Reasons to Sew







I was told once that there are only 4 good reasons to sew:






1. To get a better fit;



2. To be more creative;



3. To get better quality and



4. To save half over the cost of a ready made. With the advent of Ross and good sales at Macy's and my extra weight( which for some reason, made it easier to find clothes that fit), I found fewer and fewer reasons to sew for myself. However, I think some reasons should be added--



5. To have fun making things others will enjoy



6. To avoid cleaning house and



7. To justify buying more fabric!



Now that I am sewing for a variety of people, I find that reasons 1-3 and 5 at least are very valid. Next, I want to take time to sew more art quality clothing.
