Blogger Meetup

A few weeks ago I went to my cousin's wedding and had the chance to meet up with Katie of Kadiddlehopper. 

She took me to Yellow Bird Fabrics, a lovely fabric shop! We just happened to run into Sunni while we were there. She cut our fabric and took our picture for us.

I bought a gorgeous brown wool blend jersey for a summer Renfrew and a stretch cotton remnant which will be a skirt for my daughter.

If you are ever in Salt Lake for a visit, be sure to stop by Yellow Bird. Katie and I petted the Liberty Lawn they had in stock. I didn't understand why it was so coveted until I touched it! It is worth the price, and I think I will be buying some in the near future!

After our fabric shopping, we headed over to Capital City Antique Mall. We were having a great time playing with the vintage cameras when it occurred to me that we should be taking pictures of our adventure. (You can see more pictures over on Katie's post.)

We found quite a few pattern stashes to raid, and I loved seeing them in old suitcases.

I found some sewing machine accessory boxes. This is the one I didn't buy.

There were several racks of vintage clothes, with a few pieces that made us question, "why?"  Here is Katie with one of them.

I did buy a few things at the antique mall. 

I found a few patterns to my liking, but none of them are for me. 

This Simplicity pattern will be great for one of my daughters one day.

Here is a closeup of the Spadea unprinted pattern.

The PJs and robe are perfect for Drew, and the adorable girl's dress will one day (hopefully) be for my a little niece. 

The Singer sewing machine accessories box I bought didn't look that exciting at first, but the top piece came out and revealed a surprise.

This is the lower section with the real goodies!

A binding foot...

...and a ruffler foot. I'm pretty sure these will fit my older machine!

I had such a great time with Katie! She is vibrant, energetic and so lovely. I had a blast! Thanks for showing me around!
