Anneke Caramin: We should totally meet up for texting and scones.

Wow, I'm probably one of the last people to write about this! On Saturday we had our second Belgian Blogger Meet, in Antwerp this time! Loads of people turned up, and I was a bit scared at the prospect of gathering twenty sewists and getting them around the city on a schedule, but Lieke did an amazing job...

As usual I only took like three pictures. I was too busy chatting and having fun to look through a lens! We started the day with coffee (and cake in my case) at Viggo's, followed by some fabric shopping. I managed not to buy anything (!!) but I did score a few bits and bobs at the swap!

I also got rid of most of the fabrics I brought, so I guess that was justified. We then rushed off to Aahaar for an amazing lunch (vegetarian all-you-can-eat buffet? Count me in baby! This is one of my favourite eating spots in Antwerp). After this we decided to split up: part of the group wanted moar fabrics, and me and some others went to the fashion museum to see the current exhibition. It was incredibly inspiring to see loads of garments made by fashion students up close, and I picked up loads of details to use in my own sewing...

We took one group shot, but our camera guy wasn't the most talented and the background was a bit disappointing as well. Thank god I have a master's degree in graphic design:

Look at all those happy faces! Even the mayor stopped by to show off his new skirt.

I'll leave you with something that still makes me smile and a list of everyone who came along. I had loads of fun, even though it was a truly exhausting day. On to the next one!
