I love sewing because…I can literally gift myself or my loved ones something new every day ! I mostly make doll clothes, so it’s a challenge to get some things to fit,but I love that there’s always something new to learn, a new skill to master, a new tool to employ. Even the people in my life who’ve moved past needing miniature garments love that I can fix or alter things at nearly a moment’s notice. Now that things (for us, at least) have taken a financial downturn, my stash is providing all that at no cost. I love sewing !
“Why I love sewing”.. I love sewing because it is a craft passed on to me from my mother and that makes sewing priceless it’s very relaxing and comforting for me to see something that I created. It allows me to express my creativeness with every item that I sew. Sewing is something that expresses love in every stitch because my items are all created one of a kind by me compared to what is in the store that everyone else has. To me that makes sewing truly rewarding, special and unique.
I love to sew because it gives me such a sense of accomplishment to finally finish something. Especially if it is something that has given me such a headache during the process. I am always excited when I finish a project and sit back and think of the hard work I put into it and the amazing end result!
What an amazing book to win and autographed as well! I shall keep my fingers and toes crossed!
I love to sew because it shows my love to my children through the things I make for them and is a skill I can teach them. I like to see others amazed by the clothes I have made and it is so much more fun that housework.:)
