Many of the other stores I've visited on this trip have been less than inspiring, but here I found two cotton sateens that want to be skirts and some shot silk in purple and orange which combination I've been searching for for a few years now. Last time I was here in NY (in 2014) I also got a few yards of grey wool over printed with silver flowers (from which I made a 1940s style suit) which is still there in the back of the store.

She made trims by hand for Chanel, taking threads of the boucle fabric and weaving them into a matching trim. It was wonderful to see them all over in various stages of creation in her workshop.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-19010407520321972192016-05-05T20:19:37.905-04:002016-05-05T20:19:37.905-04:00I love that patchwork fabric!

You know the same salesperson who is always there--he and I have a love/hate. One time he graciously brought me bolts of fabric to browse while I, 8 months pregnant, sat on a stool. On another occasion, he threw me out because I tried to negotiate the price of a navy 4-ply silk. Threw me out!!! But perhaps the most memorable occasion was when I left the most gorgeous grey mohair coating that was only $15/yd. I went back the very next day, and it was all gone. I am still crying over that fabric.

You could title that blog entry, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!". <br /><br />Seeing as you know Senor King, and have a friend who is a Khalje-ite; one wonders how long before worlds collide - vis-a-vis you go to Baltimore for one of Susan's classes?
