Why are we named Sewing is my Super Power?

Many people don’t consider sewing a skill they can possess or would even want to have. If they do consider sewing at all they think it is a skill that belongs in the past.  It is a skill that their grandma might have used but it has no place in the modern world.  It is easy to see why they might think that.  We can go to a box store or an online marketplace and get sewn items for under $10.  A store-bought quilt is just a quick click away.  Why would someone put such time, effort, and expense into a quilt when you could just buy one? 

I believe that sewing isn’t just a skill, it is a superpower.  Once you know how to sew, you can create, elevate, and repair useful things in your life.  You can build your confidence by creating one of a kind things that can formulate your personal style.  We can save so much landfill space by reusing and fixing up sewn items rather than just throwing them away.  Sewing can be used for your personal fashion or your home fashion.  Don’t just buy new.  Sew it yourself.

Imagine getting a compliment for looking cute and you are able to say it is a creation that you made yourself.  You do feel like you have a superpower when you can say you made it.  You get that confidence boost.  You can achieve the right fit, style, and home decor you want because you didn’t have to rely on someone else’s ideas.  You made your vision your reality.  You can show people your creativity and skill.

Sewing can also save you money and become a marketable skill.  You can sew for others for a fee or you can make gifts and items you need.  You develop this superpower through classes and practice.  Then your superpower can turn a profit and fill an economic need.

Sewing’s has mental health benefits.  It can build confidence and inspire creativity.  Sometimes when you can’t make sense of your world, you can make something and feel better.

Of course sewing is a superpower.  It has the ability to create, elevate, make money, save money, and make you feel better.  That sounds like a superpower to me.
