# [Celebrate National Sewing Month!](https://blog.shannonfabrics.com/blog/2013/09/13/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.
