CS Fabric Shopping

Met AH late morning to shop for fabric at Arab street.. we didn't explore any other shops expect Royal Fabrics which Kim recommend.. Too many choices can be a bad idea too..

We looked at the different laces in the shop.. the prices can range from $20/m to about $150/m.. I wanted french lace initially to make my CS.. but the price of french lace is really steep! Worse still, I need about 3 metres of laces as I need more "scallops" for my asymmetrical design.. That will amount to about $300-400 just for the laces!!

I printed the design I wanted & showed to the sales lady in the shop.  She showed us the german laces which are cheaper and can also do the design I wanted.. The colour we wanted has 2 different flower motif designs.. and we spent quite some time deciding which flower motif we wanted.. settled for the bigger flower at the end.. However, this piece of fabric does not have nice scallop sides.. So the sales lady told us to get 1 metre of the small flower motif (this piece has nicer scallop sides).. She say that Kim can also cut out the flowers from the fabric and sew over the other lace as a design too..

So all in all.. spent $116 on all my fabric.. now need to look for wedding shoes.. :P
