Benefits of
Sewing
Several
studies indicate that sewing is good for you, mentally
and physically.
Why,
you ask? One, because sewing allows you to relax from
the everyday pressures of life; and second, because it enhances your
self
esteem when you demonstrate your creativity.
The
Home Sewing Association says that studies have shown
that engaging in an activity like sewing reduces your overall heart and
blood
rates and promotes relaxation. Their belief is that sewing involves the
muscles
and the mind, promoting healthier body synergy, and that because sewing
has
been so successful at promoting relaxation among women who sew that it
may be
better than therapy.
The
study further suggests that when you are engaged in a
repetitive task and creating something, like you are with sewing, it
has a
relaxing effect.
Another
study was done to determine if sewing could help you
face and overcome a life-altering and sometimes fatal disease like
breast
cancer. One person stated that sewing was not a priority initially, but
later
found that sewing was her escape from the drama of cancer as it
affected her
life.
According to
the study, sewing can
decrease your heart rate and aid in relaxation.
A
doctor (Ph.D) at New
York Medical
Center
stated that if our bodies were
not allowed to rest from everyday pressures, then we are placing
ourselves at
risk for heart disease or other illnesses. He
believes that creative activities and hobbies,
like sewing, can help
people focus on something productive and get away from their worries
for a
while.
The
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, unfortunately
estimates 178,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer among women, and
2,030
cases among men in the United
States
during 2007.
Recently,
an article in Entrepreneur Magazine states that
sewing related businesses are on the rise nationwide. They have
identified
businesses in Lafayette
and San
Francisco, California;
Austin,
Texas; and
New
York City
that offer a variety of sewing related products and services that are
pushing
some first year sales projections beyond expectations.
With
sickness and disease on the rise, and studies
indicating that sewing is an activity that reduces your overall heart
and blood
rates and promotes relaxation, wouldn’t it be great if we
really promoted
sewing to create a healthier body synergy to reduce medical problems?
And,
it looks
like starting a sewing-related business is a profitable source of
income, while helping others reduce stress, heart disease or
other
illnesses.
If
sewing offers so many benefits, it’s a good thing that
sewing is surfacing again.
For
some of
us, it never diminished. And, if you want to learn how to sew
to
help reduce your stress, express your creativity or start a sewing
business, purchase a copy of my popular sewing ebook immediately, "Sew-It
Like a Pro."
They
are calling it a sewing trend.
For
most of us sewing is more than a
movement, it’s a custom…tailor-made…
tradition.
