For those of you learning: there’s actually(probably) a thread cutter attached to your machine, so you don’t have to worry about using scissors to cut it when you’re done. 😊 it’s seriously a life saver.

This is honestly the best beginner sewing tutorial I've ever seen. You explained everything so clearly and didn't assume we knew anything - I've watched longer videos that cover less material and they weren't nearly as helpful as this one. THANK YOUUU ♥ Going to attempt that tote bag for my first project!

I agree, Jenna did a great job, she made it very easy to follow. 👍
I have not seen your utube before. I am an older woman and I have sewn all of my life. I am so impressed with your beginning sewing program. Good job! I will recommend your utube for young people that want to learn to sew. Thank you. Janet in Idaho

For those looking in the comments to see if this video is beginner friendly: it TOTALLY is! I have never even touched a sewing machine before. Right now it is 2 am and I am trying to sew the bag thanks to this tutorial. :)
Ahhh i have such a love-hate-relationship with my sewing machine!!! Sometimes it just doesn’t work out so my seam ripper is my best friend by now haha

Seriously... THANK YOU FOR THIS! This is the best beginner tutorial I've watched, and I really appreciate you explaining even the smallest things! I'm so excited to start sewing now.
Love your tutorial! Never sewed or used a machine in my life but you have taken me from overwhelmed to “I can do this.” Thank you sincerely ☺️
Fantastic tutorial! I watched it yesterday - my very first day of sewing - and about 3 hours after I had learned how to thread the machine, I had already made a smaller version of the tote bag in the video, using an old bedsheet and following along with many pauses and rewinds. Thank you for this great confidence-boosting video!
I love the way she explains EVERYTHING For beginners, I’ve watched so many videos and could never understand what to do, THANK YOU 🙏
I took sewing classes in high school eons ago and hadn't touched a sewing machine up unti this past year. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. I am so excited that you're doing these videos!

Good for you, I wish I had have started sewing at a young age. 😉
I made it! With my own ferret paws! Thank you for posting this lesson! It is so pleasant to learn from you, someone who enjoys sewing. Other yt tutorial hosts begin by saying, "I don't like to sew". This ferret doesn't want to learn a craft from someone who doesn't enjoy it themselves. It's also nice learn it from a younger person, most all the other ppl making sewing vids are old. I appreciate learning from someone closer to my age, I feel like I can relate to you more than an old person. Thank you for all your hard work!

Yess! This really refreshed my memory about sewing machines! Thank you Jenna!👌🏻
You first inspired me to crochet and now i've got a sewing machine for christmas too!! Cant wait to learn with you, thank u for ur videos
As someone who's barely sewn since 7th grade in junior high (1974!!!), I appreciate your lack of proper terminology and how much less intimidating it makes the process. Don't ya wish they'd simply called the 'good' side the 'outside' to begin with?
I love it! Even though I have sewed already a little bit, I also learned a bit more with this video, thank you sooo much! Also maybe good to show how the needle goes in the machine if it needs to be changed when broken. I love this series 😁

I haven’t sewn Since 1970 and just one class. But I just bought my first sewing machine at 68 years old(gift) Singer 4432. I need simple, simple, simple projects 😂. Thank you for your detailed tutorials.
U should really be proud rn bc this is the best sewing tutorial ive seen❤
Hint: When you thread your needle be sure your thread is between the slot on the presser foot and not over or wrapped around one of the prongs.
This is so useful - I'm looking to get a sewing machine but haven't used one for over a decade so my memory of what I might need is pretty fuzzy. Not just a great intro to sewing machines, but also gives a good idea of what features to look for!
You keep saying sorry but your explanation is perfect because it is truly learning how to sew for dummies/ people who have never sewn before and don’t know the proper Termanology this is perfect! My type of tutorial
Thank you so much for this video!! I got a sewing machine for Christmas yesterday, and am a total beginner, but now I already have a tote bag! This video was so clear and helpful, and you helped me find success right off the bat 🙂
This really helps me thanks jenna🤍 love this new serie
Thank you so much! This made me not only sew my first thing ever but also learn the basics of my machine. You are amazing ❤️
That's a better ironing room than mine don't worry its a great sewing lesson for me you're a great teacher. I'm learning for the first time
Omg thank you much had lots of fun learning how to sew sis. You both are so down to earth and adorable. Take care and be safe. Love you sis. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I got my sewing machine for Christmas and I’m finally learning how to use it. This is the only tutorial I found that actually help me. Thank you so much, Jenna.
This was so helpful, I'm excited for more sewing videos!
I came to this video to watch Jenna say "bag" over and over again!

