A Trip To The Fabric Store

I have been hearing about the fabric store Lewis and Sharon from Little Green Notebook for quite some time and have been wanting to make a trip to see it, since I knew it was located in Atlanta, but haven’t done so… until now. Actually, quite a few months ago, my mom and I tried to go but we went to Ikea first and spent too much time there. By the time we got to the fabric store, they were closed. Sad day for us! So this past week, Jason and I went to Atlanta and on the way home stopped at L & S. It was amazing!

Seriously, I had no idea how wonderful it would be. Tons of gorgeous fabrics all together makes me happy. It was so great that even Jason admitted what a wonderful store it was and he hates going to fabric stores. That’s saying a lot if he thinks it’s good! Now I know not all of you are able to go so even though you can shop online at their store, I still thought I would show you a few pictures from the actual store.

First of all, I was naturally drawn to anything in gray and especially anything ikat. I have been wanting something ikat for so long and still don’t have it so I have been looking for the perfect one. L & S had a ton to choose from. Here are some of my favs in the gray color family:

And although I love gray, there were also lots of other fun colors:

and animal prints…

and fun florals…

and great textures…

funky fabrics (I love the ocean animals!)…

black and white…

vintage looking prints…

and if all of that weren’t enough, there was a whole downstairs section to enjoy as well! They had a showcase of furniture that you could choose from and then choose your fabric to go with it. I was completely blown away. Too. Much. Eye. Candy. I especially loved all of these velvet fabrics hanging in color order. Gorgeous!

I want to bring each one of those home with me right now! And let’s not even get into all of the amazing outdoor fabrics…

They are so great I would use them inside as well! And lastly, one of my favorite parts, was the remnant section. You can get some killer deals on some of these fabrics if you didn’t need a lot of yardage:

I was able to take little clippings of the fabrics I loved so I could bring them home and check them with some of the other things I have in my house. I have a small stack of gorgeous patterns and colors staring at me and I can’t wait to pin them onto my inspiration board (once it makes its way upstairs from the basement). Hopefully, I will get to go back soon, when my Mom returns home, and we can pick out some fabric to bring home. There are so many fabrics I love, the hard part will be narrowing it down!!

Go to their website and browse around. You won’t be disappointed! Here are some of my favs from their site: ikat, ikat, ikat, animal print, linen, linen, floral, floral, and crewel. Plus, there are so many more. I could have added a million links :) If you are ever in Atlanta, make a point to go there if you love fabric as much as I do :)
