National Sewing Month 2021 Celebration

September 2021 means National Sewing Month! AllFreeSewing continued with our annual celebration that included all sorts of new projects, tutorials, guides, videos, and giveaways.

This celebration is our favorite of the year because we always try to offer sewing projects and references for all skill levels. We even have a few exciting no-sew projects for those who aren’t quite ready to start sewing but want to work with fabric.

To see everything shared, visit our National Sewing Month 2020 hub page.

GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY

Please note that this giveaway is now closed.

We had the most amazing grand prize giveaway ever: a Mega Handi Quilter HQ Stitch 710 Machine Giveaway, valued at $3,495.00! Read the review here.
