Reminder: LA Sewist Meet-up 2/21/15

Don't forget sewing peeps, there will be an LA-area Sewist meet-up this month!! Come join us to view awesome costumes, meet fellow sewists, and shop for fabric together!

When: Saturday, February 21st at 11:45am**
Where: Hollywood Costume Exhibit (afterwards at Mood for fabric shopping)
6067 Wilshire Blvd, LA 90036
(the Wilshire May Company Building on the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax)

Exhibition Ticket: $20 for adult ticket
Purchase tickets using this link.

I apologize for the short notice, but hopefully you read about it on Instagram or on some of the sewing bloggers' websites {Marrie of Purls and Pleats, Kathy of The Nerdy Seamstress, and Erin of Miss Crayola Creepy}. This is a super informal, casual get-together. I had so much at the last meet-up in June that I really wanted to have another one and meet more amazing sewists, but I'm not so into planning large events, hence the non-polished meet-up announcement (and lack of organized lunch, which Erin did an amazing job of planning).

*Please note, tickets for the exhibition are timed every 15 minutes. I bought a ticket for Noon (12pm) and the website asks you to arrive 15 minutes early. I'm not sure how many tickets are available for each time slot, but it is highly encouraged you purchase your ticket in advance. The next time slot is 12:15pm, so if we can't all go in together, hopefully we won't be separated by too much time.

Here is a map of the area and parking info.

Please pass along this info to anyone who may be interested. There are a lot of sewing bloggers/enthusiasts in the LA area and I only know of a very small percentage of them so I'm counting on word of mouth to let people know about it.

Also, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if you're thinking of coming so I know who to look out for and expect. You can leave a comment or email me at kaorumarie.blog at gmail [dot] com.

Hope to see you there!

I made a friend in Italy :)))))) In what feels like forever, I finally just relaxed this weekend. No guests, no parties to host or attend, no gifts to frantically finish making, no commitments! Sometimes it's nice to not have anything on your schedule. Recently I met someone in my industry who sews! (Hi Shannon!) We met at a professional organization luncheon last month and then soon after she came across my blog . We had already planned on having lunch with colleagues to talk shop before she found my blog. We met for a business lunch this week with our colleagues, but it was fun to get in some sewing talk. I'm pretty sure my college was like, ' wtf.... ', when he heard us talking about sewing near the end of lunch. He made a weird comment like, ' did you guys finish catching up? ' I'm not sure if he thought we already knew each other or wanted to have a business meeting as an excuse to talk sewing, but whatever. Thankfully Shannon didn't mention m...

Fabric Shopping, Muslins, and Sewing Distractions

Every month I tell myself to stop buying fabric until I make several garments with the fabric in my stash. Unfortunately, most of what I currently have in my stash is for making dress/button-up shirts, which I still need to work out some fitting issues. I've gotten a lot better about not buying new patterns by the five-fold from Jo-Ann Fabrics during the Big 4 sales, although I have bought a couple new patterns from Sewaholic and Thread Theory. But fabric shopping....oooooh, I just can't help myself sometimes! I'll have an idea in my head and then I HAVE TO GET THE FABRIC NOW! I got into one of those fits last Friday. I blame Marrie and her amazing stretch cotton sateen dress . That dress is so cool and exactly the style and colors (black and white!) I would love to use as the backbone for my work wardrobe builder. After thinking about stretch cotton all morning, I sped-walked over to Michael Levine during my lunch break hoping to find some fabric to make a dress. ...

{Travel} Whirlwind Sightseeing in Hong Kong

My husband and I recently went on a 2 week vacation and ermagherd it was amazing. I used to work with someone who, every year, would save all of his vacation days during the year and then go on an epic 3-4 week vacation traveling to several countries. We were all envious, wishing we could do the same. Well, we could have done the same, but we chose not to do it because it wasn't a priority for any of us. Now that I'm back from one of the longest vacations I've ever been on in my adult life, I want to do it again. I want to make traveling outside the States a priority. One perk at my job is that I get approximately 20 vacation days/year. However, I accrue them every paycheck, so right now I'm hovering around 0 hours. So many paydays to go... We were in Hong Kong for 5 days and 4 nights, although only 3 full days as the other 2 were mostly occupied with traveling. We took a flight from LAX, connected in San Francisco, and then embarked on a 14 hour flight. It'...
