Sewing with a machine would definitely make the sewing easier and faster. But why do hand sewing? The first reason would be if you do not own a sewing machine, of course. That's pretty obvious. The second reason is that hand sewing is relaxing and meditative. You heard it right. When you get focused on hand sewing your project, the usual chatters in your head vanish.
Another reason to do hand sewing is that it allows for more control over the project. With hand sewing, you can adjust the tension and stitch length precisely. Additionally, hand sewing is great for delicate fabrics and intricate designs that may be difficult to sew with a machine. It also allows for a more personal touch, as each stitch is made by hand.
While a machine may be more efficient, there are many reasons to hand sew. Here are 38 sewing patterns for you!
