Summer Camp @ Home: Let's Learn to Sew!

This video tutorial covers two basic sewing stitches: the running stitch and the backstitch. The running stitch is introduced first, highlighting its simplicity and ease of execution. Viewers learn to tie a knot, thread a needle, and create a line of stitches by repeating a simple motion. The backstitch is then explained, emphasizing its use for visible stitching due to its continuous line appearance. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for both stitches, ensuring viewers can replicate the techniques effectively.
