Why I Love Sewing

1. It is a creative outlet to express myself
2. Make personalized gifts with love
3. It appeals to my frugal nature-mend items, alterations, remake items to give them new life
4. You get the color, style, size you want
5. Zen meditation
6. Satisfaction of seeing a project from beginning to end

Icing on the cake: When people compliment things I've made, I feel great!

If you don't sew, try it, if you do, tell me what you enjoy about it.
