Find happiness in the process of making from "summary" of Sewing Happiness by Sanae Ishida
The act of creating something with our own hands is a powerful and fulfilling experience. It allows us to tap into our creative energy and express ourselves in a way that is truly unique. In the world of sewing, this experience is amplified as we engage in the process of selecting fabrics, cutting patterns, and stitching pieces together to create something beautiful and functional. What makes this process even more special is the opportunity to find happiness in each step along the way. From the moment we lay eyes on a piece of fabric that speaks to us, to the satisfaction of seeing our finished creation come to life, there is joy to be found in every moment. It is not just the end result that brings us happiness, but the journey we take to get there. When we take the time to slow down and savor each moment of the making process, we are able to fully immerse ourselves in the task at hand. This mindfulness allows us to appreciate the intricacies of our craft, and to find beauty in the imperfections that make each piece uniquely our own. It is in these small moments of joy and contentment that we find true happiness in our sewing practice. In a world that often feels fast-paced and chaotic, the act of creating something with our hands can provide a sense of calm and grounding. By focusing on the process of making, rather than rushing to the finish line, we are able to connect with ourselves on a deeper level and find peace in the present moment. This mindfulness not only enhances our sewing practice, but also carries over into other areas of our lives, allowing us to approach challenges with a sense of patience and grace. By embracing the concept of finding happiness in the process of making, we are able to cultivate a sense of joy and fulfillment that extends far beyond the finished product. It is through this practice of mindfulness and creativity that we are able to nourish our souls and find true happiness in the simple act of creating something beautiful with our own two hands.
