Question
Is it permissible to sew on Rosh Chodesh?
Answer
On Rosh Chodesh, women traditionally refrain from work, and the custom specifically applies to laundry and sewing. If they do not have such a custom, they may choose to engage in one of these activities. If sewing is necessary for livelihood, it is permitted. Therefore, if needed, one can go to a seamstress for whom this is a source of income, and then it is allowed. Additionally, any woman can sew with a modification, similar to the intermediate days of a festival.
