Sewing, knitting relaxes Julia Roberts

Actress Julia Roberts has revealed she loves to sew and knit when she wants some quiet time to herself away from her family.

The Eat, Pray, Love star, who has five-year old twins Hazel and Phinneaus and three year-old Henry with husband Danny Moder, has created a craft room in her house where she retreats to when she wants her bliss of solitude, reports patchworkmagazines.co.uk.

"There's one little room in my house which is filled with all my clutter and bits and pieces. My sewing machine is up there, and all my knitting stuff. It's a place where I can go to relax and unwind. I don't get to spend a lot of time up there, but at least I know it's there," she said.
