#BLC 2018 - Day 14: What Sewing Means To Me & Others...

...sewing means so much to me; it's my happy place even when every stitch isn't perfect.  I find solace in my sewing room at the end of a stressful day even if I don't end up sewing a stitch.  It helps me release pressure.  I could go on and on about what sewing means to me; but I'm also interested in knowing what it means to other sewists like myself.  So I reached out to the sewing community to find out and wanted to share their thoughts here:

MESHA STANLEY ECHEVARRIA

Sewing is my place of PEACE. It allows ME to be Me. I was in a relationship where I wasn't able to express myself, and both my natural and artistic voices were silenced. Even though I was eventually  able to escape that relationship, I wasn't able to free my mind from years of bondage. Once I began to sew I found my voice and I learned so much about myself. Whenever I feel myself getting down about anything, I get in front of the sewing machine, get to work, and all the negative energy begins to dissipate and I am able to get into my PEACEFUL zone.

You should see all the beautiful things Mesha creates in her PEACEFUL zone:
