Inspiration

3 hours drive. One way. Crazy?

Probably according to some people.

Last week I packed my car with my sewing machine, overlocker, loads of fabric, patterns and drove south to spend four days together with like-minded people. Four days of sewing and eating, sewing and eating. And lots of laughter. It’s great for inspiration and everyone is so helpful – techniques, choice of colours or fitting help is available.

Many clothes were sewn during the long weekend.

Since most prefer staying up late and sleeping in, the mornings are calm and quiet. These photos were taken the last morning and show the finished clothes hanging from the ceiling. There were a few non clothing items as well. In the second photo, it is easier to see the machines. There were at least 50 machines in there. No one brought less than two and quite a few had three – sewing, overlocker (serger) and cover lock.

Loads of machines!
