My mother sewed because she “had to”, it was expected of her generation to “know” how to mend things. I sew because I “have to”, it is in my soul. I need to be creative every day just like I need to breathe. Sewing plays a vital role in my creativity.
I love sewing simply because it uses my “artful” side to come up with something useful to satisfy my “practical” side.
It’s always fun to share sewing tips…. new ones and old ones. Thanks for a new book with great ideas. j Mrs.C.
I love sewing because it makes me feel connected to my mother who taught me to sew when I was a child. She passed away several years ago and I inherited her sewing machine, so I feel like she is with me and inspiring me every time I sew. It is also a creative stress reliever for me!
I love to see the crafts that the “girls” are up to. The photos are adorable!!
