  2. 5 reasons sewing is good for the aging brain

Here's How Sewing Keeps You Vital, Fit and Happy

1. Sewing is Cheaper than Therapy

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. Sewing can be your sweet escape from the things in your day that make you the most stressed. 


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. The Craftroom is my Happy Place 

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. Get Your Brain in the 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. Goodnight, Sleep Tight 

Exercising your brain during the day by sewing pushes it into well-deserved sleep at night. If you’re awake again at 3 am, 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. Now that you know these benefits, I bet you never want to quit!

Sewing Should be Easy, Comfortable, and Fun!

Here at Madam Sew, our job is to make sewing easier, more comfortable, and more fun for everyone! There is no need to be intimidated by common sewing tasks. That is why Madam Sew has created amazing tools that make both the most common tasks and advanced techniques easy for every sewer regardless of age or experience level. 


You should be able to simplify your sewing life and sew comfortably even when you are getting a little older. Here at Madam Sew, we plan to keep on developing tools and tutorials that do just that!

Sewing is Good for You!

YES! I'll say it again, sewing is good for you. Therefore, it should always be comfortable and enjoyable! However, getting older may confront you with some challenges while 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 needle. If age or other barriers are causing your sewing projects to become more stressful than relaxing, Madam Sew is here to help!


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

“I am now able to sew more comfortably and for longer periods of time.” – Kim Book


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!

I can see clearly now, the shadows are gone!

If you suffer from reduced eyesight due to age, or less-than-great genes, our sewing machine light strip will help you get the job done at any hour of the day. When the shadows appear, the light strip is near! You'll quickly find that this sewing light strip is a necessity, regardless of your eyesight. It lights up the exact area you're working on. With Madam Sew's light strip, you can forget about fighting shadows ever again!  Bring your sewing projects to life, by bringing them to light! Click here to view it now.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"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." Lucia A.


Thread Your Needle With Ease

If you’re just about done trying to get that darn thread into the needle, don’t fret (or throw it at your spouse)! We've created a threader that saves you the trouble and frustration.

See MadamSew’s Ultimate Needle threader here! 

Ditch the Ironing Board for This

Leave that ironing board right where it belongs – in the cupboard - and get yourself a handy and effective wool pressing mat instead. No longer do you have to move back and forth between the ironing board and the sewing table. You will have both within reach at the same time!

No More Sleeping Beauty

Enjoy all the beauty without the excessive sleeping or finger pricking. Instead of struggling with small pins and stabbing your fingers, why not simply use sewing clips?

Solve the pin dilemma by clicking here to view our sewing clips now.

At MadamSew, we say “The right tool makes all the difference.” Our products make sewing more comfortable and allow you to keep on creating beautiful projects as you age.
