- Taking a short break from my tudor fantasy project to visit family in Los Angeles and I wanted to share some of my trip and fabric shopping in the LA fashion district! I went shopping specifically for my upcoming Bridgerton dress series, so watch to the end for a fabric haul! I got lots of beautiful lace and brocade and talk about the different stores you can find and the general shopping experience in LA. I had a ton of fun getting to pick fabric out and letting all of the variety inspire me!

The shade of your green linen is gorgeous, it will make a beautiful cottagecore dress. I love how cohesive the rest of the color scheme is. That second grey lilac lace is out of this world. I would probably be afraid to touch it for the rest of the eternity, but you're way braver than me luckily. The Baby Bat pillow is adorable!
Fear of ruining expensive fabrics was one of the things I had to get over really quickly working in costume studios! Some of the fabric we used was over $150 a yard, that was always very nerve wracking to cut into 😭
You could make an entire series about your interactions with Valentine and I would watch it. Hilarious! Then again, that would involve you seeing him over and over and I would not want you to suffer (or to have to move). Thanks for the heads up about him!
omg haha thank you but definitely no thank you, twice a year is more than enough of him!
I'm so glad you were able to get together with your family for something other than sorrow. And aren't bear hugs just the most amazing thing.
The filming and editing on this is just so good - fantastic back and forth between the vocal story line and the image clips. Spot the B&W photographer trying to figure out how this works in a moving format... laughing.
Mister Dude in the fabric store that will literally walk through the entire place, roll by roll? That man is an investment in time, absolutely. But he's also one hell of a resources you can turn into a teacher. When he's badmouthing the other fabric you bought - lean into it with a smile. And he will talk (& talk & talk) over 50 years of fabric history and how the industry has changed. Also - never ever go with the first price he offers. If you do it will ruin his day with "damn, should have started higher"...
If it were any other circumstance than a Pandemic I'd be tempted to show up, 10 minutes after opening, with some cups of coffee, some cheese Danishes and be prepared to just let him do his thing... Two shot camera - one on a tripod (2 of you on stools, over your shoulder at him), the other vlogging through the store, intercut between the both... nightmare to edit. But it would be one hell of a doc. And a heck of a discount on any fabric you fall in love with. Apparently I'm spitballing ideas today?
Your fabric choices are beautiful. All the very best of the Day to you and yours. Enjoy. Now go pour some rum in that eggnog...

thank you! haha he definitely knows a lot about fabric, if I ever have a lot of time on my hands maybe I'll see if he's up for an interview! Happy holidays! hmm how did you know I was drinking eggnog in my coffee today? haha
@@moth.faerie Eggnog. It's the only Real regulation everyone should follow for the day.
Enjoy!
It would be great if you could make a video of you making something out of the green linen! You are so talented and I am very exited to see what garment you make next!
Aah ok I will definitely make a video when I get to the linen! My next video is about the farthingale for my tudor project!
Those are some beautiful fabrics! I really really love the lilac lace. I'm a sucker for pretty lace lol.
Also can we take a second to appreciate the time and effort you put in to make you videos so well paced and aesthetically pleasing?! Excellent work!
aah thank you so much, I was actually not feeling so confident about this video so I appreciate your comment! and yess the lilac lace is AMAZING i saw it and immediately wanted it haha
I’m so sorry for your loss. But it’s also great your able to see friends and family. That ramen looked amazing yummy. Just wish that I had amazing fabric stores along with sparkle.
Thank you ❤️ I wish I had this kind of fabric district closer to me too! Kind of a pain to drag all this fabric back to the other side of the country haha
Pausing at the pushy store owner to say I CANNOT stand that kind of behavior. There are shops in the NYC garment district I rarely go to because I hate pushy salesman. That said, no one has ever bad mouthed my prior purchases and I wouldn't stand for such rudeness!! What nerve!!
And yes... would also love to see a green linen video.
pausing again because you mention how uncomfortable it made you and how you don't trust that the fiber content is what he said it was. I feel this distrust with pushy salespeople too and is another reason why I avoid them. If they are known to bad mouth things that you have purchased elsewhere, presumably out a misplaced sense of competition, and can't be trusted to sell you something that is the quality they claim it is, I would definitely avoid them.
ah yeah the main reason i still go to that store is because they do always have really beautiful lace! not that the other stores don't, but a lot of the other stores skew a lot more prom dress/really modern with their beaded lace whereas his store is usually a little more elegant. i'm also not in LA very often so thankfully I don't have to deal with him very frequently!
I love that green linen. Please make a video!
haha lots of votes for video, thank you!
This was a very fun video to watch while sewing. I loved seeing your day to day activities, as well as the fabric haul. The filming and editing quality is some of the best that I have seen, keep up the great work :D
Oh I'm so glad you liked it! I was worried it wasn't going to be as interesting since I usually do sewing videos 😅 thank you for watching!
