Crafting as Therapy: Finding Peace in the Process

When I first sat down at the sewing machine, I thought I was simply helping my daughter learn a new skill. Little did I know, the process would become therapy for me. There’s a unique calm in the steady hum of the machine, the softness of fabric under your hands, and the joy of watching something beautiful take shape.

Crafting has a way of grounding me. It pulls me away from the digital world and immerses me in something tangible—a kind of break that reading or writing just can’t provide. It gives me space to pray, reflect, and learn in a hands-on way. Even better, it allows my mind to relax while still serving a purpose—creating something special to bring rest, hope, and comfort to someone else.
