Harrogate, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2015 -- Sewing appears be an increasingly popular recreation, following on from the popularity of TV programme The Great British Sewing Bee and a number of craft fairs across the country over the Summer. Even some famous figures are coming forward to explain their love of the craft. For example, in a recent interview in prominent daily newspaper, Jamie Oliver outlined his love for sewing – and that he even has a sewing machine.

In the interview, Oliver outlined that his 'nan' has inspired him to take up sewing and implied that it was both therapeutic and useful. Emphasizing tasks such as sewing on buttons, he showed how sewing can be utilised for a variety of purposes.

The practicality of handicraft is something which is receiving increasing attention – especially because home-sewn products can bring a 'retro'-style appeal which many people appreciate today. Furthermore, advantages such as versatility and a range of material to work with makes sewing an activity open to many.