I really hope you’ll do a video for that green linen - it’s so lovely!! Also, I appreciate the introverted shopper’s breakdown of the stores because vibe is definitely a huge factor in whether shopping is enjoyable or not for me 😳
definitely going to do a video on the green linen! i'm hoping to turn it into a spring-y cottagecore dress! haha i feel you on the vibe - i view the shop with the aggressive store owner as more of a shopping experience i need to defeat to get the good treasure rather than an enjoyable experience on its own 😅
This was fun also fabric shopping is like a plus to watch anytime
thank you for watching! i'm glad you liked it!
Condolences on your family's loss.. These are such gorgeous fabrics. Hope you had a great holiday season.
thank you so much, I appreciate it 💕 happy holidays to you too! (and thank you for sharing my video on fb!)
I am excited to see what you make with all these gorgeous fabrics. Also, I am sorry for your loss and wish you safe travels
thank you! i'm excited to get started with the new fabrics!! gotta finish frau first though haha
Great insights. There’s a local store near me where the owner is similarly pressuring. Always better to know before you go.
yeah it was definitely jarring the first time I went to that store! Personally I prefer the more hands off experience that lets me come to them with questions, but they definitely have some of the best fabric!
lace and fabrics is my favorite shop in the fabric district
I'll check them out next time! thank you!
Happy Asian American Native Hawaiian 🌺 and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Minji Lee 🎉❤
I live in a town of 4000 in Northern Wisconsin. To me, LA looks like a strange fairy tale! For that matter, non-quilting fabric stores seem like a pipe dream. Also, I love the story-telling in your videos. (I sense a theme!)
I think I would like a quick bit on how you decide what you're going to make from the green linen when you get around to it, because stories?
I grew up in Ohio so I feel you! It's aways exciting getting to go to a big city with tons of fabric stores 😊Once I get around to making something with the linen I'll be sure to make a video and go through my idea process! it involves lots of pinterest haha
I currently live in the 2nd biggest city in my country and it’s so fucking hard to find fabric stores that aren’t almost entirely furniture fabric or full of plastic.
Those fabrics are so gorgeous! I love the colours you've chosen, I cant wait to see the resulting outfits 💜
thank you!
I love hauls. It’s fun to see the fabrics and hear the reasons for the choice.
ah well thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That green linnen look similar to the green one i got f1rom my store i. Sweden. Made really wide pants and love them
ah how fun, I'd love to go to Sweden someday!!
Yes green linen yes green linen!! I love your style of videos can't want to see what comes from this haul🤩🤩 so excited for the selkie endeavor they are so amazing
haha thank you for the enthusiasm!!
Gorgeous fabrics the lace is stunning can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm finally with my sewing machine so I plan to sew as much as I can.
yay! I'm so excited for you!
Adding my vote for a green linen video -- your choices are inspiring to other sewists! 👍🏻
aw thank you so much!
OMG! I am sooo sorry to hear about your Grandfather!
thank you 💕
I would love to see a video about the making of the green dress 💚
that seems to be the general consensus so I'll definitely make a video about it sometime in the spring!
A good day of shopping now and then is always nice, and that haul is interesting.
But there will be a price to pay, because Babybat has mastered the villain kitty blink *"Hello Mr Bond, where have you been these past days?"*
Situation is dire!
But no need to panic (yet) because in my experience, the furry deity is susceptible to flattery... Homage...Tribute offered by repentant mom.
Bribes, in other words.
But I think this one is going to cost ya!
haha my price is that she gets to claim all fabric I bring into the house as hers until it becomes a garment
Could you list the fabric shops/areas you went to in this video?!
Ooooh that is such a pretty green linen, I've got a similar one sitting in my fabric stash that I am trying to decide what to make with it (I've already made two aprons with the fabric and still have maybe 4-5 yards left).
The the fabrics you got are wonderful! Love the lacy ones. Cannot wait to see them put together.
That store sounds soooo overwhelming, I usually apricate a little help since I never know which fabrics will work but that just sounds stressful as heck, particularly talking down about the other fabrics you got. Makes sense why you'd need to psych yourself up for that. o.o
ooh you should also make a cute little puff sleeve cottagecore dress and we can MATCH! haha if you do and we're ever in the same area we can have a matching picnic outing 😊
@@moth.faerie I love this idea. If You’re ever in the Portland Oregon area lmk. I do have family in Massachusetts as well, so I’ve been meaning to go to the East Coast at some point.
Can’t wait to see what you design. :)
@@KittieRoses Aah I really want to go to Portland at some point!! Maybe once everything actually dies down and I can go on more vacation-y trips rather than just family trips 😅Massachusetts is unfortunately not actually very close to me haha but I do want to do a new england road trip for the fall sometime!
@@moth.faerie seriously cannot wait for everything to calm down. *insert “it’s been eighty four years” gif here* I miss being social. And I have soooo many trips I would like to do, so many cons I’d like to experience. Katsu con, dragon con, among a long list of others.
Video please
haha noted, thank you
Yikes the store owner sounds.....wow
