Happy Sewing Machine Day!
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, Bunny |
nine more stitches in the future when mending

Thank you for the information.
Happy Sewing Machine Day Everyone. I'll go home tonight and give all my sewing machines a pat and an "atta girl"! |
If only I'd known I would have let her sleep a little later. My sewing machine and I had a date this morning at 5:30 AM before I went to work. Sewed the side borders on my quilt.
I can't imagine life without a sewing machine. Thanks for letting us know! |
I have several machines but am hoping to get my treadle up and running one of these days. then I can sew when there is no electricity :)
|
Thanks for that bit of great to know trivia!
|
I will have to go to my sewing nook and say Happy Birthday to my girls.
|
I will have to remind everyone at my class it is sewing machine day. Maybe we should sing happy birthday to our machines? :)
