Our plan was a quick day trip to Baltimore in order to 'replenish' our fabric stash.
Next stop was the Sassy Sewer. It's a wonderful sewing studio with a fabulous owner. www.sassysewer.com. Check her website she has some great classes coming up 
Next stop was Baltimore Threadquarters. We were in and out because the owners said they were phasing out of selling sewing/fabric supplies because there wasn't a need for it from their customers. But if you need yarn or some crazy kids running around they have you covered.
Dubois is also a really big thrift store with lots of vintage clothing. 
The owner Blondell Howard is a very experienced and well connected sewing instructor.
This will definitely be a place to come back to! She also sells and services Juki.
Next stop was SJ Fabrics and sewing studio. They also offer classes but very little fabric. C'mon Baltimore!
It was still a lovely shop.
Our last stop for fabric was Dubois textiles.
They have huge piles of home dec fabric as soon as you walk in -right along with the loud cashier wearing green lipstick. (Baltimore? :/)
BUT...around...the....corner....is this ......!
Baltimore certainly is not a destination for fabric but is the place to be for reclaimed/recycled materials.
Perhaps some cabinets for a craft workspace..all for $300!!
Really need one of these!
They even have sewing machines.
In the end we did manage to get find some treasures...
Carol's haul........
Kanisa's haul...
Ericka's haul ......
If you need fabric, don't go to Baltimore. But go for a great day, beautiful weather, and a fab time with friends.
Looks like a great and an interesting day!!
