Is Sewing Allowed on Chol HaMoed?

Halachic Considerations Regarding Sewing on Chol HaMoed

AA

Question

Dear Rabbi, is it permitted to sew on Chol HaMoed? (either for repairing or making a new garment) Thank you very much.

Answer

Peace and blessings,

It is forbidden to sew a new garment. It is permitted to repair a garment that is needed for the festival and which one cannot wear otherwise, provided that the sewing is done in an unskilled manner.

With blessings,

Binyamin Shmueli
