Sewing Directory Meet Up

Last weekend I had an afternoon out sewing. It was great sewing and meeting new people. I met some lovely people who I hope I will keep in touch with. It's given me new inspiration about sewing and blogging for the future.

I found out about the sewing directory meet up in December and I can't believe March came around so quickly. Kerry from VeryKerryBerry was instructing on English Paper Piecing - something I had never tried. Kerry brought her Sizzix Big Shot for making the hexies and for us to have a go on. I have to say it does make quick work of making your shapes and of course they all come out the same size easy to match up.

So after a demo on the big shot and a little bag of hexies off we went. the afternoon flew by and I was really pleased with my results, just don't look too close at my stitches.  

Looking around the room everyone had such great sewing kits. It's given me some great ideas of some makes I would like to do.

It was great to meet Fiona from The Sewing Directory and also Kath from SewLaLa who was selling some lovely fabric

I had to stock up on some fat quarters and other goodies.

Now got to decide what to make.

Well it was good to meet other makers in the area and hopefully this won't be the last time. I've discovered some new bloggers and have a new bug for patchwork and sewing by hand. watch this space.

Thanks to Fiona and Kerry for great afternoon xx
