Luma and I finally put aside our work schedules to spend a hot crispy Saturday fabric hunting. On Berwick street we hit up six fabric stores,
Liberty,
John Lewis, and still had time for sushi and vintage store exploring before the sun went down. My favorite fabric store was the
Cloth House, for its warm hospitality, its chic decor and wonderful fabrics (You can take a tour of their store on the
Cloth House website). Me and lumbars found most of our fabrics from there, including some we didn't have on our long list. All the fabric stores had something new to offer; the Silk House had a great selection of Giambatista Valli inspired fabrics, Liberty won me over with thier vintage rolls of flower prints and large black/gold buttons, and John Lewis had a variety of fine jungle/animal prints plus a range of
Cathy Kidston's famous fabric prints.

Our choice of fabrics
The Silk House
This fabrics store was further down the road and not on our fabric store. Store had a masculine feel to it with thicker fabcris, and darker choice of colour.
Dainty tights

At the height of his playing career in the NBA, everyone wanted to "Be like Mike" and play basketball like Michael Jordan. Owning a pair of Jordan shoes was one way to try to make that connection.
Since Jordan's retirement in 1999, fans still want to emulate the greatest basketball player ever, and continue buying Jordan shoes.
