Few things exciting me more than stumbling upon a glorious fabric store--so when I realized I was staying less than a block away from Britex Fabrics on my recent trip to San Francisco, I could hardly contain my joy. This four-story fabric haven is filled to the brim with beautiful and unique finds. But just as intriguing as the fabrics is the wide variety of customers who flock to Britex, so I decided to chat with a few of my fellow fabric shoppers to see what they were planning on making with their newly purchased goods--from bathing suits to bridal gowns, I got nothing but interesting responses!
And here's a little more eye candy for you...
A small section of the button wall:
Mel's beautiful crazy quilt (does anyone recognize the stitches from Quilting Arts first issue?):
And my purchase of the day: a silk-cotton blend with a multi-colored apple print. Too yummy to resist...
Have you ever happened upon a wonderful fabric store while traveling?
