September 1st marks the exciting first day of sewing season, coinciding with National Sewing Month. This annual celebration, proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1982, honors the art of sewing, encouraging enthusiasts to dive back into their creative pursuits.
As the weather begins to cool, many sewists eagerly prepare their machines and gather supplies for new projects. From cozy quilts to stylish garments, the possibilities are endless. This year, Threads Magazine kicks off the month with a "Sew September" initiative, unveiling a new sewing project each day, ranging from embroidered bath linens to fabric baskets and holiday napkins.
The first day is not just about starting new projects; it’s a time for community, creativity, and inspiration. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or a beginner, the first day of sewing season invites you to explore your passion, learn new techniques, and share your creations with others. So grab your fabrics and tools, and let the sewing season begin!
