Well, it happened. Our first Montreal meet-up! I had the great pleasure to meet 6 other sewcialists (this word feels weird in my mouth and I'm not sure if I am comfortable with it yet) for some coffee, some kvetching, some pattern trading, some shopping and some reveling in the company of other sewing nerds. Super great ladies and it was wonderful to put names & faces together, especially Ms. Vicki, who I have been trading comments with for so long.

We hit up the fabric shopping on St. Hubert and I scored a khaki twill for my By Hand London Victoria sleeveless blazer (already cut and ready to be sewn!). Officially I am not allowed to buy any more fabric this season as I lost my mind in San Francisco.
I also scored these beauties:
God I love 70's patterns.
And... wait for it....
Big hugs and thanks to Shannon for organizing the meet-up! We are definitely going to have to do it again, maybe this time hitting up Cremazie since there are some hidden gems up there...
In other news, the Bombshell swimsuit delivery date is almost here.... Hoping to have it available for purchase next week! I will write a detailed post on fabric requirements at that time so those of you who are interested in a sewalong can get your fabric ordered....
