Me-Made Meetup!

(Just a few of us! Thanks to Suzie for the photo)

Ok so this is an interval in sewalong posts. Yesterday I met some lovely friends old an new, for the me made meetup in Brighton.

We had a fantastic time and did a bit of light fabric retail therapy followed by a fabric swap.

I'm happy to say the fabric I took to swap went to a new home where it was wanted, and the fabric I received in return was fabulous!

Heres my purchases for the first part of the day. All were from Ditto.

This is a firm cotton twill? Its a bit softer but not silky enough to be a sateen. This is going to be a burda Marie Skirt I think.

Some polkadot Jersey. I always love the remnant table and almost never buy their jersey unless its on the table.
The red bamboo jersey was also a remnant. Its normally a tenner a metre so I was pleased to pick this up!
The next lot is a Paul Smith shirting with little S' on!
Now onto the swap stuff. This is a lovely cotton sateen style fabric.

This is a slightly silky jersey, perhaps a slub?

Then there is a cotton jersey in yummy ice cream colours!

Finally I got a floral with a slight needlecord feel and stretch.

You would think that would have been more than enough right? But the day before some lovely quilting cottons came that I ordered from the U.S. about a month ago!

Jeanine Morrison's Atlas in Butter,

The next is Dena Tea garden in Oolong! (love the tea reference and the pink is amazing.)

The final one is a Joel Dewberry Deer in Barnwood. Delicious right? Looks like a 1930s feedsack print.

Now to plan all the lovely clothes to make!
