The benefits of sewing
For Everyone:
Reduced Stress
Sewing encourages mindfulness and reduces stress and anxiety. The meditative action of sewing encourages positivity and feelings of relaxation.
Improved Motor Skills
Sewing enhances motor skills. The attention to detail that sewing requires encourages hand-eye-coordination and improves a person’s ability to concentrate.
Stimulates Creativity
Sewing requires creativity, which improves the brain’s ability to grow new brain cells.
Boost Positivity
Like other craft activities, sewing increases dopamine in the brain, which makes us feel more positive.
Encourages Focus
Because sewing makes you remember specific steps, it works the brain and keeps the mind clear, focused and active. This can help prevent dementia as you grow older.
