Why the coronavirus quarantine is the perfect reason to get out the sewing machine!
In these difficult times, many are having to self-isolate and are stuck at home. Keen to do the right thing of course. But then there’s the question – “what are you going to do all day?” There’s no reason why you shouldn’t do something you love and that is really useful at the same time. Sewing is the answer, according to a recent piece on the ABC website in Australia.
Whether you’re an experienced sewist, a hobbyist, or someone who is considering taking up the noble art for the first time, there may never have been a better time to get going. Being productive and having fun is a rather good combination after all, argues Sarah Moss.
The article features Loo Taylor, who trained at the London College of Fashion and has a “passion for textiles” and is a skilled pattern maker. Interestingly, she is convinced that the current curse of fast fashion is “one reason women no longer sew”.
“It’s OK to put hours of work into something if you make it out of good fabric and it fits you, and it suits you and you love it … you’ll wear it for years.”
The article reveals how Intan Kallus started her sewing journey by watching YouTube how-tos, running up shopping bags and clothes for her daughter.
