September is National Sewing Month

I learned a couple of days ago that September is National Sewing Month. If my Google-fu did em true, it was started by President Reagan to recognize the importance of home sewing to American culture.

Now, hoe sewing is really part of an anti-Indurial, pro-people, pro-"buy local" sorta theme. It's a huge change in about 30 years.

at least in the USA.

For local and international people, are you recognizing or celebrating International Sewing Month?

I'm making an outfit with fabric from Hart's fabric so I can send them a picture and enter their sewing-machine raffle.
