Field trip!

I decided to take a field trip today to one of my all time fabric stores, High Fashion Fabrics. 
It's an amazing store full of thousands of fabrics dedicated to garment sewing, but don't be upset that they didn't include home interior fabrics because right across the street is High Fashion Home.  Which is equally as awesome but not what I was interested in today.
I ventured downtown today in search of some pretty jersey knit and a bit of lace to make a scarf for a friend's birthday. I found the knit but was disappointed with the lace. I just don't truly understand how I couldn't find what I wanted....maybe I was just being too picky. After all just look what I had to work with. 
I could only sneak one picture because they really don't like you taking photographs in the store, but you can get a feel for what's inside by this quick snap shot.  They have the most beautiful silks and laces, and silk laces.  Right in the forefront of the picture are a few bolts of bridal lace, the one on top was $119 a yard!  I would LOVE to get my hands on a bit of that.

If you're ever in Houston, you should definitely take a trip to High Fashion Fabrics, or High Fashion Home, or both if you can swing it...you'll be in for a real treat.

Happy Sewing!
