I will be attending Claire Shaeffer's "Chanel and that Suit" program of couture study in May. I AM SO EXCITED! This week long sewing dream will take place in Palm Springs, California. The flight is booked, room reserved, and check sent!
I so wish and wonder if any of my dear readers will be making this trek to the land of eternal sunshine. Ms. Shaeffer always has an ad in Threads Magazine in case you would like to contact her for further information.
All of the fun and learning will take place at the beautiful Palm Mountain Resort. Is this not spectacular? I can't wait to report on friends made and lessons learned. Care to join me? ,,,,Bunny
Fantastic Bunny - I am very envious but living in NZ cannot make it! Oh well I will live vicariously through your blog posts. I cannot wait to see what you make. All the best. Jacqui
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I'm excited for you and for us, as I'm sure you will share your accomplishments here on your blog. After the snowy winter you've endured, that sunny weather will be fabulous, too!
ReplyDeletewow that is exciting and sounds like a great time. plus you deserve some palm trees and sunshine after the winter you have had!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful time! I know you'll have a great time.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, have fun! And definitely report on Claire as a teacher. Inquiring minds want to know!
ReplyDeleteIf you want a guided trip of the LA fabric district, I volunteer.
ReplyDeleteThis has always been one of my dreams, too. I'm so pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteOh Bunny,
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely fabulous.
I adored making her Vogue 8804 pattern for my daughter. Even more thrilled as I collect her books and was given a personally signed copy of her latest book a little while back............much treasured.
I do write on Claire's FB page, and I would love if you could send my best regards when you meet this wonderful Lady. I have learned so much from both of you!!
Bunny - I've known Claire for many years - she taught her fabulous workshops for us several time over the years and even was our 'celebrity tour guide' to England & Wales (Stitches Great Fiber Getaways) So I can say with total confidence that you will have a blast! and learn so much for this wonderful lady. I even stayed at the hotel you are staying at the last time I was in Palm Springs. It's a great place and you are in walking distance of dozens of really good restaurants and fun shop! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteoh. so. insanely. jealous!!!!
ReplyDeleteWoo-Hoo!! Doin' the ~~**Happy Dance**~~ for you, Bunny! This is going to be such a wonderful experience & I know you'll put it all to good use once you get back home to your cave.
ReplyDeleteWear comfortable walking shoes...lots to see!!
BTW, your Chanel jacket looked so much prettier than those in that first photo.
How very exciting. Since I cannot go I'm looking forward to your posts about it when you return.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize she is in Palm Springs, only 1 1/2 hours from my house. I'll definitely look into it, especially as I have her jacket book.
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful to meeet you there, Cynthia!
DeleteI'm so happy for you. In a selfish sense, since I learn so much from you, this trip will benefit me (and the rest of your readers) immensely. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I am so envious. I did not know of these Sewfaris. You have just added an item to my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds perfect for you! A beautiful sunny setting in the good company of people who love artistic excellence. With your high skill level, this will be the cherry on top. (I'm at level 101 and am thrilled to be going to a Brenda Sparling fitting retreat.)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go to a Brenda retreat as well. Maybe one day.
DeleteBunny, I'm so happy for you!!!! This sounds like a dream vacation to me! Can hardly wait to hear all about it when you return...I know you will have a wonderful time.
DeleteBunny, I am so happy to read about your plans! As beautiful as it is in the Adirondacks, there is something to be said for Palm Springs! I do hope you post all about it!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful experience. I'll be watching for your posts. Take lots of pics.
ReplyDeleteLooks like paradise to me! All that gorgeous sunshine and a whole week of non-stop sewing! Can't wait for your report!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip and sewing experience this will be.
