Sew Your Stressors Away
Do you like to sew? Perhaps you tried crocheting as a child but
never liked it. It could be that Aunt Grace tried to teach you
how to hem handkerchiefs but you never caught on. Or that
lopsided afghan throw lying crumpled on the sofa might be your
first and last foray into the land of knitting needles. But even
if you have never tried needlework, or if the first effort
didn't go over too well, it's never too late to try again,
especially since sewing is a great way to reduce stress and
express your artistic capabilities.
Although sewing used to be largely a female pastime, today more
and more men are giving it a try. Mixed Bible studies have
produced hand-sewn quilts that included squares sown by male
members as well as the ladies. Male nurses join their female
counterparts in the break room to stitch a needlepoint design or
knit a scarf. Some men even enter quilting competitions--and
win--much to the chagrin of their mothers, sisters, and wives.
Whatever your age, gender, or income status, you may want to
take up some type of sewing art as a means of reducing the
stress in your life. Many hyperactive people claim that sewing
allows their fingers to stay busy while their bodies take a
needed break. Sedentary folks appreciate the opportunity to
engage minds and hands in productive endeavors while seated in a
favorite chair or relaxing environment, perhaps watching
television or listening to music at the same time, or engaged in
conversation with loved ones. There are
those who crochet during
their break and lunch times at work, or save their needlework
for after dinner while resting in the family room. Some use
their needle and thread as a focus point for gathering with
others who enjoy this hobby.
Sewing, whether it be through knitting, crocheting,
needlepoint, darning, or quilting, as well as other forms,
provides a creative outlet for those who want to express beauty
or meaning through their hands but are unable or unwilling to do
so via cooking, writing, or sculpture. It doesn't cost a lot to
assemble the needed sewing materials; the correct size needles,
thread, and fabric or background item is really all you need to
start. You can put together a sewing basket later, if the hobby
really takes hold. Learning how to make small, even stitches
that repair torn seams or missing buttons is a valuable skill.
Depicting artwork on handkerchiefs, pillowcases, or other
household items makes a welcome heirloom for generations to
come.
If you're ready to give it a try, pick up a starter kit at your
favorite craft or fabric store. Choose a time when other people
or tasks won't bother you. Then find a comfy spot and begin your
labor of love. Chances are that the day's stress will melt away
as you find yourself enjoying the creation of art that unfolds
with each movement of your fingers.
