Meeting SewStitchez and her sons in person has been such a pleasure! The family have came as the 5 year old boy wanted to buy fabric to make crafts for friends. He picked out the penguin fabric at the store.
What made this encounter even more heartwarming was the fact that this young boy had a deep fascination with volcanoes and tsunamis. Despite his intense interest in these natural phenomena, he demonstrated remarkable patience by devoting his time to craft. He was diligently sewing pouches for his friends, which undoubtedly revealed his kindness and thoughtfulness. The process of using craft scissors to cut the fabric and then slowly sewing it into pouches must have been immensely satisfying for him. He have then gifted them to his class of friends, what a great friend he is!!
Mummy has also found this sewing experience to be a wonderful bonding opportunity with her child. It’s a great moment teaching him her skill. The shared moments spent over the sewing machine brought them closer and created great memories in their new creation.
This heartwarming encounter serves as a poignant reminder that sewing is not limited by age. Even young children can derive joy and fulfillment from this creative and hands-on activity. Parents and/or grandparents can teach their children and grandchildren how to sew, creating opportunities for bonding and shared experiences. This transfer of knowledge and tradition reinforces the idea that sewing is an act of love within families.
