			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Did you know that September is <a href="http://nationalsewingmonth.org/" target="_blank">National Sewing Month</a>? No? Neither did I until I saw it mentioned over at <a href="http://www.lazygirldesigns.com" target="_blank">Lazy Girl Designs</a>.  I already had <a href="http://www.gettingcrafty.com/trick-or-treat-smell-my-feet/" target="_blank">plans</a> to do quite a bit of sewing in the next month or so, but now I have yet another reason &#8211; the <a href="http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/blog/?p=1343" target="_blank">Make 2 Give 2 Challenge</a>.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="max-width: 300px;" src="http://www.gettingcrafty.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/make2give2logo-lg.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<blockquote><p><strong>The Challenge: Make2/Give2</strong><br />
- Make two ‘With Love Totes’ (free pattern from Lazy Girl Designs), wrap them like the gifts that they are, and give them to one non-sewing (or new-sewing) friend.<br />
- One tote is for your friend to keep, one is for your friend to give to a friend. By doing so, your friend will experience for themselves the sewy-good feeling of this kind act and perhaps give sewing a try.</p></blockquote>
<p>For the rest of the details and the free tote pattern, go visit the <a href="http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/blog/?p=1343" target="_blank">Lazy Girl Designs Blog</a>. I&#8217;m hoping to participate if I can get my Halloween project finished up in time.  I just have to figure out who to send the totes to!</p>
