The weekend went much too fast to be a normal one – I must have been inside the tardis with the hands of the clock spinning twice as quickly as usual!  Sewjourn was marvellous. 

Lucky for me Nikki has written a great summary and provided photos over here.  Surprisingly, we didn’t take many photos – I think that we were too busy sewing, chatting, eating, and um, drinking.  There was even crochet – but by (blogless) Megan, not by me!  I love it!

We had learned a couple of lessons from last year and took the weekend at a (slightly) more relaxed pace this time.  Trips down to the farmer’s market, a wander through the op-shop (successful as always), browsing in the boutique, watching the cockatoos and rosellas, marvelling at the first frost we’ve seen this year, and admiring the fog over the hills.

Turning the pages of various craft books and admiring the brilliance that is Vionnet.  Playing with stretch fabrics and the wonder that is the coverstitch machine.  And unlike last year everyone was in bed before 1.00 am each night. 

And yes, I made loads!  Lots of clothes for me, me, me.  I’ll share them over the next week or so.  Can I get back into the tardis again and go back in time so I have the chance to make some more?

But do you know the best thing?  The opportunity to spend time with this diverse group of clever, funny, caring, talented, generous and inspirational women.  Thanks to all of you, and huge thanks to Jan for making her dream of the perfect craft retreat into Sewjourn.

(and thanks for the group photo Nikki!)