This is great. I just got back into sewing over the summer (after like 10 yrs or so). I used to sew from patterns, but now I'm interested in thrift flips. I feel like I have a lot of ideas, but I'm lacking in sewing skills. Real rusty. So I'm really excited for your sew with me series.
Thank you so so much for this video! I'v never sewn ever in my life but always wanted to start. I watched your video once, lent a good sewing machine, went to the fabric store yesterday and then I did it. It's been a while since I did sth for the first time without any help, so there were highs and lows... but in the end: my bag is so frking amazing! I had to go shopping at 10 in the evening because I wanted to take this new bag out! I am so proud! :) Thank you so so much. You're video was perfect, I bought everything you said, I needed everything you said and I couldn't be happier.
Thank you jenna!! Love love your zoomed in video and step by step instructions!!
I’ve been sewing for years and this was really helpful!
Im so happy you made this video! I got a sewing machine for Christmas and have or should I say had no idea how to use it
just finished my first sewing project with this video
I just got a sewing machine for the first time so this is very helpful and ill be watching a lot more of your videos!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It helped me so much
Male 62 from Mel AU, first timer, read the manual, and you have put the icing on the cake. Thank you.
Hi Jenna, I just found your channel I am a beginner and I am old and learning from you is super fun and easy. You are a doll Thank you for sharing your talent and enthusiasm. :)
What a beautiful process! Thanks for making this video!!!!
Love this!!! Literally got this machine today and this was super helpful!!!! Thank-you!!!
Thanks Jenna, this video makes me want to give my machine another try!
I'm so excited to have found this video! I just got the exact same machine today 🎉
This is the most useful video I've watched thus far. Thank you
thank you 🌸 i had a lovely first experience with you by my side. i used dacron cotton to make a black and white tote bag and now imm excited for more 🥰
so happy i found your videos. your personality is 🔥 and you explain everything so well. going to make my first tote bag soon
This was amazing, thank you! Please continue making content for us newbies 🥲🫶🏼💛
You really make sewing more fun:3
I love the cute terminology. This is a fun one. Thanks!
Obsessed. I love this so much
Wow what a great tutorial, thank you. Im gona binge your videos now
thank you so much this answered all the questions i had and i finally sewed something :DDD!!!
Instead of zigzagging after having seamed the two pieces together, it is a lot easier to simply zoom all the sides of each piece through the zigzag first. This way there is no need for a backstitch at the beginning or end of the zigzagging. A demonstrated here the zigzag is sewn part way into the seam allowance and still has some free edge availabpe for fraying. To lock in those edges, it is best to align the fabric so that the needle barely hits the cut edge on the right and into the fabric on the left. This way the free edge is completely encased.
You are a great sewing teatcher.thanx for clear instructions
I can’t wait to make my first bag👍🏾Thank you
That was an amazing and easy tutorial to follow thank you! ❤
