PR New York City - Garment District Meet-up Highlights

 

On Saturday, Sept. 30th, 8 PatternReview members had a Meet-up in New York City. It was organized and executed by one of our members, MarjorieR, and posted on our Forum - Regional Communities - PR DAY - Garment District, New York City.  You can find the thread here: Forum for New York Citty Meet-up

MarjorieR writes - "Despite torrential rain the previous day, 8 PR members made it to the NYC meet-up -  from Manhattan, New Jersey and even Minnesota. We went to Mood, then split up for further shopping. Later, we gathered for lunch, checked out each other's purchases, and never stopped talking! Except for the Minnesota contingent, all of us plan to do it again, on November 11th.  We hope plenty of others join us."

Glad that the awful flooding did not affect the trip. I haven't been in the City since 2019 and wonder how much of the garment district remains. Hope to visit my beloved NYC next year.

How fun!!! I love the pictures under the giant button by the sculpture of the man sewing. Years ago while visiting NYC I walked by them, but I was quite young and didn't sew then! However, I remember thinking how cool they were. Looks like they had a blast! :)
