One of my hobbies is sewing - I make my own clothes!  For many years all sewing was done by hand, but I use a sewing machine!
Is sewing hard to do?

So sewing also entails putting pieces of fabric together to make a article of clothing too. 
Yes, that is what sewing is!  And it is one of the oldest of the textile arts
