Yes! It’s that time of year again! This year’s focus is
going to be a fun one:
“Sew for the experience of it!”
I love the Sewing
& Craft Alliance, in partnership with the American Sewing Guild, selected
this theme! For more information about the origin of National Sewing Month, and
its past celebrations, check out their website, National Sewing Month!
I haven’t a clue why, but when I saw their theme, my favorite
childhood storybook came to mind. I guess because when Momma read it to me
(over and over – at my request – until I could read it myself), it would fill
me with all kinds of hope with all the possibilities of doing anything I wanted
to do, if I worked hard at it!
At one time or another, I hope you’ve had the pleasure of
reading the children’s book, The Little Engine That Could, by Watty Piper. It is a treasure!
Anyway, this month I will focus on sharing challenges for us
to experience, to get us outside our comfort zone. I’m always looking for new
techniques, methods, and projects to do that are different from my usual course
of everyday sewing!
Like doing appliqué….
Like paper piecing…
Like working with mixed media…
Like… ???
I hope you will explore with me, the wonderful world of
sewing – just for the experience of it!
