Sushi and LA

He he That title is kind of out of order. I just went for the first time to downtown LA fashion district. Most importantly the fabric district side. and I have got to tell you it was a mini heaven. Too bad we had a time limit to a reservation for a sushi joint.

We first visited Levine's "The Loft" Where they basically store their scrap fabric and sell them by the POUND. You heard me right. BY the POUND. for $2.50 per pound. And considering I have about 10 yards of fabric for 13 dollars I'm pretty sure it was a good buy all around. It was AMAZING. I will be sure to up load pic of the fabric haul.

Then after we stuffed ourselves at all you can eat sushi down at sakura ichi at downtown Pasadena. Ridiculous amount of food. we were starving when we came in and the verge of throwing up all the precious food by the time we were done. By the end we just had to walk a couple of laps around the track to feel better.

I'll visit the fabric district soon again when I run out of the great supplies I've found today.

For now here's a hat I've made in the morning. It was sized for a child but I guess the yarn was thick enough for my head also. That or I just have a tiny head. Pattern instructions here:http://vallieskids.blogspot.com/2009/06/olivias-butterfly.html
