How to Sew a Ladder Stitch by Hand

The Ladder Stitch (aka Invisible Stitch) can be an invaluable skill in any sewist's repertoire. Versatile and discreet, it's a lovely way to close up turning holes, attach decorative elements like Animal features, and repair popped seams quickly and easily, all without any visible stitches showing. 

Sounds like magic, right? It feels like it sometimes, too!

So, come have a sit with me in my sewing studio as I share just how simple and achievable the technique is - no magic wand required.

See, wasn't that easy? I promise you can do it too - just give it a go! You'll find it helpful on everything from Satchels, as shown, to Fedoras, Traveller Capes, Pixie and Grove Coats, Pathfinder Vests and more!

I hope you've found this helpful - happy sewing! xox
