Today I have a little show and tell of projects made on the weekend at Sewjourn. This is not a fully inclusive list - I was far too busy eating and sewing to take many photos, and of the photos that I did take, half are blurry!
Liesl finished off this lovely coat for her mum, and I finished off my Day Bag for me. I'll take some photos of all of the extra features that I included later in the week.
I whipped up this Seekers apron for Ms L. She bought the tea towel at the Seekers Concert a few years ago. I bought the black fabric with stars from the local patchwork shop in Lancefield. It wasn't exactly the print that I was looking for, but it works perfectly with a tea towel for a musical act.
I also whipped up a little drawstring bag from a scrap of zoo fabric. I forgot to take drawstring cord with me, but luckily Liesl had some on hand to finish it off.
Cathy whipped up a sweet little pink Burrito... he just needs a bit of stuffing
Bev finished off her quilt top (sorry about the blurry photo) - the applique is beautiful when it's not blurry.
Bec made this quilt top from scratch using her favourite chenille (or channeeeeeeeal in an aussie twang)
She even thought she deserved a halo after finishing off this little zippered purse...
Annabel whipped up this quilt top from scratch in lovely soothing blue and greens
The one thing that we forgot to do, was to tape our ad for Janome - once we'd all unpacked our machines Friday night, we realised that there were 6 Janome sewing machines and 2 Janome overlockers on the table.
Serena arrived on Saturday with an Elna which was obviously upset with the balance of the universe in the room, as it proceeded to break down..... poor little Elna!

What bunch of talented ladies!! Wish i still lived in melbourne! (actually - its pretty warm up here right now!)
I haven't been able to get your pink wire so i will make you a surprise instead as a little thankyou for my WONDERFUL apron :-) Glad you had a good weekend.
Wow what a great weekend! I'd would have loved to have seen all the machines lined up!
So much productivity!!! All lovely creations too.
What an awesome way to spend the weekend. I like the red bag and the burrito.

Wow! what a lot of crafting. It must have been great to be able to spend the weekend with such a talented bunch of people.
So much for one weekend, must of been so much fun!
I remembered about the Janome ad late last night, bummer we forgot! Glad you mentioned it, though. bk Elna!
The thing I can never quite get is how SO much always gets done at Sewjourn even with all the essential distractions (like chocolate eating). And your bag is GORGEOUS!
That bag is fantastic!
You are pro now.
Now, can we never speak of this weekend again... I'm still rolling around on the floor having a tantrum with jealousy...
:)
Thanks for the insight into what actually got made. How wonderfully productive. It sounds great. You know, I really like that drawstring bag, you should sell some!
