This blew my mind! It seems so easy, but I never thought of sewing this way before. The machine is way too expensive for me and sewing usually takes so long. I can't believe it could be so easy! Thank you!
This was very helpful. I was wondering, is it difficult to hand sew a zipper or elastic waist band on to a skirt. I am trying to make a mermaid costume but I don't have a sewing machine and your video has been the most helpful. Thank you.
This is wonderful! I don't have a sewing machine, so seeing this is great.
I'm making a costume last minute (the night before Halloween) and this totally save me!!!!! Thanks!
