I love to sew because I have inherited this gift from my mother.  I enjoyed wearing the outfits my mother made for me, and this inspired me.  I became so interested in sewing, by watching my mother, in no time; I was making my own clothes.  Sewing is such a great art.  There are numerous things I can do when you know how to sew.  It is always an accomplishment when to create different things.  Creativity stimulates my imagination to use color and style to make beautiful things.

If you can sew, you do not need to buy ready made clothes and pay the full price.  You can use your imagination to make many things to suit your own taste.  If you need window curtains, you  can buy plain ones, or make them yourself and add fancy lace, trimmings, or beads that may look more attractive, to decorate your home.  You will also enjoy sprucing up your pillow cases, bed sheets, and hand towels.  Sewing gives you a lot of ideas to make many beautiful things and is an enjoyable hobby, that is very relaxing.

Not only can you fix many things in your home that need sewing, but save money.  You can also earn money by sewing for others.  There are always family members who need buttons on their shirts that fell off, or torn pants to be mended.  Usually the clothes you buy ready made, need alterations of some sort.  If a skirt is too long, you have to know how to cut it and hem it back, so it fits properly.  When you can sew, you are able to do all these things without taking them to a tailor, and it is very rewarding when you know, you can take care of them myself.

Sewing has many more benefits.  The more you can sew the more experience you acquire. You can also enhance your creativity with color and designs.  If you have good artistic skills and imagination and know to sew; you can draw your own designs according to the style you want, and then construct a pattern.  From this pattern you cut the fabric and sew it together to make a perfect fitting garment, which you will enjoy wearing.  You can also make beautiful crafts to sell, and run your own alterations business, or have a store of your own, to display your items. 

For one who can sew, there are many opportunities awaiting them not only at home but in the working world as well.  Besides being able to sew your own clothing, decorate your home with beautiful trimmings, you can aim for other areas of work that involve sewing:  making crafts, patternmaking or becoming a fashion designer.  There are many ways to use your skills when you can sew.
