This is one of the easiest tutorials I've ever seen. I'm excited to begin making some of my own. Far easier than trying to figure out directions from a pattern piece of paper

I have Sanae's book "Sewing Love" and love this simple sewalong video as a confidence builder. She explains things so clearly.
