I love to sew as it is one of the oldest of the textile arts
Indeed, and a very useful skill to have that could save money.
Textile art is very interesting as they use diversified things like plant, animal, or synthetic fibers to construct practical or decorative objects.

We have something like  Tyrian purple dye. And it was an  important trade good in the ancient Mediterranean.
