Yet another reason for you (and me) to learn how to sew: Through tonight, Britex fabrics is enjoying a 30 percent-off sale. It applies to EVERYTHING in the store. Britex is one of the country's premier fabric retailers (it nicely bookends New York's Zarin warehouse). Local designers and interior decorators can be spotted daily perusing the spools at 146 Geary, which stocks just about any color, blend, texture, or weight fabric you can think of. Swing by the joint on your lunch break or on your way home tonight.
It's not too late to make a last-minute resolution for this (relatively) new year. Spend your hard-earned moneys on something productive that will stoke your creative fires: A needle, thread, and a few yards of muslin. I made my sister's window treatments last year, and I was quite pleased with the results (more importantly, so was she). What are you going to make?
And in other news, SHOES!
Shoes are only $80 through tomorrow at Wilkes Bashford.Through tomorrow, Wilkes Bashford is throwing its annual warehouse sale. Nuff said. Not sure why you're still reading, really. The deets: Most merchandise is 80 percent off (!) and shoes are a staggering $80 a pair. Seriously, you're still sitting down and reading...why?
