Why You Should Go to a Creative Retreat (and what happens at one)

A weekend at a spa or a beach getaway aren’t bad, but I’ve just experienced the ULTIMATE weekend away. Jamboree South Coast was a 3 day event, jam-packed with craft classes, delicious meals, yummy treats and soulful music. I totally immersed myself in learning new crafts and making friends with fellow sewing nerds. I never realised until now, how energising it is to dedicate a weekend solely to creativity.

T Shirt Sewing Pattern | This easy tee sews up on a serger. I didn't use a sewing machine at all!

Japanese T shirt pattern to give your serger a workout!

I finally got a long desk for my sewing machine and serger to sit next to each other – permanently. This is a big change from one year ago, when we lived in a studio apartment in San Francisco. Our tiny dining table was my sewing table / kitchen bench / work desk. You’ll see lots more serger projects on Sew in Love now 🙂
