It's so lovely buying fabric, yarn or other crafting supplies as souvenirs of your trip. You'll get endless pleasure, not only from the garments you'll make, but from the memories you now have of the places you visited every time you wear the item! 💜
Wow! Such a wonderful trip. I love, love, love your choice of gorgeous fabrics. I look forward to hearing about your visit to the fashion institute and am looking forward to seeing what you create out of those beautiful fabrics. Our July heat wave appears to have ended. That is not to say we won't have another one in August. Our summers are short here, so I don't grumble too much about the heat. There is a beautiful, resfreshing rain this morning that is supposed to last for a day or two. Hope your sew jo returns soon. 🌻🌻🌻 Bernadette
Hello Bernadette, always lovely to hear from you. Oh yes, those heat waves.. horrible alright. At least it doesnt go on for too long for you. Thanks for your comments, happy sewing
Lovely fabrics. We went to NY to celebrate my 50th, I am now 72. Sadly it was a time when I hadn’t sewn for a few years so didn’t visit the fabric district. However I do regularly visit Liberty and I have a few pieces that I really should sew up. My grandmother trained as a dressmaker at Liberty and her sister trained as a Milner. Every time I go I imagine my grandma climbing that staircase. ❤️
Hello, thank you for your comments. You have such a strong historic connection to Liberty and dressmaking. So glad for you that you can visit whenever you are nearby. I can only imagine your der grandma on that beautiful staircase at Liberty. Happy sewing
Sooo good to have you back. Those fabrics were beautiful. Wow it's a long trip. I've never left the country. It sounds amazing that you had so long to really look around. Future goals. So lovely to see you again ❤ ❤
Hi Katrina, Thank you kindly for your lovely comments. I am glad to bve back and still processing all the details of the trip, which is what happens I guess. Happy sewing !
Love your fabrics Deb. That would have been amazing going to Mood and Liberty shops. Glad you had a lovely holiday and look forward to seeing what you make.
What a fantastic holiday you have had. Your 1st Tana lawn a skirt and blouse or a dress. It’s too nice for just a blouse alone. Orange and blue linen….WOW I love it…want it. lol. I love blue. The sheer fabric would nice in the patina blouse . Love the abstract piece. The pink is fabulous. I loved them all. Good on you Deb. Can’t wait to see the fabrics made up.
Sounds like you had a wonderful trip Deb. Your fabrics are beautiful, so lucky to have gone to both Liberty and Mood, not jealous much 😂😂. Cannot wait to see your fabrics made up, have a great sewing week, Deb
Hi Deb, thanks for your comment, always great to hear from you. Hopefully your sewing room set up is going well. Looking forward to seeing you soon online. Happy sewing
Your blogs haven’t come to me for ages so am so happy to be “found “ again, Deb. That first linen is to die for! Love the others as well. Marg in Lake Macquarie.
Hi Marg, so glad you checked back into the vlog. If you wish to, you can click on the bell and the subscriber area and you should not miss any more! Hope to hear from you in the future. Happy sewing
Hi Deb! What a treat this AM over my morning coffee to see your beautiful fabric purchases from your epic trip!! Thank you for sharing. I vote for the Patina blouse for your Liberty fabric. The open neck will give you necklace options and I'm not sure how the Pussybow bow will lay in the Tawna Lawn. Can't wait to hear more about your trip!
Thank you kindly for your lovely comments and pattern suggestions. I think you are right, the Patina Blouse will look lovely in the Liberty fabric! Happy sewing !
You are right about the Fashion Institute of Technology being amazing! One thing that surprises most folks is that FIT is actually part of our public State University of New York system here in New York and thus tuition is much more affordable than the outstanding private schools such as New York University (NYU). Admission is highly competitive but having a degree from FIT can open doors in the best ateliers. I live about 3 hours away (by train or bus) from the city in rural upstate NY and watching your video is reminding me that I am overdue for a city shopping trip! It will be a bit sad though since Swatch the dog at Mood is no longer there, having crossed the Rainbow Bridge 2 years ago. Thanks for sharing❤️
Hello, THank you for your wonderful detailed comments about the FIT in NYC. So interesting that it is a public State Uni - I am not surprised it is so hardt o get into with the high competition, and the degree being so worthwhile and well recognised in the industry. Aww what a shame that Swatch the doggie is no longer at Mood, I would have loved to meet him/her. Have a great adventure next time you go and think of me!!
Hi Deb, the dresses and fabric are beautiful. I am originally from New York. ❤ I am so glad you had a wonderful vacation! Have a blessed weekend happy sewing. I think the Patina blouse would be great for that fabric.
Thank you, will see what I end up deciding on, I love the Patina Blouse it looks so lovely. It doesnt always sit nicely though...... that is often the hard part for me!! Decisions, decisions!
Thé pimpant blouse is nice the tutorial is in French but between that and the instructions it’s ok !theMilender Dress is lovely and easy to ware love em all
Thanks for your pattern suggestions. I have the pattern for the Melinder Dress already, so that may be a dress I choose, depending on fabric recommendations of course. Happy sewing
Great to see you and all that beautiful fabric. I thnk the Liberty would look smashing in the new Fabric godmother top that ties at the front I can"t remember the name but someone will know. xx
Thank you for the nudge to go to Liberty! I’ll be in London in October and have been internally debating whether it’s worth going or not. I’m now leaning heavily toward a strong yes! I’m glad you had a fun trip!

Thank you for your suggestion on a pattern for the Liberty Fabric. I shall see what really speaks to me,.... decisions, decisions!
We may have nearly run into each other in Liberty; I was there in September 2024! Bought myself some fabric to make a dress.
Oh, that would have been fun! I love Liberty. 🙂
Thank you for the nudge to go to Liberty! I’ll be in London in October and have been internally debating whether it’s worth going or not. I’m now leaning heavily toward a strong yes! I’m glad you had a fun trip!
Hi Erin, I hope you do get time to go and visit Liberty while in London. It is so inspiring to visit, even if you dont buy anything! Have fun
