19 Jun Hand Sewing Techniques for Home
By Amanda Sabo
Before the COVID-19 closure, I developed a hand sewing kit for school-aged kids. I loved sewing as a child. Even as an adult I find something really pleasing about looking at a hand-stitched seam; it gives so much more character than something sewn by machine. Even though the hand sewing kit can’t be checked out right now, school-aged kids can practice hand sewing techniques at home, which will provide a great boost of confidence for when they can finally sit down with Ignite’s kit!
Explore some common hand sewing techniques for beginners by watching the video below. Learn how to thread a needle, sew a running stitch and whipstitch, and tie a finishing knot.
Once you have your techniques in place, try them out on either of these beginner friendly hand sewing projects: Felt Donuts and Key chains.
