This week my DREAM CAME TRUE; I got to visit Spandex World.

Almost exactly one year ago (on July 15, 2011) I posted a photo I found on tumblr of Spandex World’s store front. I looked it up, found out it was in New York and added it to my “to visit” list.

And this past week on July 19th, my mother, Christine and I visited New York’s garment district to find this very store. :]

It was filled with every single spandex print/hologram/texture imaginable! When I visited LA’s garment district I never found a store that was JUST spandex (though there may very well be one).

I was overwhelmed, as evidenced by the photo Christine snapped below. ;p

At least I was able to control myself and we only visited a few fabric and trim stores before I begged Christine and my mother to leave the garment district (I’m not made of money and fabric can cost a lot of it, haha). I ended up purchasing only 3 fabrics on our trip, all of them from Spandex World. Below is a not so good quality instagram photo of it.

As you may have guessed, I am now back from New York. :] I’ll be blogging more photos from the trip over the next few days before I head off to Seattle to visit Eva~ And I’ll also be posting the result of my latest giveaway tomorrow! ♥
