Sewing is an escape for me….when I sew, I lose all track of time and find myself in a kind of limbo until the item/garment is finished, and I can then hold it up with joy and satisfaction!
This has been true all my life, and I hope to pass this pleasure to my grandchildren. Would love to give the sewing book to one of them!
Many years ago I found myself very ill. I was unable to do anything that I once found joy in. I refused to sit and accept my fate, and began to make a gift for my daughters friend who was expecting. I say that like it took a day. It took me weeks to be able to set up my machine and find thread and I most likely had to stay in bed for a week after attempting to purchase fabric. I did not drive at that time either someone had to take me. I finished it, not up to what my skill level is now but the very best I could do at that time. Sewing offers us a way to get outside ourselves and think about someone other than us. Congratulations on the publishing of a book, I sure more goes into it than what the reader could ever imagine.
One big reason is that I love the smile on my granddaughter’s face when I give her a doll outfit that I sewed with her favorite colors.
I would love to win Cinnamon’s new book. I love all the patterns here
I love sewing for many reasons, one of them is that it is carrying on a tradition handed down thru generations….Thanks, MOM!
