This month every year, we officially celebrate the art of sewing. Something that many of us enjoy all year round.
Sewing was once a necessary chore, but these days many do it purely for pleasure.
We have President Ronald Reagan to thank for making this declaration for September each year.
“In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our Nation.”
President Reagan, 1982
