I’m self taught. I can’t tell you the names of the stitches I do. I just try until it works. I’ve also never used a sewing machine lol

There are heaps of resources to learn from, heaps of yt tutorials and websites, the other place has plenty of communities ready to help as well. It’s a great skill to have! I’d much rather repair the clothes I love and repurpose others as fabric, than to buy new. If I buy clothes, it’s from Brunswick Savers or an Op Shop (NOT salvos tho!!).

I did a blanket stitch (instructables.com/Sewing-Blanket-Stitch-Coasters/) which is super easy, to hem my jorts. And then I did a another stitch above it, that I have found out is very similar to the backstitch in embroidery (again also so so easy), but involve looping like the blanket stitch.

When I’m not drunk and tired, I will upload a smol video to show you, because these stitches are very strong and very easy and it will help with repairs and to get you started :3
