Aloha

from beautiful Kaua'i, Hawai'i, nicknamed the "Garden Isle" in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  
My name is Eileen Miyasato, and I am happy to welcome you to Sewing Blessings!

10 Reasons to Learn to Sew!

Picture
1.  It's becoming a lost art.  Much will be at stake if we don't continue the art; for example, fabric stores and sewing machine companies would be affected and basically the whole clothing and related industries.

2.  You can save money by sewing for yourself, your family, for your home and make gifts for special loved ones in your life.

3.  You can alter ready-made clothes, and as you gain experience have a clothing alteration's business, as there is a demand for this service.

4.  You can have custom-made garments, quilts or crafts, expressing your individual creativity.

5.  The sewing machine is one of the wisest and most practical investments you can make.  Gandhi said, "The sewing machine is one of the few, most useful inventions."

6.  Sewing also opens the opportunity to earn extra money, so, in effect your sewing machine will indeed "pay for itself."

7.  You can pass on your sewing skill to others, i.e. your family members (e.g. children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews) and friends.

8.  Anyone can learn to sew, regardless of age or gender.  One of my student's mom is still sewing at 97 years old.  The only requirement is to have a desire to learn and to be teachable.

9.  Sewing builds one's self esteem and is personally gratifying.  You will take pride in what you make.

10. You'll be using your time wisely.  Sewing is relaxing, therapeutic, and an excellent hobby.  You will find a new "sewing family" that you can share the JOYS of sewing, and compare notes.

Someone said that sewing may prevent Alzheimer's Disease; I don't know about that, but sewing can cause forgetfulness in other areas, such as cooking, housework, laundry, etc.

When I'm asked, "How are you?"  I reply, "SEW, SEW!"  Another friend says to me, "You SEAMSTRESS!"   I would  reply, "No, I'm not stressed."  But, really, SEWING IS SEW MUCH FUN!  TRY IT! YOU'LL LOVE IT!
