Fabric Porn...
Yesterday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gblvr and I went to Mekong River Textiles and bought fabric for the Sanuk Jacket pattern.
Ikat is fabric woven with the pattern already dyed onto the warp or weft (or both -- double ikat). Shot silk has thread of one color for the warp and threads of another for the weft which gives the entire fabric an iridescent color-shifting quality.
They are so very pretty.
I also bought some of this:
to make sashiko handbags with.
I'm just going to stay home and coo at the fabric, I think.
