Sorry for my absense the last few weeks. Life has been extremely hectic but I have to admit it feels great to be too busy again! I am always happiest when I have lots going on and after months of desperately trying to occupy my time in Brooklyn it seems ironic that after 2 weeks in Nashville my plate is full. The most exciting thing I am working on is a new website for Textile Fabric Store. It is by far the best fabric store in town and locally owned and run to boot! The selection there is on par with M&J Trimmings and Mood Fabrics in New York. I thought I would really miss the garment district but Textile has all the bases covered. Number one on my list this Summer is improving dreadful awful sewing skills. I am barely even on beginner level and considering how much I love vintage clothing I could really benefit from a basic knowledge and construction and alterations. I constantly have ideas for original dresses too, so maybe one day I will be able to actually make them! That would be sweet.
I was just up there yesterday. I went a little wild in one of the trim stores, spent well over $200…on sequins, feathers, trim….what in the hell!
it’s so much fun. Nyc Garment district rules.
