Now DIY is very popular all over the world. People like to make something new for their houses or just for fun. In China,sewing(缝制)was a traditional skill for most women in the past. They sewed for their parents,husbands and children. I always think that sewing is such a wonderful art form. My grandma is a gentle old lady. She is good at sewing. She made all my childhood clothes with her skillful hands.
As a baby girl,I didn't like playing outside with my friends. Instead,I liked to stay with my grandma to help her sew. I really enjoyed getting the thread through the eye of a needle(针). I tried to make something,but I couldn't do it very well.
Later,instead of sewing clothes,my grandmother would sew other things for me. The love from her needle and thread always warms me.
Grandma helped me fall in love with sewing,and taught me how to show love and care. Almost a year ago,I thought about finding a birthday present for my friend. Then I decided to make her a pencil case. The final result wasn't as pretty as I imagined,but it was the best pencil case I could make. I sent it to my friend and wished her a happy birthday.
Just yesterday,she called me and said,"Every time I see the pencil case,I think of you and get a warm feeling." Sewing can also show our love and care.
