Superbuzzy

I've been in "school mode" this past week, which is extra hectic since I am already in "busy mode" all of the time. Here's a quick update in photos and not so many words.

What I've been up to...

Attending rad theme parties. With awesome themed SNACKS.

Taking tons of snaps in homemade photobooths. Harajuku style!


Tracking down the perfect chunk of the pattern for this skirt. All horses on the front!


Waiting (im)patiently for all the fall boot options to show up in stores. On a mission!


Building up my fabric stash for future crafty goodness. Who wants a handmade nifty gifty?


Drinking Mexican Coke in the park. Mmm taste that pure cane sugar!


Enjoying the last days of summer. Summer is for best friends and perfecting your smize.

Whipstitch: Fabric Shop and Sewing Lounge

When I heard that Whipstitch was opening this weekend in West Midtown, I got ridiculously excited. I've perused the Etsy shop before, but didn't realize a brick and mortar location was opening so soon or so nearby! Even though I already have yards and yards of fabric stashed away, I had to go check it out.

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.
