2012 National Sewing Month Sew for the FUN of It! Contest
What do you consider a fun sewing project? Is it a new party outfit, a bed for your dog, or a wild & crazy shower curtain? This year, NationalSewingMonth.org is sponsoring a contest. No categories, no limitation - sew what YOU consider fun. Check out all the rules and guidelines here.
The observance of National Sewing Month began in 1982 with a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan declaring September as National Sewing Month "in recognition of the importance of home sewing to our Nation."
