Wow, that looks so bare in there! Toni, the preppy looking fabric looks great against the skin. I enjoyed listening to you guys talk and educate me about fabric.
I like the tie dye looking fabric the best and since it’s light weight and breezy I would probably make the Vogue 2021 top out of it with the one bare shoulder and the sari like effect on the other shoulder and it could flap in the breeze on the cruise ship. I miss not seeing the cotton room but I’ll try to go check it out today.
My heart is so sad to see High Fashion closing. Bad enough that High Fashion Home has closed😢😢I used to work in an office building nearby and would walk there and use my lunch hour to walk around those two stores to save my sanity from dealing with that horrendous job. Truly heartbreaking to see High Fashion close.💔Thanks for sharing your time there.
I'm so glad you got the tye dyed purple silk! So pretty and airy. When you sew it, spritz with water- that will stabilize it and make it easier to handle. I do the same when I sew linen, just be sure to prewash. You will be glad you bought the tye dyed purple every time you look at it. Loved the girls shopping day out and all the farbic choices. Thank you so much for taking us along. Yum!
Aww thank you for watching! And thanks for the tip to make sewing it easier!! I’ve never heard of water spritzing silk crepe. Now that I’ve got the fabric home, I’m glad I got it too ❤️
I have not tried that trick on silk yet, only on linen, but I was planning on using it when I sew up my silk stash. So test it first and see if it works. It works really well on all weights of linen and I think it should work on silk.
A fun excursion to the fabric store with your friends! I love your choices, the caftan will be amazing.
It was so much fun! Yes I agree about the caftan. Can’t wait to sew it up 😉
So sad to see this historic store close…😢
Fantastic haul 👏💕🧵
I know. I’ve been a total of 5 times now and it makes me so sad. But I did get some great deals!
What fun to spend the day with like minded friends. Can’t wait to see the finished products! Hope y’all went out for girl food afterwards 😊.
We had such a great time together!!

Aww thanks Zelda! It was so much fun.
Hi Toni! I cannot wait to see what you make with those beautiful fabrics!
I’m excited too! Now I need to get seeing.
Love that plaid you got!!
Thank you! It’s so bright and colorful-I have to find the right pattern 😉
how luck you are to having such fun sewing friends!
It was so much fun to go shopping together!
Great haul! Buy the fabric, the pattern will come...! Breaks my heart, how could this fabulous store close??
I don’t know why they are closing!! It’s so sad. We are losing the best fabric store in Houston.

It would work well for that Vogue pattern!! And that would be way more unique than a kaftan. Good idea Lilly!

My guess is that the price of the land exceeds what they can make in either store. It’s so sad.
I liked each of the fabrics you got. I think the purple would be a very pretty suit for you. I really like ymtge caftan marerial.
Oh thank you! The purple would be a very soft suit so we shall see what it turns into 😉
The tie-died would make a nice kimono
It would! I think I bought 3 yards so I’ve got options 😉
It’s such a loss for Houston . This Friday will be their last day open 🙁🙁
I know. It’s such a huge loss 😢

Very nice!

Harder and harder to get fabric other than cotton at quilt stores
So true. I took advantage of the discounts to buy some great fabric.
