Is it possible to sew clothes by hand?
Hand Sewing Stitches for Garment Sewing There are 3 hand sewing stitches that I find very useful when sewing garments. The running stitch, the blind stitch, and the hem stitch. Well, I guess you could go that route, but a little time for hand sewing often makes the finished garment that much better.
Is hand sewing as strong as machine sewing?
Machine stitches are stronger than hand stitches because the machine uses two strands of thread and secures the stitches with a knot. (See Anatomy of a Machine Stitch section below.) Sewing machines can sew all types of fabric.
Can you make clothing without a sewing machine?
Sewing by hand can actually go quite quickly if you don’t have access to your sewing machine or if it’s broken. Hand sewing can also be useful if you’re working with especially delicate fabrics, attaching an applique or making a small repair.
Can you hand sew everything?

How do you hem without sewing?
Easily Hem Curtains Without Sewing: Measure how much to hem while the curtain is hanging (don’t pull too tightly when measuring). Pull your ironing board over to the window and measure the portion to remove using your ironing board as a craft table. Use starch to crease along the ‘to be hemmed’ portion with your iron (while they’re still hanging).

How do you thread a needle?
Examine the tip that you plan to put through the needle, and make sure that it is sharp and tight. Moisten and squeeze the tip by putting it between your lips. Bring the strands to a sharp point that will fit through the eye of the needle. If the tip of the thread is uneven, trim it down with scissors.
