fresh fabric

I had the good fortune to find myself in Manhattan on Monday, with a couple hours to shop for fabric.  I was looking for beefy knits in solid colors.  
And this is what I got:
viscose knit jersey
rayon knit jersey 
the upper piece is woven, lower piece is a coordinating knit
light weight stretch cotton woven 
rayon jersey
cotton voile (also comes in a knit which I didn’t see
until I got home and looked at their website)

I didn’t have the right energy to mount a serious search for solid colors, so I let myself drift into emotional shopping.  Perhaps the recent shift to Daylight Savings Time left me feeling a little tired and droopy.

Most of these came from Elliott Berman Textiles in the garment district.  It is a small-ish operation on the 7th floor of an office building, set up more like a warehouse than a shop.  For the quality, the prices are reasonable.  More and more, high quality matters to me.  I suppose my sewing skills have finally become dependable enough to trust that I will not ruin the fabric.  {knock on wood}

My stash is now officially built back up to maximum!  I had sewn it down, but of course, that didn’t last long.

And the world goes round and round, just as it should.