Random fact: You became my company almost every night this week, because it's the final line at university, so at night I stay awake doing assignments, but that's not what matters now, what I mean is I put your videos, so I don't feel lonely during the dawn. Thanks for being here studying with me S2 (The only problem is when you say "it's so cute", because I can't keep writing without knowing what's so cute lol)
Just made my first project using this tutorial! So easy…thank you
This was super helpful! Thank you!
I’m so pumped to try this 😁😁
This was so helpful!
Hi! Just a friendly tip for the chapters in the video to make it easier to find what we are looking for. Add a chapter that is for threading the machine. Thank you, was very helpful! ❤
thank you so much this really helped me!🥰😊
Hi Jenna. Thank you for this tutorial. I will be making your tote bag its so cute and so are you. Actually you look just like my younger self. You could be my daughter. I'm happy you are on here teaching how to sew. God bless!
I watched your video 1 time and I was able to make the tote. Thank you 😊
I learned a lot from this vid! Thanks!
I made a tote bag toooo!! Thank you Jennna
what an awesome tutorial love it thank you!!!
You are a queen!
Thank you for the well explained video ❤️
Love it enough said
First time her, u are an amazing teacher, love your channel 🩷 hola from Campeche, México.
Thankyou, this was so helpful.
Thank you, Jenna ❤
I have a sewing machine but it is very intimidating!! Just looking at it & the idea of threading it... And I had no idea about needing an iron or extra sewing needles. I guess I better get those. Oh and also had no idea about the zigzag stitch either!! I suppose I better find those things! I do have lots of bobbins though & pins, etc. Now I feel relaxed from this video so I will go to sleep as its late. You are very wise with sewing and relaxing too. 😀🌈🍀🌿🌱
I’m glad I found your channel I just bought the same sewing machine.... but I definitely need a tutorial on how to use it properly...
This machine rocks I got five foots and other pieces included I love the buttonhole foot works amazing for button holes so easy to use since I saw singer channel on how to use this machine
I made the tote using an old pj shirt and it came out good!
Very good video, very informative. Bravo Girl, make some more. Thank you for sharing.
Great video!!
Gonna do this bc I have no experience thank you!!!
You are a life saver
You’re fantastic 💜
The fabric material used in this video seems a difficult one! But good work! And good luck to me! hahaha
Love your energy and your videos ❤️
Great video! Thank you 😊
I am 15 mins into your video.. after seeing a number of beginners sewing videos (and believe me I am a complete beginner) I have to say yours is the most fool proof video to help me get started. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really like how you explained everything and why (e.g. why you reverse the stitch) as these are mistakes I would quite easily make as a new starter. I was wondering if you planned to make a video on various other stitches and when you would use them? It would be super helpful and I personally like how you explain things! Eitherway, thank you, thank you. Cant say it enough. I am subscribed and will continue watching the rest 😊👍
Great job!
Thankyou you have helped me 🙏

