The Associated Press writes "sewing stimulates creativity"
"Children who know how to sew are likely to have an edge in the
high-tech economy of the future" says the Home Sewing
Association.
Activities like sewing and problem - solving skills, according to
clinical study commissioned by the H.S.A, stimulates creativity.
But kids who spend their free time playing with handheld
computer games or watching television, do not.
The study involved 100 students between ages of 8 to 12 and
was designed by Dr. Robert Reiner of New York University's
psychiatry department.
Sewing's choices of color selection, fabric options, design and
proportion help stimulate and focus creative energy and build
self - esteem, according to the study.
Our methods build creativity, self-esteem & reduce stress, while developing patience & perseverance; enhancing problem-solving and other important life skills. Students experience a sense of accomplishment with each finished project, while improving hand/eye co-ordination & other fine motor skills.
Sewing allows people to express themselves and have FUN!! A skill that lasts a lifetime!
There are no mistakes, only lessons to be learned!
