They have the most amazing fabrics! So glad you had a chance to visit them in person. So my shoes are from QVC - by Isaac Mizrahi. I have a couple of pair of sneakers from him. Here are mine: https://www.qvc.com/Isaac-Mizrahi-Live%21-Floral-Brocade-Lace-Up-Sneakers.product.A342339.html?sc=SRCH<br /><br />I saw them after I bought the fabric and just knew they would work together so I bought them!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-68813096818073405202018-11-26T20:00:16.741-05:002018-11-26T20:00:16.741-05:00A beautiful and fun sew.

OMG, what a selection of beautiful fabrics and super excellent service! With only 40 minutes (I burned up time finding the place), I settled on 3 French and Italian jacquards and had them shipped to my home in New Mexico. If I had had more time, I'm sure I would have easily doubled my purchase with amazing cottons and knits. Since I live in a very casual state, I get my thrills from wearing fancy fabrics in vests, jackets and cardigans over simple tops and pants. That way I get to sew frosting. But: Where did you get those sneakers?? They match your jacket!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03009998238182749864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-7489482077212910712018-11-26T13:22:29.530-05:002018-11-26T13:22:29.530-05:00I like the look of this jacket; I find yours more ...I like the look of this jacket; I find yours more appealing than pattern envelope.
