It's been open for a little over a year now, but I finally went to Sew to Speak, the glorious new(ish) fabric store in Beechwold. It took me so long to get there because, as much as I love beautiful things, I am not crafty. At all. So while I was quite pleased that the store existed, I figured I would leave patronage to people who know what they're doing with a needle and thread. Then, however, we had a bit of a curtain crisis and thought I'd try my hand. I found the most divine fabric that had all the elements I was looking for- white background, bold graphic elements, vintage feel, and ideally incorporating all the colors in the house ( green, black, orange, rasberry and navy)- it woudn't have been more perfect if I'd dreamed it up. And though I couldn't sew a straight line with a gun to my head, I cheated with Stich-Witch-ery and I LOVE it. Oh, and the fabric was about $14 a yard, which seemed to be about the middle price range, so for less than $30 I had a curtain that I actually like better than anything I could have gotten at Anthropologie for 3 times the price.
