Episode 48—National Sewing Month and Fall Sewing Plans

September is National Sewing Month! Let's enjoy this month dedicated to our favorite hobby. Are you starting to feel inspired to sew by the change in seasons? We've had some cooler weather here in Montana and I am itching to get out my sweater knits and French terry fabrics. Let's talk about goals for the upcoming sewing season—bags, coats, quilts!—all the sewing!
