A craft is an activity where objects are formed by had. Sewing is the act of joining, fastening, or repairing a piece of fabric with a needle, thread, or sewing machine. Normally, sewing is broken up into hand and machine sewing. While the two processes differ substantially, the end product of the two methods is the same.
