It is a stress reliever but I also love making something out of other things - the finished product is what keeps me coming back to the machine.
It is a hobby I can do with my toddler playing near by, and it is a wonderful way to express my creativity!

I like it because it's creative and relaxing (usually). Thanks for the giveaay!
I'm on the mailing list. Thanks!
Sewing is definitely a stress reliever for me - my job doesn't really make me feel like I accomplish anything (lots of paper-pushing!) so being able to create tangible objects is definitely a plus!!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I can completely lose myself sewing. It is incredibly relaxing. It is also very soul satisfying as I see my creations come to fulfillment.

It makes me feel productive, it gives me an excuse to buy beautiful fabric, and gives me a creative outlet.

As a mom of 4 little ones (ages 5, 3-year-old TWINS, and 1), sewing is VERY much a stress-relieving creative outlet for me. With all the tasks that are very soon "un-done" as a homemaker, it's so rewarding to begin a sewing project, enjoy the process, and have a finished piece at the end that can't be "un-done" :)

Sewing lets me totally unwind and express myself through gorgeous fabrics, fun techniques, and practice my craft! I feel like I'm an artist and my medium is fabric. Thanks for the give away!
I follow on Reader AND your mailing list! Great blog!!
Creativity, stress relief, and hopefully comforting somebody less fortunate than me with the end product.
Sewing puts me right in my "zone". Sometimes I don't even hear the phone ringing in the other room!
I enjoy sewing because it means I constantly have new things! Hehe.

I am sew happy when I sew because it gives me a chance to do something other than school working and thinking about medicine and science.
Sewing makes me happy because it makes me feel productive. Being a stay-at-home mom of two toddlers, whatever I sew (or knit/crochet) is the only thing that stays done in my house. At the end of a day full of cleaning, cooking, and playing, I have nothing concrete to show for my time except for what I manage to create.
I'm on the mailing list!
I love the process. Creating something is stress releaving
Sewing is a lifestyle for me - I feel like I have wasted time if I don't sew every day!
I receive you newsletter.
For me sewing is a great stress reliever. Not much beats working away the morning in your sewing room with a warm cuppa at your side. :)
Sewing to me is one of those things that is my daily therapy. Something is dreadfully wrong with my day if I don't get any sewing in. Even if it's only 20-30 minutes...I can get lots of things done in that amount of time...cut strips, plan a block, piece a strippy mug rug...you get the idea!
Sewing is needful for me!
The happy look on my grandkids faces is enough to make me happy!
I love to sew because it reminds me of watching my mom sew me and my sister's things when I was younger.
I am on the mailing list.
I just love seeing all the parts come together when I sew. And I love the joy of giving the finished product to a friend or family member. Sewing is a hobby, a lifestyle AND a stress reliever.
I'm on the mailing list. Thanks for the beauty and inspiration your emails bring with their lovely fabric collection photos.
Sewing lets me be creative, use beautiful fabrics and fun tools, and have something I can pass off as practical when I'm finished. It's a win-win situation. :-)

Sewing is a very relaxing thing do do and also keeps restless hands busy when watching TV (don't like to waste my time just sitting). I love the sense of achievement when something is finished too.
Sewing soothes me. I love it!

Hi, I'm on your mailing list, too. As for sewing, well, it's a great diversion during the cooler months when I can't garden. I'm still learning, but having a great time.
I love sewing because it provides a creative outlet and reduces stress. Except when it causes stress relieved by my seam ripper.
I find sewing relaxing, but more than that, I revel in the sense of accomplishment I feel when completing a project.
When I sew I feel creative. I have a sense of accomplishment when I finish a project. I can't write, or draw, or paint, but I can sew!!!

I sew because it does make me "sew" happy! I love seeing my accomplishments, and then that feeling that you are done! I also have 3 autistic children and this helps me relax and try to distress from the day!
I mostly sew to make gifts for others... love knowing that what I am giving is handmade and one-of-a-kind.

I love to sew because I can be creative and I can "lose myself" in it. So I would say it is sort of a mental break for me. Plus, I love using or giving away something that I made!

I am sew happy to be a stalker!
I posted on Facebook! Come one come all!
Sewing makes me happy because it is a creative outlet and also to relieve frustrations when I am really stressed, sewing allows me to do something that makes me happy!
Sewing is a hobby for me but I admire so many women (and men) that turn it into something more than that. I wish I had more time to do it!
I tweeted @heidiabc
I also receive your newsletter - many thanks!
Sewing is my "me" time. After I get my two girls to sleep, and hubby is occupied with his own pursuits, I can sit quietly in my sewing room with a cup of tea and not be bothered for an hour
I just like making things. And since I have little kids at home, it's fun to have something to do besides pick up their toys!
My husban calls it my sewing therapy. I love taking a pile of materials and making something amazing!
Sewing is a new found love. Its a stress relief and I love the sense of accomplishment when I finish a project.

