About
Sewing & Sewing-Related Arts... Sewing is alive & well! At times people
will comment that "sewing is a dying art". Not so! And in fact sewing is gaining in popularity
throughout the world across
age groups and both genders for a large variety of reasons. Sewing
and other fiber arts are increasingly becoming an "outspoken art",
as more people are able to share their interests, talent, projects, assistance,
questions and
businesses using the internet; as well as by joining and participating in sewing and fiber arts organizations and groups. As with most professions and hobbies, there are many types of sewing ... including but not limited to garment construction, surface design, traditional quilts, art quilts, alterations, repairs & mending, re-purposing (a relatively new term for a centuries-long practice of reusing fabric for other than the original purpose), craft & gift making, custom & bridal dressmaking, fashion and couture sewing, embellishing "off the rack" items and much more. Sewing and the ability
to sew - whether by hand or by machine - truly has "something for
everyone"; from simple to complicated and using machines run by
human-powered treadle or by computer, and everything in between. "Whatever
you decide to do ... do the best at it that you can."
