This is National Sewing Month, so the push is on to teach someone how to sew, OR learn how to sew yourself, if you haven't already learned how to sew.

I'm very lucky to have had a mother and grandmother who knew how to sew (my grandmother was into quilts and my mother made all of the clothes my sister and I wore, in addition to shirts for my brothers).  I learned how to sew at a very young age and have enjoyed all the aspects of sewing, quilting, crafting and anything to do with fabrics.

From what I've read, it appears that used sewing machines are a hot commodity now as people have literally no money for the nice new machines, but do want to learn how to sew, if for no other reason than to fix and repair their current clothing garments.  Then once they've gotten hold of a sewing machine, the "want to sew" goes way beyond just simple mending jobs.

We can also tell, from the sales of our Learn How To Sew book, and the companion book, Basic Clothing Construction, there are indeed many many people wanting to learn how to sew.

                                                        
















If you don't already know how to sew, consider these basic sewing books so you can also be able to save money by sewing and repairing your own clothes and those for your family.

If you DO know how to sew, consider teaching someone else how to sew.  They will be forever grateful that you took a little time to help them, just as I am with my mother and grandmother.
