SewCamp was so much fun! I had an opportunity to see some old friends and make some new ones. I headed for Philadelphia early Thursday morning. Andrea picked me up at the airport. We went to get Philly Steak and fries. Then off to JoMar for our first fabric shopping experience of the weekend. After that, we picked up Laquana (of course, we had to bring her a cheese steak too. Lol)

Over the next few days, we did some serious power sewing. Everyone enjoying the process and the company of fellow sewists. There was all kinds of buzzing in the sew studio. We were helping fit each other, doing tutorials, snacking, and talking about the news of the day. Gaylen and Jay are the best. Hosting a Sew Camp is a big deal. The preparing of the accommodations, meals, and sharing a lovely studio is a lot of work. But Gaylen and Jay never failed to make this the most enjoyable experience.

On Saturday afternoon a few of us decided to take a walk to the local Quilt shop were they sold high end quilter's cotton and notions. On the way, we stopped a fudge shop to pick up some treats. After shopping back to Carriage Corner to continue with our sewing marathon.

Carolyn kindly did photo shoots for each of us on Sunday and Monday. Each of us have a series of photos to select from for Instagram and blog posts. I think she took over 100 pictures of three outfits for me. Great start for blogging my pattern and sewing project reviews.
Monday afternoon, my kind friend, Andrea, drove me and Laquana back to the airport for our flights home. I love everything about Sew Camp: the location, the hopping, and the sewing with friends. I'm looking forward to my next Sew Camp in 2020.

What fun! Wish I lived closer so I could participate. Sewing can be such a solitary hobby so this camp shows the value of getting together. Karen
