Melbourne Sewer Meet-up: Date, Time, Location

I'm very excited about our upcoming meet-up!

People have said they would like to meet to do some fabric shopping first, then have coffee and cake together. Suggestions included starting at The Fabric Store on Brunswick St, then going to Tessuti, then to coffee. A pattern/fabric swap was also suggested.

I think for this meet-up, it might be best to keep everything simple - we can do more on our subsequent meet-ups! I hope this is okay with everyone.

So - lets meet at 1.00pm at Tessuti on Saturday 18th August, do some fabric shopping together and then go to coffee and cake at Hells Kitchen in Degraves Lane. If someone knows of a better cafe, let me know - I thought of this one as it serves alcohol too if anyone wants a tipple ;-). I'll book upstairs at Hells Kitchen otherwise for 2.30pm. That gives us over an hour at Tessuti.

Also - everyone is welcome - bloggers, non-bloggers, male, female, sew-for-yourselfers, sew-for-otherers......whoever you are come along!


Just make sure you leave a comment here saying you'll be coming so we know who will be there, and how big a table I should book! I'm also going to let Tessuti know that a group of us will be descending on them!

Any questions, leave them in the comments, or email me at rachel.king@uqconnect.edu.au. Can't wait to meet you all!
