FABRIC ROW!!!!

Fabric row is an amazing section of Philly... and IMO the best reason to go to Philly... fabric store after fabric store... cottons, slinky knits, velvets, leathers, notions, buttons... appliques... rhinestones... I could go on and on... like the fabric stores on fabric row... on and on!!! I didn't even come close to even going in half of these stores... they were not very expensive either! I got these oop Kwik sew patterns for 98 cents... and these awesome 'furry' buttons for a dollar a piece...



I got this beautiful green sparkly Lycra fabric for a bellydance costume... it will be fierce!




Same with this amazing black and gold... but I got enough of it to make a hot top too!!!


(at the bottom)And this velvety black knit with the white strip (I'm thinking pants!)
Got The Bald Man this stripped shirting fabric... its a great cotton with about 3% spandex... which should give a great fit!
The black and white piece at the bottom is SOOOO hot!! Its a sheer black stretch and the white
pieces aren't sewn all the way on... giving it a floaty feel.... I'm thinking skirt... long skirt!!!
I also bought 3yds of this beautiful black slinky with a floral black print and some light green pleather with embroidery and eyelets cut into it... it will be a great purse (need to take pic of it)....
Now for the time to make it all!!!!!!!!

Tunisian and Tapestry crochet on the hooks

It seems that no matter what or how many projects I have going one is always Tunisian and one is always a tapestry or fair isle type with color changes or pictures.  I love this tapestry handbag. It’s going to be The perfect bag for October!! The pattern was included in a booklet that cane with a Simply Crochet magazine from the UK. It’s eating a lot of yarn so Caron one pound yarn is perfect! Cause there’s a lot of it and it’s an easy care for acrylic. Handbags tend to get thrown around a lot so washable with all this white is super important when I was choosing a yarn.  I’ll be adding a liner too. And pockets .. I can not have a bag without inside pockets!  For oh so long I’ve wanted to try the double hook Tunisian technique. I have Lily Chins dvd on it but she’s way over my head at this point! This simple pattern is in Interweave crochet magazine fall 2018. Great pattern to get started with!  The Bavarian blanket is still on a hook and will be a long time because ...

Now how many people out there know what they are??? Was I alone at not knowing??? Then we Had a bottle of bubbles... And then, I admit, came home at 11 and went to bed! I was asleep before 12!! and it makes me feel like an old fuddy duddy ! haha !! But who cares!
