The Sew Weekly Sewing Circle

UK meet (and swap?) - anyone interested?

Some of us have started saying we'd like a UK meet up.... sooooo, who is interested? And where do you live? And are you willing to travel???????

 

I have just looked at the rail map of the uk, we could meet centrally somewhere, sometime this summer? We seem to have people from Edinburgh to Devon....

 

I'll start, I live in Lincolnshire, I can travel within reason (!), but I need some time to organise babysitting ;0) I would LOVE to meet some of the people I have met online and chat about sewing...

 

Who's in?

Just bought my train ticket! whoohoo! I'll be getting into London Kings Cross at 10:59am if all goes well.  I'm catching a 6pm train back to Edinburgh! Can't wait to meet you all!

I love this Union Jack fabric. I went out looking at stuff yesterday and there's tons of it about for the Royal Wedding - stripes, specially designed fabric etc ... Was nearly tempted again but I must use what I've already got!

S0, How many of us are going? I just lost the count?? I saw that Mimi suggested we try a group discount , if we have enought people I think its worth a try- I dont mind trying to do that in behalf of the group but I need to know if we have enought people to bargain.

And what types of fabrics you are most interrested??  Im going back to Ldn this monday , so if I have some answers I can go there to negotiate !!!

That would be great if you could!

 

I'm thinking patterned fabric, maybe something other than cotton and definitely would like to get some jersey cotton as never sewn with it yet.

 

Thanks for this!

I never used jersey either and its on my personal challenges list..

Its not a problem.. I will probaly need to "choose" 1 or 2 shops to bargain  our  group discount...

Yeah, don't worry too much I'm sure we can bargain on the day too with them as we'll probably fill the shop with both this group and the other blog meet up!
