National Sewing Month 2023
It's the 10th anniversary of our National Sewing Month celebration! Discover exclusive, and free sewing patterns, projects, tips, giveaways, and more!

It's no secret that we love all things sewing and fabric here. That's why we can't wait until September every year for our National Sewing Month celebration. This year is particularly special because it marks our 10th year anniversary!
In honor of a decade's worth of fabulous content, we thought the most fitting way to observe a month that's sewing-centric is to share the top posts over the years.
Don't miss National Sewing Month 2023 as we celebrate 10 years. If this is your first time celebrating, you've missed a few years, or simply want to see what made the cut, we hope you enjoy everything.
By the way, we're not only sharing the same old pages from years ago. We've improved every page with the latest information, new projects, helpful additional information, images, and much more.
Even if you recognize a page, there will most likely be something you've never seen before now.
Want to see what else we've shared throughout the years? Visit our National Sewing Month tag page to see it all. Plus, scroll down for our fabulous prizes, live classes, and a lot more can't-miss features.
