Fabric from Europe

Posted by Paulette on Jan 20, 2009 in Sewing |
Found the camera….and here is what I bought!!
There are cottons, silks, wools, wool – blends (wool/cashmere and wool/cashmere/mink), knit jersey, brocades, and lace. I know some are very hard to see but as I work on projects, you’ll get better pics!

I had WAY TOO MUCH fun shopping on Goldhawk Road thanks to Melissa at Fehrtrade.com. Her shopping review was what got me out there! I also shopped at Joel & Son along with Jason’s Fabrics while in London. Joel & Son supplies fabrics to the Queen which I did not know until I went there. The nice thing about Joel & Son was that you could find the designer fabrics you see in the magazines!! They are even oh so helpful to have some of the pictures right next to the bolt!!! Well, wish me luck finding just the right pattern for each piece on the table…and did I mention that I like to quilt too so I already have a closet full of mostly cottons just for that?! :)

Is this all from one trip? Well done my friend. Well. Done.

Wow, that is an impressive haul! You really went all out! I don’t consider myself cheap as far as fabric is concerned, but I have yet to make a purchase at Joel and Sons.

Thanks Claudine!! It was my first time there and I would go back in a heartbeat!! Besides, I look at it this way – when will I get a chance to return?! :)