@@JennaPhipps 16. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم): "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) Allâh." Say: "Have you then taken (for worship) Auliyâ’ (protectors) other than Him, such as have no power either for benefit or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Is the blind equal to the one who sees? Or darkness equal to light? Or do they assign to Allâh partners who created the like of His creation, so that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to them?" Say: "Allâh is the Creator of all things; and He is the One, the Irresistible." آية: 17 أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَسَالَتۡ أَوۡدِيَةُۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَٱحۡتَمَلَ ٱلسَّيۡلُ زَبَدٗا رَّابِيٗاۖ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلنَّارِ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ حِلۡيَةٍ أَوۡ مَتَٰعٖ زَبَدٞ مِّثۡلُهُۥۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضۡرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡحَقَّ وَٱلۡبَٰطِلَۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلزَّبَدُ فَيَذۡهَبُ جُفَآءٗۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ فَيَمۡكُثُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضۡرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ 17. He sends down water (rain) from the sky, and the valleys flow according to their measure, but the flood bears away the foam that mounts up to the surface - and (also) from that (ore) which they heat in the fire in order to make ornaments or utensils, rises a foam like unto it, thus does Allâh (by parables) show forth truth and falsehood[1]. Then, as for the foam it passes away as scum upon the banks, while that which is for the good of mankind remains in the earth. Thus Allâh sets forth parables (for the truth and falsehood, i.e. Belief and disbelief). (V.13:17) See the footnote (A) of (V.9:119). آية: 18 لِلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لِرَبِّهِمُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يَسۡتَجِيبُواْ لَهُۥ لَوۡ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا وَمِثۡلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفۡتَدَوۡاْ بِهِۦٓۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ 18. For those who answered their Lord’s Call [believed in the Oneness of Allâh and followed His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم i.e. Islâmic Monotheism] is Al-Husnâ (i.e. Paradise). But those who answered not His Call (disbelieved in the Oneness of Allâh and followed not His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), if they had all that is in the earth together with its like, they would offer it in order to save themselves (from the torment, but it will be in vain). For them there will be the terrible reckoning. Their dwelling-place will be Hell; and worst indeed is that place for rest.[2] (V.13:18) See the footnotes of (V.3:164), (V.3:85) and (V.3:91). آية: 19 ۞أَفَمَن يَعۡلَمُ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ٱلۡحَقُّ كَمَنۡ هُوَ أَعۡمَىٰٓۚ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ 19. Shall he then who knows that what has been revealed unto you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) from your Lord is the truth be like him who is blind? But it is only the men of understanding that pay heed. آية: 20 ٱلَّذِينَ يُوفُونَ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَنقُضُونَ ٱلۡمِيثَٰقَ 20. Those who fulfil the Covenant of Allâh and break not the Mîthâq (bond, treaty, covenant). آية: 21 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُمۡ وَيَخَافُونَ سُوٓءَ ٱلۡحِسَابِ 21. And those who join that which Allâh has commanded to be joined (i.e. they are good to their relatives and do not sever the bond of kinship), and fear their Lord, and dread the terrible reckoning (i.e. abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allâh has forbidden and perform all kinds of good deeds which Allâh has ordained). آية: 22 وَٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنفَقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ سِرّٗا وَعَلَانِيَةٗ وَيَدۡرَءُونَ بِٱلۡحَسَنَةِ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عُقۡبَى ٱلدَّارِ 22. And those who remain patient, seeking their Lord’s Countenance, perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and spend out of that which We have bestowed on them, secretly and openly, and defend evil with good, for such there is a good end. آية: 23 جَنَّـٰتُ عَدۡنٖ يَدۡخُلُونَهَا وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنۡ ءَابَآئِهِمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِهِمۡۖ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَدۡخُلُونَ عَلَيۡهِم مِّن كُلِّ بَابٖ 23. ‘Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), which they shall enter and (also) those who acted righteously from among their fathers, and their wives, and their offspring. And angels shall enter unto them from every gate (saying): آية: 24 سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُم بِمَا صَبَرۡتُمۡۚ فَنِعۡمَ عُقۡبَى ٱلدَّارِ 24. "Salâmun ‘Alaikum (peace be upon you) for you persevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home!" آية: 25 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهۡدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مِيثَٰقِهِۦ وَيَقۡطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱللَّعۡنَةُ وَلَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ 25. And those who break the Covenant of Allâh, after its ratification, and sever that which Allâh has commanded to be joined (i.e. they sever the bond of kinship and are not good to their relatives), and work mischief in the land, on them is the curse (i.e. they will be far away from Allâh’s Mercy), and for them is the unhappy (evil) home (i.e. Hell)[1].

Jenna: "Don't go tooo fast cuz sometimes this thing falls off." Next scene: *winding super fast :D This is so helpful! I always forgot how to do all the basic things between every time I wanted to alter something and had to ask my mom to teach me on her sewing machine :D Then I finally bought my OWN a few months ago and have been too lazy to learn again :D Also thanks for the "stuff you need" - I forgot they don't include like anything with the sewing machine, so it's helpful to have a beginner stuff list for going to the craft store!
im fairly a beginner but what i was told was to sew w 1/4 seam allowance. so i was a lil confused when you mentioned you use a 5/8. but overall love your video compared with others,. your instructions are helpfule and very understanding
