For the Love of Sewing

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore why professional women who are expert sewers love to sew, while at the same time determine how they perceived and identified with their acts of making. We were interested in understanding why women love working with fabrics, textiles, threads and needles and immersing themselves in making things.
