Why is sewing good for you?

by Lush Cloth January 26, 2021

I am not a writer by any means but with the introduction of Lush Cloth, I thought I would write a little summary about Hobbies and Crafts and in particular why sewing is good for you.

As said on the ‘About Us’ page, I have been sewing on and off for over 10 years, and I started it because a really good friend introduced me to it. I have always liked crafting but found sewing brought me a sense of accomplishment, taking fabric and creating something I would wear that was personal to me. I think I really enjoyed it also as it gave me an outlet to focus on when feeling pressured from work and other responsibilities.

So I thought I would look into some of the benefits and there are numerous, such as:

Being a stress reliever
Improves your overall confidence when undertaking new things, whilst also allowing you to express yourself and develop your abilities
Improve your mental health; especially with the challenging year we have all had globally
Detach from your daily responsibilities and additionally, incorporate family or friends into this wonderful world of sewing and crafting.
Provide an additional income or create a new career opportunity, where your passion can excel

In addition to the above benefits, it has provided for me the opportunity to learn so much. I have been fortunate that sewing has opened a number of doors for me that I thought may not be possible. This is why hobbies are good for you.
For this I am really grateful and it has made me feel like any opportunity I am given, I will always encourage anyone to allocate a really good portion of their free time where possible to their hobbies.

Really appreciate you reading this.
