Sewing Skills: An Introduction
Sewing Skills: An Introduction
Learning to sew is such a useful skill to have, yet we seem to have lost the ability over the last few decades. Times are a changing and learning how to repair clothes, sew on buttons and understand the basic stitches is a good start to building up a skill we should all have.
