We got to visit High Fashion Fabrics in Houston that had the most wonderful selection of dress-weight fabrics. We all bought something to make a new skirt. It’s so unusual to find a fabric store that carries fabric to make clothes — and since our minds are turning back to making our own again, it was a delight to visit this place and come home with some treasures.