Sewing makes me sew happy because it's fun, it's creative, it's relaxing, and it's a healthy addiction. :) It also makes unique gifts which are very much treasured especially by loved ones.

It makes me "sew" happy because I get to make something beautiful. I can't draw, paint, etc. but with sewing and needlework I can create a masterpiece :)
There are three things that make me "SEW" happy:
1. My daughter's smile and giggle.
2. Running
3. Buying fabric!

I get the "urge" to sew when it's been too long! It's definitely a stress reliever!
I sew for business and pleasure, but more for pleasure lately and I want to do charity quilts too. I find it relaxing and I love to create new things.

I love to sew because it is my new way to be frugal...saving the green (money) and being green (the earth) in the process. Great way to make unique gifts as well! I love to create

Sewing is one of my main hobbies. It is something I can do at home almost any time of the day and it is a great stress reliever!
Sewing makes me sew happy because it is a stress relieving hobby that I wish would become a lifestyle.
I'm a quilter and it makes me happy because it combines a desire to be artistic with an opportunity to be generous. I create something, a process that makes me happy, and give it to someone else, which makes them happy. I often wonder if my grandmother felt the same way--in a very practical life, being creative was okay because it was useful and beneficial.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Even just the beauty of the fabrics themselves, their color and design, excite my creative juices and get me ready to jump in to a project! Sewn pieces can be fine art and fine craftwork at the same time.
Quilting, though I'm new at it, is my therapy after going through a pretty awful and continuing health scare. I love the distraction it provides ... I really need to concentrate on it ... and it gives me endless images to dream about. And, most importantly, I feel I'm leaving a legacy for my family and friends ... just in case ...

For me, sewing is a hobby, but it makes me "sew" happy because I get to give handmade gifts. Handmade gifts just seem so much more thought out and special. I love trying to learn to make new things. I made receiving blankets as a staple for such a long time before I found so many fabulous tutorials online and started trying to sew new things!

Sewing is all of the above and more. You can express your creativity be productive, while away the hours peacefully (except for when the seam ripper makes an appearance) banish burdens, forget the world and enjoy.
Its all of the above! I couldnt live without it now :-)
I get the newsletter too :-)
it's definitely relaxing and I love to be creative, make things and make people happy when they get them!
I can get very frustrated when I sew so I wouldn't call it relaxing. But I have such a sense of satisfaction when I look at what I've finally created that I keep coming back! I guess it's a creative outlet and a way to express myself.

It's my artistic outlet and personal fun after taking care of my 2 kiddos all day. :)
It is a great way to relieve stress. I get so caught up in what I am making, that I forget all the little things that don't really matter in the end =)
I love being able to say "I made it" when someone asks and the compliments are always nice. Sewing is definitely a stress reliever for me, with twin 2 year old toddlers and one more on the way, I need all the relief I can get!

The results of my job tend to be intangible--it's so nice to sit down to a project with a tangible result!
It makes me sew happy to see the finished product and to give it to someone who will love it!
Why does sewing make me happy? All of the above!! It is a hobby, a stress-reliever, and something unique in my age group. I also love the sense of accomplishment with big OR little projects.
I am new to the sewing world, but am so drawn to your delicious fabrics. I am going to sew my toddler a quilt. Your patterns take me back to my childhood.
Sewing is a hobby that I use for creative outlet and I love to produce beautiful things :)

Sewing is an amazing stress reliever. Most importantly sometimes being a stay at home mom I miss the gratification of completing something tangible.

Sewing is a satisfyingly tactile experience. My hands can get right in there and I can create things internally, verbally, but have have them manifest physically before my eyes. I never use patterns, rather have a rough idea and allow my method and execution to change and I go. It's a chance to allow the material to let me know what it wants to do and I facilitate. It feels mutually beneficial.
Plus I get bragging rights... when someone comments on one of my creations, I can proudly and geekily respond with the words, "Thanks. I made it!"
Oh, I'm on the mailing list too!
All of the above and JOY!!! is the result.
Sewing makes me happy because it is a wonderful stress reliever, while allowing me to be productive at the same time. The majority of my sewing is done as gifts for others.

It's a feeling of helping others who may be less fortunate than I am. I stitch for World of Charity Stitching and make quilts for them combined with cross stitch. I love seeing the smiling faces of the lovely people in the nursing home! I know I've accomplished something wonderful!
