A little fabric porn . . .

Are you jealous? You should be. This is about 40 yards of fabric. Isn’t it pretty? Don’t you want to touch it all?

I love, love, love this bottom orange print. It coordinates really well with a few of the other cotton knits. These have kid pajamas written all over them. And dresses for me.

I love how graphic all the prints are this time. These are super soft beautiful cotton knits too. Usually there isn’t much in the way of cotton at the Swap Meet. This time though, I hit the jackpot of awesome, bright, tribal fabrics. You know you ARE jealous. Almost all the cuts here are two-yard chunks.

I don’t know this manufacturer, but this is who made all the cotton knits. They are just beautiful and soft. They aren’t transparent at all.

Yes, *hangs head*, I did get more animal prints. I couldn’t help it. These fabrics were too fun to resist.

This is one of my favorites. The girls are going to love sweatshirts out of this sweatshirt fleece.

This is from a regular ol’ brick and mortar store. No screamin’ good deals, but much better than Alaska. I chose wisely, so they all coordinate.

Especially how much fun is this green fabric? I love stuff like this for accents on gymnastics leotards.

And how about six yards of doubleknit for $12.00??!? This is really nice thick stuff. I love the graphic black and white. You know you want to hit me now. I’m not sure what I’ll use the stretch vinyl for, but I thought it would be fun too.

If you are ever near here, you should make a pit stop and go fabric shopping. I’m not affiliated at all, but I do recommend them!!! One of the PatternReview.com meet ups should be in San Diego, and you can stop by National City. And make it for when I’m in town . . . .

And I’m back from my cruise. I’ll show you some fun pictures this week. :)

I have actually been there. I drove from Los Angeles on a Saturday Morning just to hit the swap meet and I was not disappointed. Here in LA we have the Roadium, also a swap meet, and on Wednesdays its their fabric days. I do recommend that you bring a basket on wheels, you will walk out with so much fabric from both swap meets and not have to spend a fortune.

NCSM is awesome--I went there in Nov 2013 with Elizabeth based on all your NCSM posts and it did not disappoint. I bought $2 a yard ponte too!! Would LOVE to go back!
