I was getting ready to write
today’s post
(it was going to be about how
I didn’t sew this weekend) when I started to think about the things I*did*
do this
weekend; mended some stuff, restyled
a shirt so I’d actually wear it, hemmed a pair of pants and spun some
lovely wool.
Of the 4
main things (besides laundry, grocery shopping and dishes..ick) I
got done this weekend 3 of them included a needle and thread so why don’t I,
at first "glance", consider that sewing?
An
interesting question that made me think.
Is it
because I think of sewing as a creative process? Possibly. Sewing has always
been one of my creative outlets and I love that sense of accomplishment I
get when I have taken a pile of papers, materials, and threads and turned them
into something else. Within that narrow definition then what I did this weekend
would not qualify as sewing. But then, if not sewing….what? The
major components of
sewing were all there; scissors,
needles, thread, a plan.
Perhaps
it’s that there is a difference between “Sewing” and
just “sewing” to
me and “Sewing”
involves some creative process to me.
Something to
think about. ;-)
