jason and i finally visited the japanese fabric shop in downtown torrance. (sadly, and i mentioned this to jason as we drove to momen+, that i’ve lived in torrance since i was 8 and never once had i gone to downtown torrance…)
anyways, momen+ was magical! haha.
but seriously, japanese fabric is oh so adorable! they had pretty flowery ones, more traditional prints, as well as ones with kawaii frogs/pigs/deer/bears/etc. they were all so beautiful, i couldn’t get over it. the store imports the fabric from japan so the fabric was pretty expensive, mostly around $17-19 a yard. but! they had a lot of pre-cut fat quarters, which i bought a few of. i sew so infrequently (although i’ve done a lot of sewing since i got my craft room!) and when i do, i usually make random little things, like pouches and stuff. so a fat quarter is plenty of fabric for my small projects, and they were only $2 each! i got this pretty green one with cute pigs and one with teddy bear faces. i’m not sure yet what i’m going to make with them, but i have been wanting to make another makeup bag, so one of these will go towards that.
they also had cute appliques, zippers, thread, etc. overall it was a super fun visit and i can’t wait to go back!
i do want to try sewing a quilt sometime in the future, and i’ll definitely be utilizing the adorable fabrics at momen+ when that happens! i’ll just have to convince jason to overlook the cost somehow… or just buy more fat quarters. 🙂
