Wednesday I went to San Francisco so I could spend a couple of hours at Britex (this will be boring for all you non-sewers!!). Four floors of sewing bliss! The bottom two floors are fabrics of all kinds, the third floor is buttons and notions, and the top is remnants and interfacings, etc. I started at the top and worked my way down just taking it all in.I found some great fabric on the second floor to add to the stash!!! I bought some purple/green that is gorgeous on both sides for a shirt/jacket. But, what side do I use?? I have in mind using a Sewing Workshop pattern that will show both sides. There was some RPL that blended perfectly so that will be made into some new pants. Back to the third floor for buttons:) They have an amazing array of buttons!!! And I do mean amazing - a whole wall full of buttons of every size, shape and color and made from all sorts of materials. I ended up with some square ones:)
Makes me want to sew:)
