It’s easy to get carried away when you’re busy sewing, but your back won’t thank you for it! it’s important to take regular breaks and stretch out tense muscles.
Here’s a quick and easy stretching routine for sewists. I suggest stretching every hour and after every sewing session.
Stretch slowly and carefully. You’re looking for a gentle pulling or stretching sensation in your muscles.
Once you feel the muscles pulling, wait in that position for 10 seconds. Then slowly release the stretch.
Repeat each stretch 3 times.
