NISM2015 finally arrived and I packed the car up with far too many projects, machines and cake. So eager was I to get there I arrived far too early!!! The Arts Village, in Rotorua, was new to me so I enjoyed the time to check it all out and met the volunteers who run it.
Mel and Sandra turned up and it was all go. Lots of sewing, shopping, gossiping and eating ensured. I was fortunate to room with the lovely Robyn who had a neat dress and skirt that I need so more pattern buying! In fact a feature of this weekend was seeing close up many of the independent patterns that I had been wondering about. I love the Muse Gillian Dress and can see myself making that up soon.
Next time I will be more organised and cut out a few more earlier than the night before!!! I cut out two Style Arc Anne long sleeve T-shirts. I also brought my bomber jacket, Pamela's Patterns Magic Pencil Skirt both of which were unfinished. I completed the Anne T-shirt in a beautiful french viscose knit from Emmaonesock and the Pencil skirt.

I have worn both items and love them both so win. I have my sewmojo back and am now thinking about a spring wardrobe.
