Did I step into the tardis?
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!)
Lara, you are absolutely spot on. We have lucked in such a diverse group of talents. …and I for one needed the slightly slower pace this year
Sounds like you had a great weekend Lara.
I wish the time had slowed instead of speeding past us so fast. The company was perfect.
xx
It looks as thought you had a great weekend.
Well, I think that should be compulsory at least once a year!
Wow! Sounds (and looks) like a brilliant weekend!
The view, the company and a coverstitch machine? It sounds just perfect!
It was just so much fun and perfect company x
Oh you lucky things. Was thinking of you all throughout the weekend.
I love the shirt you are wearing in the group photo-did you make it?
Wow, sounds like the perfect weekend Lara, well done for making yourself some clothes too!
Love the crochet squares, is there a pattern available to make these ?
Wow – that looks like you girls had way too much fun for one weekend- Great pictures – and look at all that crochet!
Thanks Lara for sharing a great weekend away. Loved every minute, and am still recovering.
I love hearing about others’ sewjourn weekends. My next one is in a couple of weeks … my third this year!
It looks like a fabulous weekend. Makes me want to get the diary out and count the sleeps till I’ll be there.
Ooh Lara it looks like so much fun! I’m happy you all enjoyed.
