Celebrate National Sewing Month!

Did you know that September is National Sewing Month? The observance of National Sewing Month began in 1982 with a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan declaring September as National Sewing Month! To help celebrate, we thought we'd share a bit about what's happening for the month, as well as a few sewing sites and sources.

Here they are (in no particular order):

National Sewing Month- Official home of National Sewing Month, co-sponsored by the Sewing & Craft Alliance and the American Sewing Guild.
Sewing & Craft Alliance - Free sewing, quilting and craft projects, learn to sew articles and more.
American Sewing Guild-"The American Sewing Guild is a national non-profit organization dedicated to people who believe sewing is a rewarding and creative activity."
Here's a great article from Threads Magazine about National Sewing Month. Click here.
Heather at The Sewing Loft is blogging about sewing tools, tips and projects all month long. Link here.
Sew Mama Sew features tutorials, projects, sew-alongs, pattern reviews and more.
Craftsy offers classes, patterns and inspiration.
HowToSew offers sewing patterns and tips-- especially for beginners.
SewCanShe provides free daily sewing tutorials.
Sew News Sewing Blog offers tutorials, projects and tips.
Stitch Magazine features sewing patterns, projects and techniques.

I'm sure there are some that I am forgetting (I apologize in advance), so please share your own links about sewing sources and National Sewing Month below.

Happy Sewing!
