September is National Sewing Month

Did you know that this is National Sewing month. Did you also know that in 1988 President Ronald Regan made it a Proclamation . I think that says a lot that he thought it was important enough to give sewing recognition.

So as stated in President Regan's proclamation.....

Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 1988 as National Sewing Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

I think some good ways to fulfill this would be a good shopping trip for that fabric you've been wanting or new sewing machine or sewing gadget. Maybe set aside a day sometime this month just to sew something fun or to finish up a WIP or UFO. If your sewing machine is setting in a closet dig it out and have fun! Sew something!

Happy Stitching Everyone!
