STUDENT TELLS HER STORY
Sewing has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s a skill that has been passed down through generations in my family, and I feel a deep connection to it. To me, sewing is more than just a hobby or a craft – it’s a way of expressing my creativity, connecting with my heritage, and finding joy in the simple act of creating something with my hands.
Growing up, I spent countless hours watching my grandmother sew. She was a talented seamstress who could make anything from a simple dress to a complex quilt. She taught me the basics of sewing, and I quickly fell in love with the process. I loved choosing fabrics, piecing together patterns, and seeing the final product take shape.
As I got older, sewing became a way for me to express my individuality. I could create my own clothes and accessories that reflected my personal style and taste. I loved the feeling of wearing something that I had made myself – it gave me a sense of pride and confidence that I couldn’t get from store-bought clothes.
MORE TO SEWING
But sewing is more than just a way to create clothes or accessories. It’s also a way to connect with my heritage and preserve traditions that have been passed down through my family. When I sew, I feel a deep sense of connection to my ancestors who also practiced this skill. It’s a way for me to honour their legacy and keep their memory alive.
CREATING SOMETING BY HAND
Finally, sewing is a way for me to find joy in the simple act of creating something with my hands. In today’s fast-paced, digital world, it can be easy to forget the satisfaction that comes from making something from scratch. But when I sit down at my sewing machine and start working on a project, I feel a sense of calm and contentment that is hard to find anywhere else.
In conclusion, sewing means so much to me. It’s a way for me to express my creativity, connect with my heritage, and find joy in the act of creating. Whether you’re an experienced seamstress or a beginner just starting out, I encourage you to explore the world of sewing and see what it can mean to you. Who knows – it might just become a lifelong passion, like it has for me.
