- 1n/ˈsoʊɪŋ/ · /ˈsəʊɪŋ/making clothes with needle and thread縫紉
The activity or skill of making or clothes, or cloth, using a needle and thread.
「sewing」是「用針線做事」這件活動或這項技能，包含做衣服、補衣服、在布上繡花。它是不可數名詞，所以說 I like sewing，不說 a sewing 或 sewings。動詞是 sew（唸起來像 so，不是 sue）。
示範例句 · Example
My grandmother learned sewing when she was eleven.
中文翻譯我的祖母在她十一歲的時候學了縫紉。

- 2n/ˈsoʊɪŋ/ · /ˈsəʊɪŋ/the cloth being sewn手上的針線活
The piece of cloth you are working on with a needle and thread — the actual thing in your hands.
這裡的 sewing 不是活動，而是「你正在縫的那塊東西」——可以拿起來、可以放下的實物。所以會說 pick up her sewing（把手上的針線活拿起來）。前面幾乎一定有 my / her / his 這類字，指出是誰手上的那一件。
