Liz tipped me off the other day, about a little shop that I'd never visited....
Trimmings and Remnants is jam packed with all things bright and sparkly - fabrics, sequins, trims, ribbon etc etc etc. If you needed to make a costume for Mardi Gras, then this would definitely be the place to visit!
I just couldn't resist picking up a couple of sparkly remnants, and some sparkly thread to play with. Now... what to make???
Yay! It's sparkly central thats for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love their retro laminex counter, and sometimes you can find some treasures like old Czech crystals and vintage findings
I hope the oppy near by was open and worth looking at too.
Don't laugh, but many years back I made a bikini top and micro mini from that sparkly fabric & wore it to Mardi Gras. Those were the days. x
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel like dancing!
ReplyDeleteOH oh razamatazz you're probably too young to remember that stocking ad , lol ! Love your sparkly bits .
ReplyDeleteOoooh shiny! Maybe Super Pops needs a new costume??
ReplyDeleteI think that shiny can be spot from my place already..^-^
ReplyDeleteI know you would work out something amazing w them, can't wait to see it.
This is what I love about blogs ... every day someone has posted something that you just have to buy/do/visit. I think I would like this shop very much!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your sparkly stuff and the thread - excellent choice of colour combo! I used fabric like that to line a wizard's cape for Argy. I can't resist shiny things!
cam, I hope you're not telling us that you're going to mardi gras! I would never have picked you.....
ReplyDeletelove the thread! keira would die for some of that thread!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI remember the stocking ad.
ooh shiny :D
ReplyDeletehmm a shiny crown or ears would work :D
I love a bit of sparkle. Sounds like a lovely shop and I look forward to seeing what you make. I have some of the thread that you picked up and have used it for some free hand machine embroiderey and serged edging. I seem to remember using the silicone thread lubricant(?) and needing to go slow because it was a little prone to breakage.
ReplyDeleteYou can buy sparkly thread?? That is totally new to me. I wouldn't have a clue what to make with them... other than a sparkly pair of pants with a midriff top with sparkly long sleeves... in Bubbles size hahahaha...
