Last spring I told you<\/a> about the fabulous Makerie retreat in Boulder, Colorado. But I didn’t tell you about something very exciting that was in the works and which has now become a reality: a special one-time-only Makerie Sewing<\/strong> retreat! It will be a lot like the Makerie, but with all textile- and sewing-related workshops.<\/p>\n

I’m so excited about this retreat! Ali deJohn, the organizer of both Makerie retreats, has an incredible attention to detail. Everything is beautifully planned so you can relax and enjoy yourself for the weekend. And we’ve worked together to structure this workshop so everyone can take four half-day classes. Did you get that? Four<\/strong> classes in one weekend! There is such a terrific variety to select from, I don’t know how you’ll choose. But I can guarantee that it’s going to be an incredible weekend, with lots of other activities outside of the classes themselves. We’re got a lot of fun things planned! And how great will it be to meet new friends! That’s my favorite part of the entire experience.<\/p>\n

Here is the teacher and class line-up (and the part that I’ve been itching to tell you about for a while now):<\/p>\n
