I've been craving for designer fabrics since 2007. I wonder why i didn't buy it online from US website and I couldn't find the answer hahah! Is not that I'm afraid to buy online from international site, after all I've been importing Gymboree kids apparels from Gymboree.com for my Malaysian customer. However, now I've few options to get designer fabrics locally.
Shambijoux,
Alvina and
Retro Chic are bringing in few selection of designer fabrics available for Malaysian crafters. Some offer pre-orders.
Most quilt shop I went before this have lots of imported American cotton, however.... non of them have Amy Butler or Anna, Joel.. just to name a few. I just found out that Quilt Gallery at Bangsar Village have Micheal Miller design at price range start at RM49+- which kinda expensive for me. RM35-40/m is considered ok. Anyone found lower than that with nice design let me know yah! :D. So that's explain why my Hotmama Pouch that use American cotton are selling at a little bit higher price than the Jap. Cotton I get from Kamdar or Nagoya.
I went for fabrics hunting last Saturday after sending my deary Janome for her regular maintainance at Epal. Heading to Sea Park, SS2 at Petaling Jaya. Drop by at Yee Button House, Zhoahuo (ZZ) -not sure if I spell it correct and Kamdar. I found few new prints that will be interesting for my new Hotmama Pouch collection. Most of cottons at Yee Button are frpm Robert Kaufman and Quilt Gates. I accidently found a shop that
Sis. Yela always mentioned in her blog, lubuk kain jerseys - ZZ, very sorry i forgot the spelling. Hantam sajalah but I didn't buy anything from ZZ since my jerseys already piling up waiting to be sewn into hijab hehehe and then at Kamdar I found a very vibrant plain color of soft cotton sateen. I bought few colors that match design i bought from Yee Button and Ikea fabby that I bought few weeks ago. Satisfied enough with the local fabric store. Bersyukurlah dgn apa yg ade hehehe.
I'm planning to get few designer fabrics soon for myself. Haven't decided whether to buy direct from US or buy from the local blogshop. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be fun to have those fabby in my stocks! Hhihi! Berangan dulu! Like attract like! Got the extra foot set for my Janome, can't wait to try it next 2 weeks. I've promised myself to take a break from sewing for 2 weeks plus being loaded with office stuff that really sucks! Sorry to colleague who read this... but Yes, office really sucks.
What ever it is - Welcome Monday! Welcome Rejab! Jom kite puasa sunat - mcm dah abis ganti puasa jer ehehhe!
