Yup!

I hope to see you there! If you’ve ever wanted one of my Ecco dyed scarves, I’ll have a great selection plus some other seen items.

You know the saying “use your treasured items, don’t save them for that special occasion”, well, it took me over 20 years to finally do this…
I bought this very expensive fabric on my first shopping trip to the fabric district, in NYC, well over 20 years ago. I absolutely fell in love with it, but my families reaction wasn’t what I expected, so my bubble was burst. I spent more on it than an annual clothing budget! I’ve taken it out of my “stash” many times, only to put it back yet again. I finally got up the nerve to cut out a pattern for a kimono jacket, only to find it was the worse fabric I’ve ever seen with!! It frayed from every cut side, so stay tape was necessary to stabilize it and French seams finished were required. Now to make a pair of loose pj style pants to go with it (in the solid color rendition of the fabric)…I’m NOT looking forward to it!!🥴
