Tomorrow morning I am boarding a plane headed for Los Angeles, California. I will be meeting up with 20+ bloggers to spend the weekend shopping for fabric in the heart of the Fabric District in LA!
To say that I am excited is an understatement! Even as I write this post I am still in disbelief that I am headed to LA. I FINALLY get to meet some of my blogging “friends” who are simply the sweetest and most creative girls I have ever known! Of course I am a little (or a lot) nervous about leaving the kiddos behind and heading across country, but I know it is going to be worth it! A huge thanks to Andrea from The Train To Crazy and Go To Patterns for coordinating the weekend! If not for this trip I’m sure I would never dare navigate the LA Fabric District myself. As you all know I am far from being a city girl. Justine from Sew Country Chick also helped out a lot with the planning. I can’t even imagine the time and effort that was put into making such an event. I want to make sure they know how much we all appreciate all they have done to make this weekend a reality!
Of course I also have to tell you all about the amazing sponsors who are making this weekend possible. Seriously, they are going above and beyond to make this weekend one we will never forget!
Thank you to Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Storesfor sponsoring Fabric Weekend 2013. Even in a fabric heaven like Los Angeles you still know you can find exactly what you need at Jo-Ann’s.
Mood Fabrics has a new and improved store in Los Angeles that is sure to excite anyone interested in apparel fabric. Their online store is also new and improved!
And as if Fabric Weekend wasn’t enough, I am also attending Girl’s Night Out on Saturday night. I finally get to meet Jessica from The Sewing Rabbit and attend one of her GNO events! Nope, this trip could not get any better!!
Make sure you follow me along on Instagram and facebook to see all of the fun we are having…and all of the fabric I am buying. With 2 empty suitcases I sure will be coming home with a lot of it!!
Christina, I am soo excited for you !
I used to live 2 hrs away from LA and would drive there to shop for fabric. Now I am living much closer but have not been back there in a while. You are inspiring me to make the now 45 minutes drive to go there again very soon ! You will have sooooo much fun ! Enjoy and while you are there, I will start the tiered cake !
I enjoyed meeting you so much Christina! You are justa wonderful person and I wish we lived closer to each other!
