In Handmade Getaway readers will learn how to organise a handmade getaway all of their own. This book is a collection of 14 individual projects and 7 group activities that can be completed during the year in a series of planned sessions with friends. Organised by time, the projects are completed in sessions similar to quilting bees. Whether the getaway is for an afternoon or a week, the content is both practical and inspirational. The length of each dedicated sewing session dictates the tools and planning required for each project. From creating a budget and sharing resources to strategising short- and longer-term retreats, readers will learn how to plan and execute a successful sewing adventure.
Key Selling Points The included schedules and checklists take all the guesswork out of retreat planning This book demonstrates several beginner- and intermediate-friendly projects that can be completed either alone or in a group
The number one reason crafters join guilds is to sew together and the most highly attended events that guilds hold are sewing retreats
