Sewing: A Lifelong Friend

Sewing has been such a faithful and reliable friend for many, many years. It’s there for me at any time of day, in any moment I have to spare, and in more situations than one might think. It has given me so much to live for and has connected me with communities I may not have otherwise known about, let alone have a personal connection that I have been so lucky to experience. Despite all of the time I have invested into learning about different techniques, there is always more to learn. It is a craft that is almost as old as time and connects me to my mixed heritage in a very fulfilling way. Harnessing the craft has given me a marketable skill that allows me to help many people in my direct community with their clothing alteration needs. In short, sewing is not only my best friend but also, my superpower.
