Sewing by the Sea
I went away with my girlfriend MaryBeth this past weekend for our own version of "Sewing by the Sea". MaryBeth and I started taking sewing class together about a year ago. The one instructor told us about Sewing by the Sea in Ocean City Maryland. It is held at one of the hotel's from Sun to Thurs. Well, going during the week was not good for us so we decided to make our own sewing by the sea. MaryBeth's grandparents have an oceanfront beach house in Brigantine, NJ. So, we packed up our sewing stuff and set out to sew by the sea. We arrived late Friday night and set up our stuff. Saturday we sewed from 10 am until 2:30pm just stopping to go out to dinner. I made 3 skirts and a tote bag. I also embroidered several items. MaryBeth made 3 tote bags, 2 pillowcases, and 3 change purses. Sunday we got up and packed our stuff and went out to breakfast and then came home. We had a blast. It may sound boring to some(like my husband, who laughed and said..."Have a blast girls") but we had a really good time.
We are already looking forward to next time!

You are so talented....I have a hard time sewing a button....you might have to consider selling some of your goodies....I would be one of the first in line!!
Have a great week!

Well...you know I am envious all over the place. I know we thought we would never see the day when we thought going away on an overnight trip to SEW was groovy...but, sigh, it seems we are happily taking our places in middle age!!!!
Glad you had fun...and your wares are far out!!!
Kate
Wow! I am sooo jealous! I can't even thread a needle! I love the skirts you made! It looks like you had a blast!
How much fun! The view was gorgeous! (I would have been tempted to slip outside for a few moments......) Love the work! Great job!
Sounds like pure bliss to get away with a friend and be creative and have some quiet.
I love everything you made. If you ever sell any of your items I would for sure be a customer.

Okay, I'm serious..when can I get my order in for the skirt and the embroidered top?
Sounds like a fun weekend : )
Sounds like a relaxing time to me!!!
