I have no light perception at all and my love before I went blind was  
sewing.  Welll let me tell you it took a lot of determination, but I  started 
back on my sewing machine about a year after my lights went to  black.  I sew 
by machine and do quilts.  I hand quilt by touch and I  have sewn overalls 
and little t shirts for my Grand daughters.  I use  freezer paper and my mom 
will trace out my patterns on the freezer paper for me  and then cut out the 
paper pattern, but from there I lie out the patterns, cut  the material and 
sew those clohs for the kids.  Right down to making  buttonholes, sewing 
the buttons on and putting those snaps in the crotch.  
 
I have used rotery cutters towith tools I have found to help me cut  
straight lines and love to do strip quiltting.  So don't think you have to  give 
up sewing.
