This weekend we went to "Fabric Row," a street in the city lined with fabric stores. I have been keeping my eyes open for some cool fabric to make curtains. I want something fun with color and pattern for our front room, and something neutral and pretty for our bedroom. So when I heard about fabric row I was extremely excited! So off we went.
Heading into the city

Don't love this pic of me, but see this post...gotta get in front of the camera whether I like it or not.
Our first stop. I heard about these stores in Philadelphia Magazine. Loop is a knitting/crocheting store that spins yarn and what not. Spool has fabric for sewing projects. Not just fabric, but cute cute bright, patterned, young fabric. Like these:
So we pulled up to these cute cute sister shops and looked around. They keep a small inventory, but it is all so cute...and a little expensive. Dang. Should have known. So I logged a few cute fabrics in the back of my mind and moved on, leaving this cute place...

to Fabric Row...
A little more ghetto and old. The fabric and the stores.
It was definitely an experience, fun to get out, but I miss my Joann's. Maybe I'll save up for Spool fabric, maybe I'll go on an excursion to find a Joann's. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Don't know what this weekend's adventure will be, but I'm excited.

That looks so fun!
Okay, first off.... Dean is still darling. That said, I'm in love with that fabric that's sorta cream with the brownish trees on it. I would buy that. Just thought I would let you know. :) Miss ya!
Hey Allyson, I'm a total blog stalker so hopefully you aren't creeped out haha. I too thought that fabric row would be awesome, but it is totally ghetto! I've heard there are some JoAnn's around here somewhere, but I haven't been yet. And I love spool, I totally splurged there! Sounds like you are crafty too!! We'll have to get together sometime and our hubbys can talk about boring medical school stuff!
Ya I thought fabric row was going to be so cute and fun ... but it definitely wasn't. But I LOVE Spool! There is a JoAnn's about 20 min away. We'll have to go there sometime soon!
