Happy National Sewing Machine Day!



How to Celebrate?  
  1. Treat your machine to some tender loving care.  Maybe your sewing machine has some lint that could use some clearing?  
  2. Spend some time sewing.  
  3. Admire the quality of those vintage machines.  They've stood the test of time.  
  4. Read about the history of the sewing machine.  
  5. Watch the Sewing Machine Orchestra show.    
Happy Sewing!
