Tradwife Academy: Lesson 1

Tradwife Academy: Lesson 1

A hardworking man will inevitably arrive home with occupational fashion hazards; ripped jeans, uniform, etc.
It is imperative that a lady know how to stitch a man clothes (ideally while he’s wearing them in case he comes home on his lunch break & needs the job done quickly)

You will Need:
•needle
•thread (ideally a similar colour to his current fabric)
•scissors (for a clean cut, in a bind you *can* use your teeth or rip with force but that is not ladylike)

Procedure:
1. Anchor the thread.
Thread the needle and tie a knot in the end of the thread. Bring the needle out through the fabric from the backside, so the end knot
stays hidden.

2. Make the first stitch.
Move ahead a 1/2 inch or so, and push the needle back down through to the backside of the fabric.

3. Create the next stitch 1/2 inch away.
Continuing in a straight line, move the needle ahead another 1/2 inch and bring it back up through the back to the top of the fabric.

4. Repeat until finished.

Continue steps 1 through 3, keeping the stitches equally spaced until your fabrics are joined along the seam. When finished, the stitch will look like a long line of dashes.
