September is National Sewing month! Are you celebrating??? I know, I know, we celebrate our passion for all things made with needle and thread 365 days a year but it's nice to know that the art and craft of sewing is nationally recognized during the month of September. As the story goes, Ronald Reagan made the declaration in 1982. Thanks to the Sewing and Craft Alliance and the American Sewing Guild, sewing has been put in the spotlight for the whole month of September. You can read the full history HERE.
To help you celebrate your own priceless sewing skills in September, I've compiled a short list of projects with a sewing theme that are archived on the official Brother blog. Click on the links below to view each one. Some of these include links to free embroidery designs. I'm hoping that one or more spark your interest and help you revel in the joy of sewing as we celebrate today and every day.
The National Sewing Month site has sewing information you may want to take a look at too! Click on the image for more info.
I like to consider myself a Sewing Cheerleader! There are many life changing benefits that make us all glad we know how to sew. Personally, I could make a very long list. When I first learned to sew it was just the sheer thrill of making something from scratch. Before I took sewing in "Home Ec" I had never really experienced the joy of "building" something from start to finish with my own two hands. Then I got hooked on the idea that I could customize everything I made and put my own stamp on it. Making gifts for others has also been a rewarding experience that's produced many happy memories. And yes, over the years I've saved a lot of money sewing and had a ton of fun making all kinds of items that are so much better than store bought!
