The 2013 Sewing Sleep-over - Pt1

Well that was fun!

Lara & Vicky

Not sure how to put in words just how much fun was had at the
 third Busselton Sewing REtreat/Sleep-over

so I'll let the pictures do most of the talking


and

beware it's going to take

a couple of Posts to share what we got up to.

Lara secretly created crochet love hearts for us all.

On Thursday avo
once we'd disembarked & unpacked from our two-&-a-bit-hour drive south
 
we started slowly

with a bit of hand flipperying, crochet & sock show-&-tell

Judiths

For some reason I didn't take one photo of the  
gluten free vegetarian meals I'd prepared for the 3days
however
I did have the foresight to get shots of our empties....

Friday morning saw us out the door & on the streets of Busselton
in time for the first Oppy on our list to open it's doors

just a little bit excited

we were.

l-r Vicky, Bree, Lara, Judith, Pene, Kate, Jody, Sue

We all managed to find & rescue some op shop bargains & treasure

and isn't it interesting the treasure we're drawn to...

while most would have walked straight past this book

Judith didn't

and now 

we all know Sally Brown's a genius

if you see a copy grab it 

it's hilarious & enlightening at the same time.

It didn't take us long before we were looking for refreshments

before hitting a few more oppies

before heading home

for Brees cake[s]

they were good
they were very very good

in fact they were so good

some enjoyed them with breakfast the next day.

Everyone found their spot at the table 

and their creative mojo very quickly

with a whole lot of

REinventing,

creating from the Sew Outside the Lines™ & other patterns

making our own patterns from favourite garments
happening in a flurry of fabric, scissors & vylene

we also

discovered a whole lot of stuff about each other 

and ourselves

and at the end of it all 

on Sunday morning

we had filled the rack to bursting.

I'll be popping back in over the next few days 

to share what the girls created...

and my rescued Op Shop treasures.
