This Is Sewing Machine Day!

Today, we celebrate the sewing machine, a very important invention. The first sewing machines were made in France in the 1830s. It wasn't until 1846, that they were patented in the U.S. Before it's creation, clothes items were sewn together by hand...stitch by stitch.

Now a days, people who know how to use a sewing machine are few and far between. Our mothers and grandmothers had a sewing machine in the house. They used it, too, a lot! But, look around your house. Do you have a sewing machine? Chances are, the answers is no.

If you do have a sewing machine, enjoy today making things with it. If not, consider picking up sewing as a hobby.

Now Let's P-A-R-T-Y!
