sewing is very satisfying ! I started sewing in 1961 and fell in love with it
I enjoy sewing because it is such a creative outlet. Even though sewing is something I do by myself I feel as though I am surrounded by talented women through the websites like pixiefaire…I am so glad to have discovered this site and all it has to offer.
I love to sew because it’s creative. It’s my happy place. The joy of accomplishment is fun.
Sewing provides an activity that I can do at anytime. It can also drive me crazy when I try to do something that my dyslexic mind cannot comprehend. Your patterns remedy this problem and walk me step by step through potentially difficult steps. The finished product is why I sew and despite hassles, when I hand the little girl next door a new outfit for her doll, it’s all worthwhile.
I love sewing for many reasons. The first is the sense of accomplishment! To see something that was pieces of fabric into a beautiful garment. I tell my Grand daughter, it is like building a puzzle, one piece at a time! I love the memories of my Grandmother teaching me how to sew and I know she is still with me every stitch I take! And mostly, the joy in the faces of the people I sew for, young and old.
