On September 24, 1982, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed September as National Sewing Month. Read the full text of Proclamation #4976 courtesy of the American Presidency Project sponsored by the University of California Santa Barbara. This proclamation was designed to celebrate millions of home sewists for their self-reliance skills and contributions to the US economy.
Ways to celebrate:
1. Treat your sewing machine to a spa day.
2. Indulge in a little retail therapy at your favorite fabric or quilt shop.
3. Learn a new way to do something – install a zipper, make a buttonhole, finish a seam.
4. Organize a sew-in with your sewing besties.
5. Make a handmade item to donate to your favorite charity.
HAPPY SEWING!
