Sewing is one of the most critical disciplines in fashion design. Our sewing video lessons cover everything from learning how to thread a sewing machine to learning how to sew one of the most challenging materials of all, leather. Click on any lesson picture, below, to learn more
We recommend watching the lessons, below, in the order shown. Most sewing machines are threaded in roughly the same way so start with our “Threading the Brother 1500s” (sewing machine) lesson. Move next to our “Intro to Needles, Pins, Thimbles & Pincushions” and “Intro to Threads”. Next, get your stitching skills up to speed by watching “Hand Stitching”, “Catch Stitch”, “Slipstitch Applique” and “Sewing Buttons: Shank & 4-Hole Thread Shank”. Follow those with our seam lessons: “Hong Kong Seam”, “French Seam” and “Overlock & Open Seam”. Next learn hems by watching our “Hand Rolled Hem”, “Hem Tape” and “Overlock Hem” lessons. Then choose any one of our Pattern Layout lessons. Once you get to, and complete, our “Invisible Zipper” lesson in this section, you’ll be ready for our Intermediate and Advanced sewing lessons.
