There were 6 peeps making the dress, two doing the coat and I think 4 doing the bag.
The dress is really nice and forgiving. I am a good size larger than usual, think lots of comfort eating recently
and I have found it very easy to wear. I used a lovely ponte and it hangs really well. I was a little nervous that it would make my bum look huge as Icarry most of my weight round my middle but I have been pleasantly surprised. There was a fashon show in the evening showcasing Sew Different patterns and it was really interesting to see the dress in a variety of fabrics.
Her patterns are very true to size, none of the vast amounts of ease the Big4 use.
The coat workshop would not have been for me, the coat was not my style at all

I didn't take too much notice of the bag workshop but people seemed happy with their results.
The room and equipment were good, plenty of everything and no need to queue for the iron.
The catering was fine, soup, bread and nice sandwiches at lunchtime and a light salad/flan thing in the evening followed by Eton Mess.
I had to leave just before the end of the evening do but the was a catwalk show and then a talk by a blogger/vlogger.
It was just so lovely to be sewing again and I will certainly make the tulip dress again.
Just looking forward to getting my own sewing room back again, hopefully by christmas
