Stress relief - Sewing encourages mindfulness and reduces stress and anxiety. The meditative action of sewing encourages positivity and feelings of relaxation.
Improved hand-eye coordination - If you’re keen to enhance your motor skills, sewing does just that; especially hand-eye-coordination. The attention to detail that sewing requires encourages coordination and relieves physical issues such as back pain.
Brain growth - Sewing requires creativity, which improves the brain’s ability to grow new brain cells.
Happiness - Like other craft activities, sewing increases dopamine in the brain, which makes us feel more positive.
It fights dementia - Because sewing makes you remember specific steps, it works the brain and keeps the mind clear, focused and active. This can help prevent dementia as you grow older.
