Sew Therapeutic

Two years ago, one of my besties introduced me to the world of sewing. Being that I didnʻt learn to cook till I was married, of course, I couldnʻt sew either. Iʻve done simple stitching here and there but never a serious sewing project with a beginning, middle and end. I started off sewing blankets and cute little hooded towels. Shortly after, I sewed blankets with more details and layers. Itʻs been a fun and very therapeutic learning process. Because of the lack of time and childcare, I am unable to attend sewing lessons. So what do I do? I go on Google and I find online lessons to teach myself a thing or two. I must say that I am pretty comfortable now with my sewing, and maybe a little bold even since Iʻve given some as gifts. I always add a little side note of precaution to the recipient to never wash the items for the seams might just untangle and theyʻll end up with a piece of fabric which then I am no longer responsible for. Thanks to sew many inspirational acquaintances of mine, Iʻve learned to sew more than just blankets and hooded towels now. Iʻve started sewing blouses and skirts too. Hereʻs a recent project my daughter and I worked on together.

Originally, this was supposed to be her blouse but after completion, she decided to give it to me. Sew nice of her:)

As you can see, I was very content with the results. I even wore it to church that following Sunday to show it off. Sew very vain!

This is me cutting the pattern for my daughterʻs skirt. We didnʻt have a pattern so it was rather challenging.

I love my rotary cutter and cutting mat. It is the foundation to all of my projects...they are sew helpful!

Her sew fed up look..thereʻs no picture to the finished skirt yet...mainly cuz itʻs sew unfinished.

This is a baby blanket we sewed for our little friend Blazeʻs first birthday. I hope he will sew love it.

My sewing partner and I started this project at 10 pm...that wasnʻt sew smart because we ended up pulling an all nighter.

The completed blanket looked sew fluffly and warm. We were sew very excited to give it to him.

I really enjoy sewing and am looking forward to many projects my daughter and I can do together. Itʻs therapeutic not because it relaxes us but because it challenges us to an amazing end result that fills both of us with a sense of accomplishment and self satisfaction.
