Just a quick reminder that 2013 social sewing will be kicking off in two short weeks time! The first date for this year is Saturday the 19th of January! I hope to see you there!!
In case you don't know what social sewing is, you can get all the information here. But in short, it's our (very informal) sewing group that gets together about once a month for stitching and chatting. If you're in Melbourne you're more than welcome to join us!
Also, at the Jan Social Sewing we're going to have a little swap. A few of us have done a bit of a New Years clean out and have some stuff that needs a new home, so if you have anything you don't want anymore that you think somebody else might be able to use instead (patterns, fabric, notions etc) then please bring it along! We shall do a swap near the middle of the day, maybe just after lunch.
Also, the lovely Kat is organising a fabric shopping trip of titans ("Social Sewing Goes on the Road") on Saturday the 9th of February. If you're around in Melbourne (or can get to Melbourne) it's looking to be a fabulous day! Check out all the details here over on her blog.
PS: I'm absolutely thrilled at the response for the Hollyburn Sew-along! I'm very excited that so many of you are joining in! Stay tuned for more posts from Monday.
Yay! Having missed novembers, I'm champing at the bit for another social sewing. And my pile of patterns has been increased with some fabric I need to get rid of. All in the name of getting down to 50m by 2013 end. I hope this isn't cheating :P
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's cheating, especially if it goes to another loving home
DeleteHi Rachel, I'd love to try and get to one of these days. Do you need people to "rsvp", or is it okay to "just turn up"?
ReplyDeleteCheers, Lisa S
Letting me know is good so I have a vague idea of how many people are turning up, but mostly just turn up :)
DeleteThis is a great idea. I'm in for the 19th (which is my birthday so I'm totally going to spend the day doing what I please X). Count me in! Will you be sending out a reminder/ updates on numbers times etc closer to the date or will it all be on the blog/ twitter?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you there! I probably won't be sending out a reminder, the details about times are all on the social sewing page: http://mymessings.blogspot.com.au/p/social-sewing.html it's all quite informal just rock up whenever you want while the shop is open.
DeleteWell considering that's the day after my baby's estimated due date, it is highly unlikely I will be at this sew meet :(
ReplyDeleteBut I'll be keeping an eye on your blog for the next one and with any luck I can get away for a day and sew with you guys! :)
we'll forgive you I suppose! Hope to see you another time, and good luck with all the baby stuff! So soon!
DeleteBummer I am up in Brissie - I am sure you guys will have loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing everyone there!
