You know your a fabric whore when...

[Black Syren]

Very nicely done GoF, however, I think we should possibly expand to trims and buttons and recently on CraigsList I found someone selling ostrich feathers a dollar a pack or 300.00 for the whole birds feathers. I still have the number for that one if anyone is intrested for hats and such.

EDIT:::::: Since I am off to work figured I would put the info here.

One entire ostrich's feathers. The whole batch $300.00 or $1.00 a pack. I also have a few Pheasent, turkey and parrot. Great for costumes or craft projects.

e mail or call 512-878-6297.

I be guilty of all them things listed.

I even went with a group of costumers to the Los Angeles Fabric District and had a very hard time sticking to my list of two types of fabrics I was looking for. Prices are AMAZING! I paid $8/yard for imported Belgian Linen.

Dang it! I knew LA had a fabric district. Can you tell me where to go. Next time I'm over there I'll definitely rent a car and go. Oh no, another "you know you a fabric whore."

Here is a link to the LA Fashion District. http://www.fashiondistrict.org/

Most of the fabric stores were located in a cluster of several square blocks.

LMAO! Thanks for pointing this one out. I may have posted her already. But hell, I can't help but posting this.

Ye know yo'r a fabric whore when....

... ye see a fabric store and HAVE to stop by to see what they have. Hoping to dear God they have some 100% linen, even some fine 100% cotton (like a belguim cotton), or even a fine silk and yeah I suppose wool. Maybe some velveteen.... any period style calicos in 100% cotton or jacquard or damask.

And better yet, when you find it, see if it's on sale. When it's on sale ye wonder if you can find and get more.

.... ye find some fabric that would look period enough and wonder "Do I have enough for a frock? Or breeches? How about a waistcoat?" or worse yet... "what can I make with this?"

.... when fabric store employees know you well enough by name and WHY you are there.

.... when you have a discount card and use it on average 5 times a week.

..... ye wish ye had more money to buy more yardage.

..... always stopping by to see if they have something for ye to use even if ye don't have the money. LOL

At some point when I'm in better condition....hopefully later on this year....I plan on going up to the Fabric District in L.A.

Perhaps at that time, we could get a group together to go.....that would be fun!

[LadyBarbossa]

Oooo... lucky ye, Rumba.

Hmmm, a group of mad-cap pyrates wondering into LA's fashion district with a glazed look in one's eyes....this could be trouble....Rumba...BIG TROUBLE.

.... when fabric store employees know you well enough by name and WHY you are there.

Oh yes...I know that feeling,...I feel like Norm from Cheers when I enter on my lunch break on Friday afternoons!

.... when you have a discount card and use it on average 5 times a week.

Yes, I have done this...until Wal-Mart did away with their "Double Tuesday" points.

..... ye wish ye had more money to buy more yardage.

Yes...very much so...especially imported silk...

..... always stopping by to see if they have something for ye to use even if ye don't have the money. Or the time to make something else...by now, you already have 3 or 4 projects that are in the on-going stage...what's one more on the pile?!
