XAMPP for Windows - Apache not starting

I was trying to set up multiple websites on my computer, following this tutorial: https://delanomaloney.com/2013/07/how-to-set-up-virtual-hosts-using-xampp/

I stopped apache and then changed two files: hosts and httpd-vhosts.conf.

Here is hosts:

   # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names.     Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#   127.0.0.1       localhost
#   ::1             localhost

127.0.0.1             localhost
127.0.0.1             www.sewing.dev

And httpd-vhosts.conf:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
ServerName localhost

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/sewing"
ServerName sewing.dev
ServerAlias www.sewing.dev
<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/sewing">
AllowOverride All
Require all Granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I saved the files and clicked to restart apache. Nothing happens. It says that it's attempting to start but doesn't actually start. I checked the error logs, but didn't see anything that I could understand.

Error log:

When I comment out all of the httpd-vhosts.conf file, apache will start.

You need to close your default virtual host directive.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
  ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost> # <<< missing closing directiv!!!
