My mum use to make my clothes for me when I was little and they were really good.
I started sewing when I was in high school and really enjoyed creating things (and of course showing them off)
For my 21st birthday my family brought me a sewing/ embrod machine and I just love it.
I love sewing because it reminds me of when I was a child and makes me relaxed (most of the time)
I also loving seeing the looks on peoples face when I create something they love.

I <3 <3 <3 hand sewing because I find it relaxing, yet I enjoy machine sewing for the feeling of being productive!! Don't ask me why...

BUT I love the outcome of stuff, like I <3 <3 <3 taking old items and jazzing them up into something new. One less thing for the bin!! As you can see I do like to recycle stuff.

Also I love the feeling and idea that by sewing and designing stuff, we are making ourselves more unique. I love it when my friends comment on something I've made, they're like "where did you get that?!" and I'm like "I made it!!" it always seems to amaze them Happy

Ohh..I see that you've already got what you needed, but I like this topic, so here goes:

I like to sew because there is something magical about how a flat piece of fabric can turn into an amazing, 3D piece of art. Every time I complete something, I look from the scraps of fabric laying around to the finished piece and thing..."now isn't that something?, Look how I've turned nothing into something!" It's not so much relaxing for me, as I'm usually in a fit of stops and starts and cussing at my machine, but it's more of an adventure. Like some people like to rock climb so they can be proud of their achievement when they reach the top...I like to sew so I can be proud of myself for something that I've done that not many people have the skill or the patience for anymore. Makes me feel like part of a special group of talented people. ;)

I like going out in something I've sewn and getting compliments about it, it means so much more to me when someone likes what I've made rather than something I bought - though any compliment is good imo!

Sewing keeps me calm and collected. It helps me think and knowing I'm wearing one of my own designs makes me feel so happy. It also saves money and makes your clothing style unique. Knowing Im wearing an orignial peice by me makes me smile! Happy

I love taking a piece of fabric and turning it into something awesome and beautiful. That is satisfying and it is pretty relaxing, especially with some music on.
