The month of September is National Sewing Month. Many sewing organizations and retailers are having month-long sales and celebrations to mark the occasion.

National Sewing Month is a joint venture between the American Sewing Guild and the Sewing and Craft Alliance. It began in 1982 at the request of the American Home Sewing & Craft Association. At that time President Ronald Regan declared September as National Sewing Month in “recognition of the importance of home sewing to our nation” under Proclamation #4976.

The best way to celebrate this special month is to sew, sew, sew!!
