H&L Fabric Superstore

Thread is flying in the Toymaker's Workshop. I'm working on my first sewn toy pattern, something simple for kids to make.

Yesterday I went to H&L fabric warehouse in Anaheim. It's a supermaket of fabric.

   
I could have gone crazy but I like to have a pattern in mind before I start loading up on material.
 


I thought this strange bird fabric was cool but didn't buy it because I couldn't think of anything to make with it. Maybe the lining of a jacket? What do you think? Suggestions?





I also liked this teal print  too, but again, wasn't sure what to make with it so I put it back.


 
These are the three fabrics that I ended up buying teal knit for a top, pink satin to make my mom a pillowcase and a yard of paprika colored lace to use for trim.



I made this yesterday, a long knit lightweight jacket in cranberry with plum voile trim. Snazzy! Bring on the cold weather.

May your seams be straight!

Marilyn.
