If you needed any reason to take up sewing, we have the best justification: sewing makes you happy! 😲
Indeed, a study was conducted by sociologists over 14 years at Stanford, a panel of 10,000 women was observed, and imagine, those who practiced sewing reported being 50% happier!
… No, we're just kidding 😅, but for us, sewing brings us happiness! And here's why:
✂️Because sewing is a rewarding and hands-on activity:
Indeed, in this world where we no longer know how to manage on our own, where as soon as we have a problem, our best friend is called Google, skills are being lost, and that's a shame! So sewing is a bit of an act of resistance, using our hands and tools to reclaim an art as old as the world (yes, yes, an art!).
Plus, it's rewarding, because you see the result of your work and efforts, and that's great!
📵Because sewing involves making a cut:
With days moving at breakneck speed, work, friends, children, and family, finding time for a hobby can seem complicated… But what a joy it is to be able to dedicate yourself to an activity for a set period, to escape, concentrate, improve your skills, and take time for yourself and enjoy yourself! The best remedy!
👗Because you can create a unique wardrobe:
Warning, fashionista argument alert (So 2008…)! Have you ever seen someone on the street wearing the same t-shirt as you? If so, you know you don't want that to happen again! Sewing is about choosing your fabrics, your colors, your patterns—in short, your desires! Plus, in the long run, without even getting out your calculator, you'll save money…
👋Because sewing is also about sharing and making wonderful connections:
Sewing means being part of a large sewing community, which is very much about sharing and kindness among its members, and that's a real privilege! So naturally, along the way, it leads to wonderful encounters between professionals, amateurs, in short, all those passionate about sewing!
🌍Because it's a responsible/useful activity:
Consuming responsibly is good, but consuming less is better! Sewing allows you to mend a garment instead of throwing it away just because it has a hole… #upcycling . And it works for you, your partner, your children, and the whole family!
If you're still not convinced 🧐, there's only one solution left: try it! Isn't striving for happiness a truly noble cause? 🤗
And never forget: a happy fabric is a sewn fabric! #happyfabrics
Happy sewing to all the first workshop participants! 😘 #firstworkshop27
