When I was in NYC a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon an amazing shop (Daytona Braids and Trimmings at 251 West 39th Street) specializing exclusively in sewing trims. Ribbons, ric-rac, fringes, sequins, lace, velvet, rhinestones, jacquards, and so much more. Considering that I live in a rural area and feel lucky to find any quality fabrics or notions locally, entering a shop in New York's garment district is almost too much to handle. I kept thinking that I should buy more, because when would I next get the chance? I restrained myself, buying the ribbons above and some very sweet velvet ribbon in blues and grays. To tell you the truth, I didn't even venture into the back half of the store. I keep wondering what other treasures I might have found.
I made up a few zipper pouches with some of the Japanese prints I recently got from Super Buzzy. They are 9 inches wide. Some of my new trim snuck in there. Can you see it?
Happy weekend to you all.
