Sewing is not only an ancient art but also a modern necessity. Don't like the clothes you find in stores? Sew your own. Enjoy costuming or cosplay? Learn to make your own to save money. Need a repetitive task to calm your mind? Learn to stitch by hand or machine. With the basics of sewing you can take thrifted clothes and up-cycle them, with an intermediate knowledge, you can make new clothes, linens, and decorations from patterns, and with an advanced understanding you can even begin to make your own patterns and design your own outfits from start to finish. Make your friends and family members Christmas gifts tailored just to them or keep your creations for your own use. Whatever you do, don't give up when the sewing machine jams. I promise it'll be worth it in the end.
