How to sew by hand! (Using a simple backstitch)

Several people have been asking me to post some tutorials on plushie making, but I thought "what about those without sewing machines?" At any rate, learning to sew by hand is a skill you will need to make plushies, whether you have a sewing machine or not.

For toys and clothes, it is not sufficient to use a running stitch, or else it's too easy to pull the thread, and the fabric will bunch up like a curtain. Also you won't be able to make a strong seam with a running stitch. The stitch you can learn in this tutorial is strong. It's basically how people made clothes and things before sewing machines were even invented! Tried and true!

Stand by for a tutorial on a simple plush next :)
