Sewing is bringing the entire family together in a shared, creative activity. And, sewing can even reduce stress, according to a recent clinical study conducted by Dr. Robert Reiner, a behavioral psychologist and biofeedback specialist. Look for ideas in home decorating and family magazines, as well as the growing breed of home office publications.
Supplies are easy to access.
Kits of all kinds are available, including fusible shade kits for instant custom roll shades and even lampshade kits. In today's more fluid living spaces, you can define a home gym, office or workspace with moveable screens. Fill hinged, plywood panels with pleated fabric and edge with cording or ribbon. Or, look for screen making kits. Sew simple fabric panels which can function as room dividers by sliding back and forth on decorator hardware.
