ok I know I said I would only purchase 3 pieces of fabric while in NY---but I just couldn't do it. First of all Kashi of Metro Textiles came into the city and opened just for us...I had to patronize him. He has such a marvelous selection too....what's a girl to do!
Well here are the gorgeous fabrics I snagged on my recent trip to the Garment District!!!

| Silky sheer from Metro Textiles - loos great on both sides....notice the difference (left/right) |

| wheat stretch linen with gold metallic threads from Metro Textiles --- I'm thinking Jacket! |
 |

Eyelash leopard knit from Sposabella Lace. This store had some of the most beautiful lace and wedding veils I've ever seen.

| boning, seam binding & zippers - Panda Thread |
Panda Thread was awesome, I don't think I've ever been in this store! Every notion you could imagine!!! 22" invisible zippers 75 cents each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thread...I also purchase a thread designed specifically for sewing leather! Can't wait to try it when I refashion my old black leather dress. Here are some cute bags...I have a small paper one from Mood---can't find it at picture taking time. LOL The bag from B&Js is really nice. I'll get a lot of use out of it! Can't wait until next year's NY shopping excursion. Well back to the prom dresses! Pics coming real soon!

You did the right thing, Tee ;-)
Wow! You have some great fabrics.
Going into the city and coming out with just 3 pieces of fabric would be torture. Glad you had a great time and picked up some really pretty pieces.
Understandable why you had to get more than 3 fabric. I love the pink lace, grey stretch satin and the yellowish silky sheer. Guess you are on to stash busting now. :-)
Nice selections! How could you resist? :-). Who can resist a .75 cent zipper? :-)
I'm glad that you had a great time.
I'm glad you came to your senses you deserve every piece of fabric that you bought and more. Glad you had a great time.
You got some really great fabrics! It was a pleasure meeting you. I had a great time on the trip. I got some great fabric too! Look forward to doing it again next year!
