So yesterday I was doing some simple fixes to some clothing I bought at the thrift store. And as I was unpicking dead elastic from a skirt I got to thinking that with tough times like this more people need simple sewing skills. How to mend a hole, (in jeans or a knit) how to remove a zipper and replace it, how to patch a worn out section of fabric, how to hem a pair of pants or skirt, how to remove old elastic and replace it. etc.
And I got to thinking that perhaps some tutorials are in order for basic sewing and mending skills? So if I did make some tuts(I can even make video and text with pictures.) which ones would you want to see first?
1.) How to mend a hole, (in jeans or a knit)
2.) how to remove a zipper and replace it,
3.) how to patch a worn out section of fabric
4.) how to hem a pair of pants or skirt
5.) how to remove old elastic and replace it
6.) Other(comment to tell me what this is.)
Please comment and let me know!
I agree, most people could really benefit from a few simple sewing skills. My most used fix is mending my sons jeans. I suppose it has saved me hundreds of dollars.
