that it takes at least five minutes before the tutorial actually starts! 😂 So thank you for being clear, concise and useful 😁
Sadly the smaller creators are the ones doing yt right, no unessisary music, short intro, clear instructions! Great work and thank you for the amazing tutorial!
Your patch repair instantly made me think of my Aunt Lizzie and the time she patched the crotch of my original Levis. She'd come down to the coast to stay for a week with my faminly and heard my mother telling me to throw my Levis away. I wanted to crop them to cut offs but mum objected to the holes. In swooped Aunt Lizzie who made two immaculate repairs - "He'll never wear them you know!" Well they were 6 years old then and a couple of years later on vacation with my soon to be wife I decided they'd served their time. She objected and so we cut a deep V in the back and sewed them together for her and then she wore them for another four years or so before they were consigned to a trunk. When our second daughter hit her mid teens she discovered them and suddenly they're "hers", fifteen years later still drags them out in the summertime (the woman is built like a besom broom!) So there you go, Aunt Lizzie's repair - still going strong after years.
I’ve never sewn before and find this very handy. My RLeg was amputated and I need to cut and hem many pants to that I can access my prosthetic leg. I researched alteration and it’s SO expensive. I will look at your other videos for advice on jeans and stretch fabric. Thank you!
Love this!!! Hand sewing to me is probably the most stress-relieving activity that I can do. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos, thank you! ❤
Your videos are amazing! At the 21 second mark you mention that you use this technique when you are mending clothes. Would you mind making a video on hand patching / mending clothes?? I would love to see how to mend clothes neatly and by hand! (Not everyone has or needs a sewing machine. But, sooner or later, we all have clothes that need mending!) Thank you for making these videos!
I’m teaching myself how to sew, and I’ve been doing the exact thing you said about taking too much of a bite. This is very helpful! You make it look so easy!!
Thank you so much, I always find your videos very helpful. All your advice makes sense once one starts sewing :) Thank you for your music-less videos, for your soothing voice, for your inspiring motto and for the underlying philosophy.
Thank you SO much. I always had weird wobbly lines on the nice side of the garment and they vanished as soon as I dipped the needle into the fold like you said.
Wow, this was such a nice, clear and informative video! Your attitude is laidback, friendly and thorough at the same time. Thank you for that! I will immediately change what I'm doing on my current project and try to do better by trying out this! 😄❤
We Lefties really appreciate when instructors acknowledge our existence. We are a small minority, about 1/10th of the general population, and struggle in a spatial world created for the Right Hand Dominant majority. Good stuff. Thanks.
Hi, amazing video. I have a question about what color tread to use if my outer fabric is red and linning gold. Should I use red or gold tread. I dont want the stitches to be too visible from neiter side. What is correct historical thing to do please?
Good question! I mean you sew from right to left if you are right handed. Which means you start on the right side of the hem and work to the left. If you are left handed you start on the left side of the hem and sew to the right side.
Yes- felling is the more generally term for folding fabric over and stitching it down. But using that technique to do a hem is hemming. I hope that makes sense.
