For two wonderful days I laughed long and hard, ate wonderful food, exchanged recipes, traced patterns, sewed myself clothes, soaked up creative inspiration, visited my favorite bookshop, received an excellent massage and slept soundly.
So here I am, relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated. Thankful that I had such wonderful companions to share my weekend with. Grateful to my family for enabling me to enjoy a break from the usual routine of life, and then welcoming me back upon my return. Enjoying my new wardrobe additions- all made from Japanese books, none designed as maternity wear, but all very accommodating of my current condition. (I have to say with minimal or no alterations thanks to loose and generously sized patterns). There are more details about the projects on my sewing circle or flickr.
Awww, you have the same sewing machine my mother had when I was growing up :)
