A comment from @northernmariette on the clothing conference at Fort Meigs.
It was nice to be back at Fort Meigs, but I am tall and shy and sat in the back of the room during the fashion show, taking a few bad pics because of the obstructed view.
I enjoyed the lectures and gathered some nice references. But I didn't go to the evening soirée event because I was too busy with other things.
The "beginner" fibre arts classes were above my level tbh; everyone was very friendly and nice but they were also Level 9000 Sewing Wizards and I felt out of place.
