I have to say: Cocktails with Colette was a total blast last Saturday at Grey’s Fabric and Notions in Boston.  Sarah went all out with the treats, music, and even made a special cocktail for the event, the Basil Snippet (super yummm, btw).  It was so encouraging to see the turnout at the party – I had no idea that there were that many sewing enthusiasts, especially younger ones, in and around Boston.  It just goes to show, sewing is growing stronger and isn’t going anywhere!  Some of my favorite Colette makes were an eyelet Violet blouse worn with polka dot Iris shorts and heels, and a black Swiss dot Laurel.  I’ve never seen so many Colette garments in one room before!

In regards to the first photo at the top – yeah, my friend Karissa and I had a total fan-girl moment when we came in and saw Sarai; it ended up being Ana asking for our picture to be taken since we were too shy and awe-struck.  Sarai was so sweet to chat with us and answer our questions about the pattern line, sewing, and as Ana found out, knitting as well.  We also learned another pattern will be coming out soon this summer…can’t wait to see what it is!
