I love to sew by hand too! It makes me sit and rest my brain and helps reduce stress! ( I always embroidered when sitting at a hospital with someone). People enjoy watching us too!

Right? Whenever I stitch on the train, I often look up to see someone watching me. It’s relaxing for the stitcher and for the watcher. πŸͺ‘✌🏽

I also love to sew by hand. I don't mind if it's imperfect. It slows my thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this ! I always knew this intuitively- thanks for putting it down in words to validate the importance of handwork!!!

That was a beautiful piece of writing Beatrice. I found myself stopping and thinking about my breathing. I will try and incorporate some breath work when I pick up my stitching today. Thank you for sharing these wise words. 😊
