I hope you're all having a good week! Thought I'd share my sewing experience from last night, with you.
Spool of Thread is a cute fabric and sewing store and they also offer a variety of workshops. Actually, it's more of a sewing lounge. Lord, if they served cocktails I'd never leave.
Owners, Lili and Henry, are so helpful and encouraging. Last night, I took a 3 hour pillow case session with Lili, and I actually came away with two pillow cases that I'm not embarrassed to show. I'm not a sewer, at all, so this fast and to-the-point workshop was perfect for me. Thank you Lili.
My pretty decent pillow cases.
Have a great day! Back soon.

Now I know where I need to go to fulfill my '52-in-52' list item of learning to sew.....hmmmm, how to get from Noosa to Vancouver for a weekend?

Oh wow... that space is so inspiring even I might be able to learn to sew there (and that's saying something!). Love your photos.

Wow, what a cool place. Another Vancouver business I have never heard of — thanks for keeping me in the loop!
Oh that class - wish i could've been there. Your pillow cases are so sweet!
maybe there is hope for me after all... lovely...
cool those turned out quite nicely!!!
Great job...Love the fabric!
Oh how fun! I love your pillowcases! It looks like a great place to hang out - I'm like a kid in a candy store when it comes to fabric shops. I'm so grateful that I learned how to sew as a kid - it's a skill I've needed since! :)
What a great shop and space. I definitely need to learn how to sew one of these days and I think it would be easy to do in an environment like that. Thankfully, my mom is a sewer but I try to pace out the projects I send her way, sparingly!
I need to get over there one day too! I can't sew either, but I sort of like to think I can (and I'm wrong). I should make myself honest by actually learning!
Your pillowcases look great!
i got a vitamin v newsletter about that place and have saved it to one day try out. thanks for the extra encouragement lades, it's a def go-to now for sure! and agreed, cocktails should be served at all times and in all places ; )
i haven't sewed much more than a ripped sock toe before, so the fact you seem to have got so much from it makes me excited all the more. your pillow cases are magnificent, love, love, love! ♥

i spoke about you on my blog yesterday...
have a nice weekend!!!
xoxo

Big time fireplace envy. I saw one of those on the verge once for the council pick up and thought 'hmmmm really should stop and grab that' but i didnt. regretted it ever since!
hope you have a great weekend xx
cocktails at a fabric shop - hello, perfect!!!! x
