Just going to share a couple. My mom's computer doesn't have good editing software, so these are really grainy.

First is me, Shannon, Suzanne, Shelia and Jayme. The second is Suzanne lounging on the fabric Shannon, Suz and I bought. Yes, all those black bags are fabric :shake: The sad thing is Suz left about 600 yds behind to be shipped!

:drop: that's a sewing mama's version of heaven right? <sigh>

wow, drool and sniff sniff 'its beautiful'

Sarah

I'm so jealous! :tear: Looks like you guys had a great time!

AND I could *swear* that there's a bolt of fabric just behind you (Allison) that is the same as Suz's skirt. Am I imagining this? :lol:

I'm so jeaolous & I can't believe you all didn't invite me! :shake:





















;) :lol: I'm SO there next time!

How fun! So what was the average $ per yard?

:tear: I miss all the good times.

OMgoodness!! Looks like a fun time :) !!

Looks like so much fun. I wish we could have made it.

AND I could *swear* that there's a bolt of fabric just behind you (Allison) that is the same as Suz's skirt. Am I imagining this? :lol:

Nope, you are right. Except hers is a heavier weight. I bought some of that one. The one that Shelia is hugging is the cord that I made my jacket out of. It was in the car.

Average price really depends. The cheapest yardage we bought that day was .80 (cotton velour), the most expensive was $6 (silk dupioni). Most was $1 - $2 though.

I had brought a list of things I wanted to buy and I found all of them :cuc:

That first photo is one that could be used to show how sewing is for hip, young, beautiful women these days!

Oh, it looks like you had fun :).

That looks like lots of fun! :)

I'm probably the only one here that doesn't know, but.......where did you go shopping?!?

Oops, sorry. LA Fashion District.

How fun!

6.00 silk duponi??? :drop::wah: WHY do I have to live on the other side of the country! I so need some silk for drapes and refuse to pay 30.00 a yard

looks like you guys had a fabulous time-- did I mention that I was jealous? ;)

WAAAAAAA I am SO jealous... :(

Lol! Yes, I am hugging it! I just really like that one. I think it was my favorite one from the trip. I was going to sell some but I don't think I can part with any of it right now.

Allison, where are you now? Have you left CA?

It was a really fun day! Let's do it again soon.

I'm in Arizona right now. I'll be back in CA next Monday. So, who is up for fabric shopping on Tuesday :lol:

boohoo, is there a fashion district in kcmo? :lol: no fair for those of us who live *over the rainbow* when do we get to come have fun ;)

Ahhhh.... I love LA! :heart:

Wish I could have been there!!!!!

My sewing room may never recover. Between Baby Lulu, Baby Nay and this trip... sigh... It was a lot of fun but I am feeling overwhelmed with all the fabric. Did I mention that EvieJean and I went back on Saturday because I goofed cutting something out and had to get another piece. :rolleyes:

Ooooo how fun! :D

Ugh...I would have loved to have gone...wah!!!! So does this mean I have to go shopping all by myself if I get to go to LA in May?

Candy, I'm sure you could find some volunteers to keep you company while you shop. :)

I had soooooo much fun

That looks so much fun! I wish I could have gone, but I got a digital camera instead... I've only been down there once. It does look like wonderful time!!

I love the picture of Suzanne on top of the bags of fabric. ;)

So, was this a big sale weekend or is there always good deals like that? If there's always cool deals, I'm moving to CA. lol I go to the NY fabric district but everything is way expensive. :tear: I'm jealous of you guys always getting cool fabrics and having so many Hancock fabrics there when i only have 2 measly ones here and 1 of them has a bunch of airheads that don't know what knit is. So I'm going to Cape Cod this Sumer, anyone know if there's any cool fabric stores around there? My SO will leave me there if I make him go fabric shopping on vacation LOL

I'm in Arizona right now. I'll be back in CA next Monday. So, who is up for fabric shopping on Tuesday :lol:

:cuc: I might be- but will have kid's underfoot.

Do you have any more of those jeans buttons? I would take some off your hands on Tuesday if you do. Oh, but then again, if I do go downtown again I can get my own!! ;)

I have about 500 left :shake: I'll bring you some.

No, that wasn't a sale, that is the regular prices. You never know what you will find though.

I'd still like to do M&L on tuesday with Rolie but we have to wait and see if we have the pox. Call me a terrible mother, but I'm not going to stay home for three weeks waiting to see *if* he gets it. Obviously if he gets it I can't come.

Ok - I'm coming Tuesday - just got the official word :0) I'm not spending the night though...so it will be a quickie trip. I'll have Emma too...I may save M & L for another day...when Emma can stay with my folks. Of course...if you all decide to go, I wouldn't have a problem, lol!

Woo hoo, Candy!

I'm not going to do M&L on Tuesday. I just can't risk the temptation. I've bought an obsene amount of fabric recently. :rolleyes:

Oh good!!! Me too Shannon :shake:

I'm so jealous!!

:D 9 more days, 9 more days, 9 more days...

Argggg I wanna go!!! I live 2 hours away from LA and have no idea where these places are LOL I need addreses people!

If you all can't/don't want to come to M&L then I can't come. Its just too far on a school day to go any further.
