The French Seam ~ Fabric Store

The beginning of November Travis and I went on a couples shopping trip for a weekend.  This year we went to Indianapolis.  I think I blogged about some of the stuff I bought.  But I never got around to blogging the best shopping spot we stopped at!  Well, the best to me anyway!!

It was a fabric store called 'The French Seam'.  Way cool name for a fabric shop:)

One of my purchases was this absolutely delightful laminated fabric. 

Don't know for sure what I am going to do with it but it seemed like a great fabric to have laying around for when inspiration hit.

This piece is 90% wool.  I normally don't EVER wear wool.  It itches.  A LOT!

But this piece is super high end wool.  (The price tag proved it!)

I just could not leave it there.  I actually just made this into a skirt yesterday.  And I plan to wear it to church tomorrow.  It's a little more of a green/yellow than it looks here.  It sort of changes with the lighting.  I made it short - EEEEEEK!  Well, short for me.  It's still below my knee so technically not a short skirt.  But a GREAT friend of mine has been telling me for years that tights are a good thing.  I didn't believe her.  I finally gave in and tried them because not all of my clothes this fall/winter are to my ankles.  Thus, I NEEDED tights.  And my friend was right.  I was wrong.  I love those things:)

So I will be sporting a whole new look for me.  I hope it's a good thing.

(pics of the skirt will be coming sometime soon.)

Another piece of laminated fabric that was marked down a little.  I can't get enough of the laminated stuff:)

Amy Butler's new line of fabric is called 'Lark'. 

As soon as I saw that I knew I had to buy a piece from the line for Middle Sister.

This is the one The French Seam carried that I thought looked the most like her.

It will be made for spring.  Hopefully.

And this lovely linen ribbon.  Pricey.  But Oh so fun!
