Stitching Practice

This section has practice videos for each stitch used in this class. Before you begin to stitch please watch these close-captioned videos to practice your hand-sewing technique and then move into creating your seam samples. This section shows you how to sew ergonomically and how to use a thimble. And includes a running stitch, hemming, backstitching and a flat-felled seam technique— all stitches you may use for your tunic. It is so important to practice with a good foundation. My goal is to teach you a hand sewing technique that is sustainable so you can hand-sew clothing efficiently. To make the videos full-screen click the icon in the bottom right of the video.
