Sydney sewer meet up

We had lots of familiar sewing bloggers meet together on Saturday. I think fabric shopping was like background entertainment for us because it was so much fun meeting and chatting too everyone in real life.

While we got a helpful discount from Tessutis, I weakened with The Fabric Store's 50% off sale.

So while I don't need more fabric, I weakened and purchased some silk pieces.

And Gabrielle was able to make it this time. I've been wanting to meet Gabrielle since Made-Me-May 2012.

Lena Merrin was there and gave us her industry-based fabric buying advice. Did anyone notice Lena's skirt? Yana has been making some great maternity wear, as you can plainly see. All the best Yana!

So silks were on my shopping list, especially for the price. Did I mention that I'm easily swayed by a bargain.

Thanks to Kristy for arranging our meet up. I like Kristy's idea of having the next meet up at a cafe because I had no 'beans left in the can' by the time it was time to go for drinks. Keep and eye on her blog for the next meet up.

I missed seeing Kristy, Jodie and Anne:((

BTW: Here's an interesting fact. The Fabric Store has just ordered in rolls of the jungle print I was wearing. Now I bought this fabric at Pitt Trading (a Charlie Brown remnant) early last year. You know, that remnant bin with my name on it - LOL. So if you like this print, keep an eye out for it next time you're in the store.
Small world!
