Spanish Sewing Retreat

his week I have been in sunny Spain on a sewing retreat. I have had the pleasure of sharing a sewing room with eleven fabulous ladies who are all incredibly talented sewers.

We were all brought together by the lovely and talented Deb Day of Deb Day Sewing Room. Deb has been working on this retreat for at least 18 months, she’s poured everything into it to make the perfect sewing retreat.

All of the group have been producing garments, busy sewing a huge array of fabrics into gorgeous, dresses, trousers, tops and loads more. All of us were being guided by the amazing talent of Brenda Killigrew of IDC College and of course Deb.

I on the other hand decided to do a piece of textile art, always the rebel. I’d had an idea for a jellyfish this time, I’d been working it out in my head for weeks and it was time to get it out of my head and onto cloth, it truly has been a privilege to create art in such a beautiful location and in the lovely sunny weather.  If you’ve never been to Los Alcazares in southern Spain, you really are missing out.

Anyway, here’s my project so far.
