But.... yesterday was fun - the wool shop - I was looking for dark grey cotton yarn for edging some cards - amongst this lot, but there was none. The shop had a second wall nearly full of tapestry kits, I've never seen them for sale here. It was a 'new' shop to me.
Then a walk up 'Bursa Pasage' I've spotted this enclosed alley a while back, but never managed to get there - It was illuminating - there was a umbrella repair shop, several small haberdashers, different fabric stores - and one I shopped in. I want to make T1 a couple of skirts for school. I like this pattern, but am kicking myself as they had some fine pink needle cord - I wish I'd got a meter. Then onto the outlet place I like - they often have nothing but I got lucky, where I got 3 'Boden' tops for less than a latte each! I was so excited I forgot to go to their kids store down the road... next time...
Then to the 'fancy fabrics' store - this is big and stuffed to the rafters - it has luscious bridal, and fancy evening wear fabrics - and the hugest selection of different qualities of net. T1 'needs' a costume for the big Halloween party - it'll be a variation on a fairy/princess dress - with a sequined boob tube.....and pink of course. T2 wants to be Spider man - which is beyond me - I don't sew Lycra - lets hope he can be persuaded into his 'Zorro' Costume again - with the cape it makes a fabulous Dracula. Of course this was all topped off by a brief stop at my favourite haberdashers for elastic, buttons and ribbon.
