In this video I’m taking y’all with me through everything I purchased at the Sewrority sewing retreat—yes, every little pattern and fabric goodie that came home with me. I’m sharing my sewing retreat shopping haul the way I like to do it: real, detailed, and with ideas already spinning in my head for what each piece could become. If you love seeing what other sewists pick up at events (and how we justify it as “planning”), this one is for you. I’m also wearing the Tacoma/Tecoma Top from Mood Fabrics, and it’s such a good example of the kind of easy, wearable pieces I like to keep in rotation—especially when I’m building out capsule wardrobe vibes. Retreats are honestly the best mix of inspiration and temptation, so I talk through what caught my eye and why. If you’re thinking about attending a sewing retreat, this haul gives you a peek into the fun part (shopping) and the practical part (choosing things you’ll actually sew and wear).
