Thank you! Go sleep hehe :)

I want to learn how to hand sew but relative has a machine at our house and I will not touch it because don't want to break something accidentally. I am known in the family for breaking everything I touch!

You can't do better than Bernadette Banner's How to Sew a Simple Strong Seam video - covers the absolute hand sewing basics and does it very well. Very good how to use the tools instruction - like how to thread a needle and hold it. Then her Skillshare original course, “Hand Sewing Basics: Working Wonders with Fabric, Needle & Thread”. Recommended.
