I did manage to reel Hanne in, who sadly missed out on the previous blogger meet. She had to leave pretty early on, so Stephanie and I agreed to drag ourselves out of bed early and meet at the train station.
Look! Excitement! |
Stephanie quickly found (and bought) the coolest fabric of the day:
Foxes. On a knit. She said she'd make it into a dress immediately, I'm curious!
It wasn't long before Hanne spotted the seocnd awesome fabric of the day:
Yep, those are flamingos. We made her pose like one as well, because that's what you do in a crowded fabric market! I don't know how many times she said 'flamingos' today (it doesn't sound like an actual word anymore).
Both Hanne and Stephanie found some other goodies, but I didn't really see anything with my name on it. After absent-mindedly petting a black knit with a flocked brocade pattern thinking 'hey that's nice' and then moving on I realised that it WAS a very nice fabric, and that it would make a great wintery mission maxi dress. I went on a search for the fabric but my hungry brain failed to remember where it was and I left without buying anything. Or so I thought. After lunch the girls both took a train home, and I impulsively went back to the market to see if I could find it with food in my belly.
Success!
It's hard to photograph, the fabric is a lot darker and richer looking in real life... It's a very stable knit, and I think it will do perfectly well in my planned fall and winter wardrobe.
tldr: this was an awesome day and we all bought fabric.
