| A home sewn dress |
Sewing, stitching, patching - mending clothes is becoming a lost art. Few people have sewing machines, and home ec classes have been eliminated or so watered down that most youngsters don't learn how to sew. It is an ability which can be very useful, however. Today I was able to repair some items for a family member which I enjoyed doing. It is satisfying to put the seams back together and hear the hum of the machine. Voila! A couple of minutes later, the clothing is as good as new. Whether it entails fixing rips or creating a unique personal item for a friend, sewing is very rewarding and appreciated by those who don't know how to do it.
I was admiring your tote bags in the coffee shop today. It is so satisfying to create new things out of old, and breathe new life into others! The best part is the smiles you get when people's treasured garments can be worn again. I decided today to replace the For Sale sign in front of my house with a Sewing sign! Thank you for making this a topic.
