Today I stopped by Hickeys to have a look around. There were big SALE notices all around the windows so I figured why not? I was completely underwhelmed. There was very little choice and I wasn't the biggest fan of the sales associate I encountered. I had this idea to look for a jersey material to make a long tank top/dress out of and she directed me towards some polyester monstrosity. When I told her that wouldn't suit and told her what I was planning on making, you'd swear someone passed sour milk under her nose. And that's the face she made every time I asked her a question. I only asked about 3.
On the plus side though I did manage to pick up 2 really cute fabrics for some project yet to come to me as well as some plain red cotton to make a maxi dress from. I already have some intensely floral material on a red background I was eying up for the bust part so now I am ready to go. Hopefully I will have this made in the next few weeks for a birthday party I'm going to.
On an even better note I stopped into Silkes One Stop Stationery on Catherine St to get out of the rain. I love that store. The people in there are so nice. There is so much to look at and the prices are very reasonable. Love it. I spent about 30 minutes just meandering about looking at nothing and everything.
I really do need to find its equivalent in a fabric store.
