The biggest tip I’ve learned is not to look at the needle when sewing but to look at the fabric about an inch in front of the needle. It always helps to keeps your lines accurate.

As a 61 year old man and a retired welder, fabricator, machinist, tree trimmer, I appreciate this instruction. I make manly tool bags, gnarly equipment covers, tree climbing harness modifications, clothing and upholstery repairs ect. All these subjects this young lady covers are not just a fluffy girly thing, they apply to even the rough and tumble element of manufacturing items. Today's generation sorely lacks the resourcefullness to be self sufficient and creative. Thanks !

I am a 35 year old guy myself, and I started dying textiles recently, and now that I am looking into sewing, I am wondering why I never learned this before! I am hoping to be using this on webbing and building little saddle bag type units also. The stigma that this stuff is girly, is as off as firestarting or cooking being gender specific. Thanks for your comment and good luck with your creations!

@dmmdmm5435 3 жыл бұрын

@@kreagan4826 when some shallow minded dolt makes a "sewing is feminine " comment, I remind them to look inside of a car upholstery shop, awning shop, sail shop, horse tack shop and knife and gun holster shop. They'll notice many men in those lines of work. All the tailors I've gone to for military uniform repairs have been men.

@aintnonormie1437 2 жыл бұрын

I know you're trying to be respectful, it's just that someone has to say it. Calling the careers/interests of women as "girly" and "fluffy" is diminishing. "Girly" is often used as a derogatory term and I'd argue that's exactly how it was used in the comment above. As you mention yourself -- sewing is used in everyday objects and materials. But the distinction made between goods has been placed there by people who uphold gender roles. So, "girly" stuff is clothing (which is absurd since everyone wears clothes and anyone who wishes to learn how to sew can do so) while manufacturing is seen as "manly" which we know automatically carries more respect. Sewing is just sewing.

I learned how to sew as a kid just because I loved machines of all types and insisted my grandma teach me how to use the sewing machine. I quickly came to see sewing as just another survival skill like fixing or building stuff. I also always found sewing and welding two of the most relaxing forms of joining materials.

And a tip for the curve seam, to keep the finished seam flat, you can use pinking sheers for the seam allowance, or cut directly toward the seam, along the seam allowance (Never cut the seam itself). In the latter scenario, you will then finish and have a seam allowance full of little squares😊That's just an easier way to flatten it all out. I hope this helps, and I loved the video. I learned a lot.❤

All the boys in our high school had to take home-economics, which included sewing and cooking. The shop teacher, Mr. ? (I can't remember his name), came in to show us how to carve a turkey. My mother was far and away more proficient than the home-ec teacher and taught us all the home-ec stuff well beyond the degree taught at school. My brothers and I are very lucky.
