that I had another great
sewjourn experience.
Despite the fact that it took Annie and I four hours to make a one and a half hour journey, we arrived and got straight into it. (We popped in to
Drapers of Mt. Macedon on the way and I have to say this may very well be my new favourite patchwork shop)
I made a cushion for a friends baby
and then completely stuffed up the next one...
yep , somehow the lining ended up on the outside...
ooops but I unpicked and reorganised and moved on.
and the weekend passed with lots of laughter - lots of swearing (from me as I attempted actual garments) and a wonderful sense of
camaraderie between friends as the conversations ebbed and flowed over our craft and our families , our lives and which male persons we would hire as stable hands when we built our
craftopia (and yes it was me wanting the stables and I decided if I had enough horses I could employ both
Viggo Mortensen and Johnny
Depp to help me.)
We visited the local shops and the Farmers market where I went a bit produce crazy and came home with jams and preserves and bread and sweets. I spent a crazy amount of time patting dogs and chatting to chickens, listening to buskers and generally just easing along.
I op-shopped, and book shopped and slowed down and hung out and (apart from swearing at clothes) had a great time.
and now with my new-found garment sewing skills I'm off to measure up Johnny and
Viggo for some tight-
fitting jodhpurs - I mean it's a bugger of a job but tight fitting
jodhpurs are an Occupational health and Safety requirement!
