First Italian Sewing Meetup - Primo Incontro Cucito Italiano - Milano, 28/3/15


Hey, guys!
I have a great announcement for you today!
Silvia, Marine, Nicoletta and myself (the team behind the Facebook page Blog italiani di Cucito) have been organizing the first ever Italian Sewing Meetup!The idea has been tossed around for a while now, so I’m really happy that it’s finally happening!

Here is the detailed program:

Meet up around 11am for brunch at Lab Café in Milan, via L. Scrosati 9. Brunch is 10 Euros.

The menu includes:
  • a savoury croissant or sandwich
  • a small quiche
  • yoghurt with fruit and cereal or toast with jam
  • orange juice
  • coffee
You can pay directly at Lab Café on the day.

While at Lab Café we will have a fabric swap. Simply wrap up some fabric from your stash (Don’t panic! You’ll have a chance to get more fabric after brunch).
We will put all names in a jar, then we will pick them out one at the time…and you’ll be able to choose the package you like the best… and go home with some brand new fabric for your next project.

At 2:30 pm we will leave Lab Café and head to one or two fabric stores… it will be great fun to shop or to just look at fabric all together! We will reveal the store names in the coming days.

We will wrap up the day around 5 p.m. or whenever you need to leave!
