Sewing is a time honored tradition; sewing articles from this Sewing Editor are written with the concept of sewing in a sustainable way. The idea of sustainability is not new; it is a desire to achieve human and ecosystem well-being. The result of our human endeavors should be to provide the best of all possible worlds for all people and the environment both now and into the indefinite future.

Sewing is pervasive to the human condition and will long endure. The very process of sewing provides a view from the bridge from our ancient past to our modern and post-modern times. Sewing clothing and items for our daily use, from times past to present, adds to the very human historical and contemporary narrative of who we once were and are even now. Sewing processes, choices of pattern, design, and textile can and does give insight into a society’s art, beliefs, and institutions.

From out of a once dire necessity for human survival, to the now pragmatic skill capable of engaging the excited beginner, long-time sewer, or crafty artisan, sewing is a mainstay; an easily learned human endeavor that can connect us with our creative desires and infuse our inventive artistic intentions.
