My mom and I went to a fabric store at Brussels: Les Tissus du Chien Vert.A coat is an obligatory piece this year at sewing class, so I needed new fabric.
Les Tissus du Chien Vert have a few stores and are specialised in both fabrics for your interior and clothing. Although these are very big stores, I was quite disappointed about what they offered. I'm not questioning the quality of their fabrics, but their variety is very classic. I was looking for some retro fabrics too and couldn't find it. After a long search through the whole shop I bumped into some fabric that's normally used for curtains. I thought it would be nice for a coat too and it wasn't that stiff, so I can do anything I want with it. I bought 2 meters for 30 euros.
I still need some retro fabric for a tricot dress. I will find it elsewhere. In two weeks I will go to a designer fabric sale and I will probably find heaps of fabric I like there. Fingers crossed!
We also went for sandwich between two stores. It was a while ago since we went out with just the two of us. We had fun.
Eventually I'm really happy with what I chose today with the help of my mom :-).
