National Sewing Month in September


Since 1982, National Sewing Month was made into a national monthly observance in September. President Ronald Reagan recognized the importance of sewing at home. Sewing is a fun craft to do at home and it is a relaxing hobby that can be done at home. Sewing by hand helps you with your eye coordination and to build more creativity. The more you sew the more beneficial it is for your brain to develop new skills.  Also, you do not need a big budget to create beautiful sewn crafts and after sewing, you feel accomplished.

Here is the tutorial for making this blue denim pouch. This pouch can be used to put your eyeglasses, sunglasses, or other items. Sewing pouches is an easy sewing project as a beginner sewing project. Below are more links for celebrating National Sewing Month. Also, for more sewing projects, please check out my sewing projects in the tutorials section of the blog. 

Materials:
Thread
Needle
Blue Denim from an old pair of  jeans
Scissors



Cut one pair of old blue denim jeans. Use one section of the pant leg and use that material to create a small pouch. After that insert thread into a needle and sew one side of the pant leg fabric. Continue sewing the blue jean fabric on all three sides. Fold the top part of the denim and sew the folded area. Leave one opening on the fabric. After you are done sewing, unfold the denim pouch. Here are more resources about National Sewing Month in September. Have a safe Labor Day weekend!
