Long Time No see

So…. I’ve not written anything in ages.  But I have a good reason for that – I’ve been stuck behind the Great Firewall of China for the last two weeks.   No google, no gmail, no wordpress, no youtube, no instagram, no tumbler – it felt like a trip back in time!

I just got back – this morning in fact – so I’m pretty shattered.  It was an amazing trip and there’s so much to see in China.  I’ll be writing about it here.

I plan to cover:

• Pre-trip sewing –
  • I made several projects for this trip and I’d love to share them with you and review the patterns.
• My travels in China –
  • places I went, things I saw, recommendations and all that.
  • Beijing
• Fabric buying in China –
  • I visited the Silk Market in Beijing, a Silk Factory and the garment and tailoring districts of Shanghai.  So I’ll to tell you all about those and what’s worth a visit.
• Clothes shopping in China –
  • I went looking for beautiful Chinese clothes and accessories – did I succeed?

So that’s all for now.  I have to sort out all my photos and get it written.

See you soon!
