In Sewing News Today

Today marks National Little Black Dress Day.  I didn't throw on a LBD but I just want to mark the occasion because it has a deeper meaning behind it other than a fashionable history.  National Little Black Dress day is about raising "awareness of the importance of having a healthy heart and taking essential measures to maintain cardiovascular health."  And this has a connection with sewing.  Sewing is good for a maintaining a healthy heart.  

I can't say that my main motivation for sewing is my heart health but it nice to know that this is yet another benefit associated with a hobby that I enjoy.  

I've sewn many black dresses over the years, some were gifted and some were for myself. Only the black turtleneck has survived the years of weight gain and loss.  Sadly, I shrank it and the length is shorter than I want.  Maybe it might be time to sew another LBD?  

Today also marks National Sewing Month.  I can't find any mention of any specific theme for 2025 which is different from previous years.  No worries, there are many reasons to celebrate our sewing journeys, right?  Whatever reason you chose to celebrate sewing activities, I hope it is a productive and joyful time well spent.  

Stand strong, elbows up and keep sewing.
