An Ode to Fabulous Fabric

Just wanted to share with you 

a bit of the fun i had today

 at my favourite place in Beijing - 

Mu Xi Yuan  ( the wholesale fabric market).

Those of you who have been here before 

will know that i LOVE this place. 

Covers a huge area, 

 is dirty, 

disorganised,

 piled high with bolts  

and endless possibilities

Oh the decisions to be made....

That is Phuong top left and me bottom right and my favourite fabric guy in Beijing helping us.

i would have bought the whole bolt of this amazing fabric (below)

if only

 i could think of how to justify it

so i bought 3 yards and 

then went back and bought 5 more 

and may just decide to go back and

 buy the rest.

Does a fabric ever have this effect on you?

Some of the softest satinised cottons

ready to be turned into 

tiny outfits for my granddaughter

who is expected to appear

in June

in Texas ... 

and could very well be appearing on this blog 

in just a matter of months

wearing one of these very fabrics.

There will never be a time 

when I won't need 

to buy fabric -

 that's one thing I know for sure.
