The shop is located in the recently renovated Brick Works area on Marietta Street, next to the very yummy Toscano and Sons.
Mmm there was this adorable popcorn cart outside!
Love his handmade shirt and her Liberty bag.
On Friday, they kicked things off with a viewing of Handmade Nation. In the lull before the documentary, I ooh-ed and ahh-ed over the assortment of brightly hued patterns and prints. They carried so many of my favorites!! A vast collection of Alexander Henry, Anna Maria Horner, and Robert Kaufman among many other amazing designer prints.
Bolts and bolts!
I loved this piece on display. A perfect way to showcase some incredible prints!
The displays were very eye-catching.
I was also super excited to hear that sewing, quilting, and serging classes would be offered. I have been dying to invest in an industrial machine but haven't had a good enough reason to, until now.
Ooh and the sewing lounge itself is super cozy. This feels like the perfect place to go to feel inspired and have access to all the materials and wisdom you need to complete a project!
I suppose a post wouldn't be complete without a reference to what I wore yesterday. Here is an outtake I decided to be brave and post for you, loyal fans.
Outfit details:
J. Crew Suckered Gingham Perfect Shirt (the look for less: here and here)

If you are in the area, you should pop by! The shop is everything I could have ever asked for. Check it out while they're in full swing this weekend!

Damn! I almost went to the grand opening, but I was too lazy. I can't wait to go check it out.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad you were part of it! I'm so proud and excited of the new shop, and it's so thrilling to hear that YOU are, too--can't wait to see you back, and please let us know what we can do to make the store even better for you!

Thanks for blogging about this, I totally didn't know.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this will be the push I need to get into sewing stuff for myself - I whine constantly about not knowing how - maybe I'm out of excuses!
Ooh, I love everything I see in there! Unfortunately, I have absolutely NO clue how to sew. It's one of those things that I want to learn when I have some spare time... whenever that will be!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! And is the guy by the popcorn maker wearing a handmade shirt made from DINOSAUR PRINT FABRIC? Because it certainly looks like it and I am very excited about that!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this tutorial?

I thought you might be interested since you love anthro and like to sew!
I'm planning on making the dress myself.
Looks like a great store! Fun fabrics!
