Celebrate National Sewing Month

NationalSewingMonth_2015

Here we are again, September is National Sewing Month, and we’re ready to salute the art of sewing all month long! Want to join in on the fun? Here are a few ways to ignite your creativity for a September full of new sewing projects.

1. GIVE A HANDMADE GIFT

You don’t need a special occasion to make something meaningful for someone you love. Whether it’s a simple zippered bag or a customized totebag, a personalized gift means the most when it comes from you.

2. PLAN A CHARITY SEWING PROJECT

Share your sewing with those in need this month. Need a few ideas? Consider local charitable organizations who need sewing help, join a community centre sew-along project for goodwill, or gather your sewing friends to help out a local non-profit.

3. LEARN SOMETHING NEW – for FREE!

Check out one of the many free mini-classes from Craftsy’s crafting community while surfing the Web or let it run in the background while cooking or doing chores. Or, loan out a variety of great sewing books from your local library which you can read on the go or when you have a quiet moment to relax!

4. TREAT YOUR EQUIPMENT WELL

Make your sewing supplies last longer and work better with a good deep clean! Find out how to clean your ironsewing machine, and while you’re at it, your whole sewing room. By the time you’re done, you’ll be sewing more efficiently and productively.

  1. This is amazing! It can even improve your creativity if you do the bag by yourself. I’m planning to make a bag for my mom this coming Christmas. I know she will love it.
