Happy Birthday to me (yesterday)!!! For my birthday, I treated myself to a really fun sewing retreat!!! I've talked about Modern Stitching Affair (MSA) before, but it's finally here!!! YAY! Tara Curtis from Wefty Needle and Sara Lawson from Sew Sweetness are the two instructors for the event. I am SO excited to learn from both of these amazing women. We had lots of prep work that we needed to do prior to the event.
I packed all of my prep in different project bags from Stitch Supply Co! For Tara's class, we had to prep all of the bias strips for piecing! We picked 3 colors and had light, medium, and dark of each. These will get woven into a panel and then sewn into a tote!
For Sara's class, we are making the Crimson and Clover Train Case! I decided to make the medium size with no piping because I'm afraid that I'll mess it all up. Maybe I'll try piping for the next one I make! I decided to pick some fun Ice Cream flavor prints for the train case!
I drove to Madison and made a pit stop at Stitch Supply Co and got some fun fabric! I bought enough (>$50) to get yet another project bag! These are so much fun and a great size!
The swag bag we got for attending MSA is so amazing! I can't believe there is so much stuff!
Anyway I hope you guys have a great Friday! <3
