10 days and counting

only 10 days..... OMG....


o  Basic Sewing Machine tool kit -  This weekend is about Rest, Relaxation, Fun, Socialising oh and SEWING!!!!  So bring whatever you wish to work on.

But if you wish to just enjoy the weekend and go home with something completed and unexpected then we have it covered.  Donna and I spent many glasses of bubbles coming up with a perfect little project for you all to work on over the weekend. We hope that you enjoy it. The Kit will have all your need to complete this project, with the aid of the following recommended items.

NOTE - Don't stress if you don't have the item on hand, we are a caring sharing group and am sure that you will be able to beg, borrow, trade for the item you need. 
  • Sewing Machine and thread - clean and in good working order, Appropriate power & foot peddle, Extra sewing machine needles. Pre-wound bobbins (when you can) or extra empty bobbins. If you were not planning on bringing one then just use Chooky's.....
  • Fabric Scissors
  • Rotary cutter - Chooky will have ruler & mats (unless you plan on cutting lots yourself)
  • Pins
  • Embroidery Hoop (if you use one)
  • Crewel size 9 needle
  • cardboard for cutting circles or template plastic or Karen buckley’s perfect circles. 
  • 1 inch elongated/honeycomb template
  • Milliners size 11 Needle
  • Bottom line thread
  • Roxannes glue (only if you already have some..........pins will work fine.........)
o  Snacks  we know you all like to bring them, but all meals are covered, but if you have special dietary needs then suggest you pack your favourites. otherwise its the usual
NO NEED TO BRING NIBBLES AS WE HAVE THAT IN THE BUDGET TOO - WE WILL SUPPLY

BRING DRINKS
  • Beer, wine, preferred tipple
  • Sweets: Candy, Chocolate

o  Extras
  • Extension cord/power board - Chooky 5 power boards and several extension cords ( maybe talk to your traveling buddies and bring one between you just incase if you plan on machine sewing or need a light........
  • Surge protector if you are fussy
  • Additional task lighting
  • Reading glasses
  • Chair cushion
  • Comfy shoes (especially for any day that you’ll be doing a lot of standing or perhaps fitting in a WALK/RUN), socks or slippers, light jacket or jumper
  • Spending Money - we hope to have a couple of shops available with some treasures for you.

Excitedly counting down the days 
Sonia and Chooky.

Chookyblue...... said...

Diddles the only thing t you should be worried about is the Pilliga Yowie.......

Jewells if you brought nothing on this list you will also survive....... Do not worry about the template......

Sonia said...

Oh so excited, blocks done, fake it might be my option, home after 5 days in Sydney I’ve got 3 days before I have 14 houseguests for 5 days and the 2 days before I leave, I can’t wait!!!

Diddles, can’t wait to hug you. Jewells we have it all covered!!! You’ll be fine! Handsitiching involved, slow and steady you’ll manage!

Jewell's I was asking the same thing - what's an elongated... and then my hubby piped up and said "wouldn't that just be a stretched out hexagon looking thing?". He definitely deserves some brownie points!

Susan said...

One quick question here - what size "circles" -

Sonia said...

Diane , he certainly does

Jenny, laying in bed I can’t tell you right now but it’s in the small pack as that’s the only on I have.

Jewells said...

I found the Crewel needle... but I going to need to "borrow or buy" a Milliners No 11 (and a couple of other things on that list) off someone please!

Chookyblue...... said...
