Poor s-i-l and nephew got dragged around fabric shops today!
We went to Material Obsession, and I got two more aboriginal themed fabrics, plus some text fabric, and a street map of Paris(!!!). It was a great shop (thanks for the suggestion, Avril) FULL of lovely fabrics and inspiration.
Next we went to No Chintz, but they were mostly upholstery, and didn't have ones I could see myself using for bags, so we moved onto Logan's Patchworks ...
Set in an industrial estate, it was like a tardis: tiny on the outside, HUGE on the inside, and so many fabrics! I bought some more aboriginal themed fabric, and a few other lovely fabrics. In the end we left the 4th shop for another day - there only so much fabric shopping I can subject a 3 year old to! (and shop 4 is within walking distance of the house, LOL).
Teje asked how many kilos I was allowed to bring back, ooops, I might need to post some clothing back home!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Well it has turned cold here, so you will have to do the 'wear evverything' trick again at this rate.
ReplyDeleteMaterial Obsession shop - now my jealously is boiling over!
Post your dirty washing home, that's what I did! Funnily enough, customs declined to open and check too (although it really was dirty washing)
