I met with the project manager Jamie Lau, who is just darling! I'm so psyched to be working with her. The moment I arrived she helped me make a snappy little espresso and introduced me to all the Burdastyle staff who I've only known in avatar form;)
After our big meeting, Jamie walked me through the garment district including all the most popular shops, B&J, Mood. I bought a cute little ice-cream plaid fabric for $17 a yard (see top). I'd never pay that here but I figured what the heck it's NY. And I think it was worth it because it has inspired me to FINALLY make a new dress. I just have to get the kids bunks upstairs once and for all so I can finish my craft room.
I also got a look at their first book which will be coming out soon! And I can safely say, it's definitely worth the wait! So many amazing projects! So much eye candy. Just like Burdastyle! It's definitely on my must-own list of sewing books.
I'll probably be heading back to the Burdastyle offices in the beginning of August, so I'll update you more then!

How exciting!! I can't wait to see what you design with the fabric!
I'm thrilled that you're working with Burdastyle on a special project! That must be so much fun! Best of luck to you. =)
Lucky you!
Exciting! Can't wait to see what the project is!
Oooooo exciting :D. I'm quite jealous of your visit to Mood. God I love that place (the one time I went there).
So depending when in August I would totally, absolutely LOVE to go to NYC with you. Let me know;)
I can now see the reason why you are my mother's, "lesbian crush."
must have been quite a day! I love how all the fabrics have samples attached, it definitely makes it easier to swim through all those!.. not that I'd ever want it to end!...
That's awesome, hope you enjoyed every second of it. :)
What a great opportunity! I would have bought the ice cream plaid, too! :)
