I usually sew everything by hand. Cutting out fabric pieces and
sewing them together by hand takes much time and labor. However
the joy of creating is a great reward for me. Sometimes I work
with a sewing machine, but I just know that working by hand is
more accurate and faster.
I think the women who made a long time ago must have felt joy in forgetting their
hard life and concentrating on their needlework. That is the same feeling that
I have when I dedicate my time to creative works.
