Everything was gorgeous but I definitely had the same feeling you used to - that B&J was too rich for my blood! Now that I'm more experienced I probably would be less intimidated by some of the prices, but it's great to be reminded that they do have some more affordable fabrics. You've changed my mind!Emoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680450435990927972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-53272774040990066542010-11-03T18:38:44.253-04:002010-11-03T18:38:44.253-04:00Hi LindsayT

Here are some suggestions:<br /><br />Where to go in the Garment District or its environs* for<br /><br />--Fabric and trim for a Chanel-style suit;<br />--High-quality tailoring supplies;<br />--Sew-in and fusible interfacing (The closing of Greenberg and Hammer creates a big vacuum);<br />--Thread;<br />--Sportswear fabric;<br />--Hardware;<br />--Specialty work, e.g., pleating, embroidery.<br />--Muslin.<br /><br /><br />*The GD officially ends around 34th Street. But obviously, there are useful stores below it and elsewhere.Broderie Americainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-2871521963350793892010-11-03T16:16:25.317-04:002010-11-03T16:16:25.317-04:00The last time I went to B & J, several months ...The last time I went to B & J, several months ago, they also had a great selection of cotton batik fabric for about $12 a yard.<br /><br />And somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they have the best selection of Liberty of London Tana Lawn in the City. In addition to the cotton, they had some L of L jerseys and corduroy.<br /><br />I always feel less overwhelmed there then at Mood, and I'm also a bit afraid of dogs, so the Mood mascot doesn't help.Broderie Americainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-42731562416818041432010-11-03T15:29:10.380-04:002010-11-03T15:29:10.380-04:00I just picked up what I think will be an awesome r...I just picked up what I think will be an awesome raincoat pattern (Sewing Workshop Soho Coat--sample looked great in the store), so I'll be interested to hear what fabric you pick.
