My favorite thing about sewing is the creative it gives me.
Sewing is a great “levelter” for me. It can either challenge me adding several wrinkles to my brain as I solve problems I encounter or try to make the next “my Mom can make that” opportunity; or, it can soothe me into a zone of mindless productiveness as an oft repeated task puts me in a comfortable, almost meditative, “zone” .while my mind wanders.
My favorite thing about sewing is the order it bring to my otherwise chaotic life. Each step is thought out and planned then followed through. In the end I have something I am proud of creating. Seeing is a stress relief in a stressful place, it is a calm in a troublesome storm, it is peace. Simply sewing is happiness.
My favorite thing about sewing is that it takes me away from the daily routine. I can lose myself in my project whether it is making doll clothes, quilting, sewing for my granddaughters or just creating. I’ve been sewing for a lot of years and it’s always been my “go to” for relaxation and creativity.
My favorite thing about sewing is the endless choices I can make in fabrics and patterns to create something.
