<p>I agree with Charlotte! It was quite emotional seeing everyone together and when I got home I couldn't stop talking all night about stuff that had happened during the day.</p>
<p>It was so refreshing to be able to talk about sewing and fabric without someone rolling their eyes or having to pretend to be interested!</p>
<p>This will have to be a regular thing! I had so much fun and I don't think that I could live without looking forward to another meetup ever again!!! </p>

<p>I could list to but I don't think you have the time or space here!</p>
<p>The most amazing feeling I had when we all met up, it was really rather emotional, this carried on whilst having our photos done (thanks mum, you did a fantstic job).</p>

<p>Practically running up to Mimi & Marie in the tunnel to the V&A after spotting their ' red white and blue' -ness and asking if they were 'sewweekly-ers' (so relieved they were!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Feeling like I wasn't mad & obsessed anymore, but rather a perfectly normal person - doesn't everyone talk about fabric and sewing all the time!?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Having someone (I forget who - sorry!) pick the pattern I brought to the swap :) yay it went to a good home</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The swap in general - it felt like Christmases used to when I was a small thing! Exciting, friendly and oh so much fun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The exhibition - and talking to the others about what bits we liked about each outfit and how we could incorporate the ideas into our sewing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Discovering the most amazing array of fabric shops with people who felt the same way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Being able to tell my husband that actually,no I hadn't spent any money on fabric - what about these bags?... oh no, that wasn't real money, you see I bought everyone's tickets to the V&A on my credit card, and they gave me cash. So really, I didn't actually spend money on fabric..... there is logic in there somewhere. Or maybe just denial.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An increased sense of confidence, enthuisasm & excitement about sewing after talking to everyone and the wonderful sense of comeraderie & support.</p>

Ok, I've been thinking about this, again, no particular order:<br />
<br />
Phoning Charlotte T to say I'd arrived at King's Cross but spotting her and Debi in red, white and blue before she answered...<br />
<br />
Inside out coat in the Yamamoto exhibition (must try this!)<br />
<br />
Strawberries in the Victoria Sponge at the V&A.<br />
<br />
Being photographed and all the flashes going off (felt like a celebrity!).<br />
<br />
Debi's Union Jack peek-a-boo lining and hood.<br />
<br />

<br />
Charlotte's Horrockses dress (must try one out now with the pattern I've downloaded).<br />
<br />
Meeting everyone I'd only ever seen on a screen and making new friends.<br />
<br />
Seeing all the clever things made by everyone.<br />
<br />
Seeing everyone wandering up and down Goldhawk Road in red, white and blue.<br />
<br />
Pattern swap and watching patterns and fabrics go to new homes (look forward to the 'creations').<br />
<br />
Discussing our 'eras' (but I still don't know which one is 'mine' yet - more discussion?!)<br />
<br />
Adding to my fabric stash.<br />
<br />
Just doing something great out of the normal routine ...<br />
<br />
I never know if I've enjoyed myself until a day or so after, but I keep remembering loads of great things and have been left with a sense of exciting new beginnings ... here's to the next one ...

The feel of the silk and cotton mix fabric is to die for. I seriously hope to get some of it made up and ready to come to the next meet up (provided it doesn't clash with anything else).</p>
