[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Relearning How To Sew

[Jennifer Okell]

Dear Henry and others, 

In the past (before my stroke) I pretty much did almost everything: from pottery (both on the wheel and molded by hand), painting, drawings, sewing (of course), handwritten letters and birthday cards (the birthday cards had a hand drawn cake on the front of it), amongst other things. But I also think about the things that I haven’t gotten to do: crocheting and knitting (if you could please let me know which is easier for a visually impaired person with a little bit of hand damage), as well as needle point and I am sure that there are many others that I am forgetting (my stroke greatly affected my short term memory and my speech), but I am really trying to work on that.

Thanks Again For Your Reply!!

But here’s my situation: A couple of months ago I had a stroke and as a result my right hand (which also happens to be my dominant hand) was mildly affected by my stroke. So my point is that I need something to do with my hands and even if that means stitching my quilt that I got at my birth (that my Grandma sewed for me) then I will do that. But bottom line is: I love to do things with my hands and I tried today to sign up for the “sewing machine basics” phone class with Ramona, but when I clicked on the class title it said it was full even though in the description part of it said the deadline for accepting people is October 11th (and it was October 8th when you first try to look it up). Anyway, I just thought I would introduce myself.
