Not every event can be as big as Hug Your Cat Day - but this one will be just as fun! 

June 13th, 2020 is

Sewing Machine Day! 

How are we going to celebrate? 

This is the day we celebrate Thomas Saint, who invented the sewing machine in 1790. Interestingly enough, even though he patented it and designed it - there was never any evidence he built an actual working model! A man by the name of William Newton Wilson became the first time to actually take Thoma Saint’s plans and build and actual functional model. 

We also need to take note of the fact that the first American lockstitch sewing machine was invented in 1832 by Walter Hunt. A man by the name of John Greenough patented the first sewing machine in the United States in 1842. 

To earn 2 Million HPD - take this week to look over things that you can make with a sewing machine. Pick out one (HP APPROPRIATE PLEASE) thing that you would absolutely adore to make yourself and share it here. This post will earn you 2 million HPD and it will be open to entries from June 7th, 2020 (A little before, actually. From the time this event was posted) to June 13th, 2020.

I'd love to be able to make a huge quilt out of old band t-shirts!  I always see them on etsy or Pinterest, but would love to make my own 

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!

Prizes for this event have officially been handed out. < 3

I really loved looking over all these projects and I have even added a few to my wishlist.
