National Sewing Month!!

In case you missed the press release, September is National Sewing Month!  I guess this is a good time to celebrate sewing since summer is over, the kids are back in school, and you have more time to sew (plus you have to start working on your Christmas gifts).

To celebrate national sewing month, I am going to finish a few projects that have been sitting around for awhile.  I have a list of UFOs that keeps getting longer and longer and it’s time to take them more seriously! So in addition to the pattern design I am supposed to be doing, I am also trying to find some time for “fun” sewing.

What are your plans for National Sewing Month?  This is the perfect time to introduce a friend or relative to sewing – we need more converts!  This is also a great time to splurge on that fancy new machine you need (notice I said “need” not “want”).

Also, check out the Moda Country Fair blog hop.  It started yesterday and features projects from some of my favorite designers.  It’s a lot of fun to visit all these blogs and get some new project to eventually put into your UFO pile.
