5 Reasons Sewing is Good for the Aging Brain
Keep Sewing, it is Good for You!
HOW SEWING KEEPS YOU VITAL, FIT AND HAPPY
1. Major Stress Relief!
A recent study found that out of several stress-reducing activities, like playing cards, painting, reading, and sewing, the latter actually takes the cake as the most relaxing.
2. Advances Hand-Eye Coordination
Sewing, knitting, quilting, and other related activities play a “helping hand” in your hand-eye coordination. You will enhance and advance your motor skills through the attention-to-detail required. Watch as you improve on other everyday tasks as well!
3. Don’t Worry, Be Happy!
While you’re sewing, knitting, crocheting, quilting, or crafting just about anything else, your brain rewards you with a nice boost in dopamine, AKA, your happy hormone! Your reward comes even before the task is completed.
4. Brain Gym
Like the rest of your body, your brain needs exercise to stay in good shape. Sewing keeps your brain active and concentrated, which might even boost your memory! Forget about forgetting, sewing has the power to lower the risk of dementia.
The act of constantly trying something different or learning new tricks, patterns, and methods opens many brain doors. Sewing has been shown to encourage the formation of new neurons in the brain due to the repeated creative thinking process.
5. Sleep Heals
Exercising your brain during the day by sewing pushes it into well deserved sleep at night. . If you’re awake again at 3am, though, use sewing to reset by working on any sewing project for a while. Then go back to sleep. Sleeplessness gone, project done!
Sewing is meant to be fun, pain-free and stress-free, regardless of age. Seeing these benefits, you now know to never ever quit!
Is there a sewer who has never put off sewing because she dreaded threading the needle?

No sewer ever complained about the ability to light the darkness and clearly see the stitches!
YES! Sewing is good for you. But getting older also confronts you with some challenges while you’re behind your sewing machine. You can’t seem to see that dark thread on that dark fabric anymore. Or get the darn thread onto the darn needle. You don’t know what this or the other foot is for. Well, you’re not alone. MadamSew is the saving grace that will get you back to doing what you love, without getting frustrated or giving up.
Sewing should be a fun and relaxing hobby. When age or other obstacles try to get you down, simply stick a pin in it and carry on creating with MadamSew's comfort sewing tools!

"This light just came in handy for my aging eyes. I have a hard time concentrating on sewing straight lines with the built in light. Now I can see it very clear due to its fantastic natural hue lighting. The installation is a breeze and it came with great instruction and diagram. I definitely recommend this product to all sewers."

A Needle in a "Thread-Stack"

Ditch the Ironing Board for This
