September is…
(copied from http://www.nationalsewingmonth.org/html/media.html)
On September 21, 1982, at the request of the American Home Sewing & Craft Association, an industry
and trade association supporting the sewing and craft industries, President Ronald Reagan, under
Proclamation #4976, declared September as National Sewing Month “In recognition of the importance ofhome sewing to our Nation.”
Subsequent Proclamations naming September as National Sewing Month were issued by President
Reagan in 1983 (#5106), 1984 (#5233), 1985 (#5368) and again in 1988 (#5867). The Proclamations
state that “Tens of millions of Americans sew at home. Their effortsdemonstrate the industry, the skill and the self-reliance which are so characteristic of this Nation.” Full documentation of the Proclamations can be found on the American Presidency Project website at
