Fabric crawl – Brisbane!

Jan 16, 2012 | A day in my life, Blog

For me, the days of PUB-crawls, are LONG gone!!! NOW I prefer to go on a…

FABRIC-CRAWL! : )

Ribbon - haberdashery

And that’s exactly what Korina (from Korina’s Kreations) and I did this week…

What fun we nearly forgot to stop
for lunch!


We began with a tulle-dash on Spotlight Everton Park, where we got some cute starry tulle for making some Sugar Plum Fairy Ballerina tutus… and I HAVE JUST seen how cute Korina’s goth fairy turned out…

Then we headed to Alderly to check out the new Fabric Fusion store. Sasha was in the middle of a bag-making sewing class, BUT still managed to make us feel welcome, all while teaching her 4 year old to pin and sew a seam???? Is this lady a SUPER MUM or what!!!

Sasha offers sewing classes in her bright, beautiful shop and has lots of great fabrics and projects from beginners to advanced.

(She may even have a crazy lady from Funky Friends Factory run a toy-making class in the not too distant future….)




Then we headed to voodoorabbit’s new showroom in East Brisbane for a fix of slightly ‘out there’ fabric…and not so ‘out there’ Earl Gray tea!

Then it was off to Birch for a fix of haberdashery… and finally home!

What a fabulous day!

Hey! IF you ever head out for a fabric crawl of your own… and you need a partner in crime – you know who to call!!!!!!!!!!!
