Sewing Machine Day

When : June 13th

Sewing Machine Day celebrates a very important invention ----- the sewing machine. The first sewing machines were made in France in the 1830s. It wasn't until 1846, that they were patented in the U.S. What a great invention. Prior to it's creation, clothes items were sewn together by hand...stitch by stitch.


People who know how to use a sewing machine are dwindling in number. Our mothers and grandmothers had a sewing machine in the house. They used it, too. But, look around your house. Do you have a sewing machine? Chance are, the answers is no.


If you have a sewing machine, enjoy today making things with it. If not, consider picking up sewing as a hobby.


Today's Thought Provoking Saying:

"A stitch in time saves nine."

...Saves nine "what"?

Hug your machine,
