Tempe, AZ is most famous for it's college campus and home of the Arizona State Sun Devils. Since hosting the Superbowl a few years back the city has put some serious money into that area and revamped downtown Tempe. It now has a huge lake, several stores/restaurants and of course the famous "Mill Ave" bridge. However, before you reach ASU campus (found on Apache Blvd.) while driving if you look carefully you can spot a "hole in the wall". This isn't just a typical run down building, but a place you can sometimes strike gold. That is if you have the patience to dig. When I first moved here and was in the market for buying cheap fabric I was introduced to SAS. It's definitely not the nicest store on the block, but you can find some really good steals. I would best compare it to a scaled down version of LA fabric district.
I only wish I had a store like this living in New Orleans. It's seriously the greatest place to find costume gadgets. Perfect for Mardi Gras. I love this metallic ribbon, so fun for packages.
Sequence anyone? Gobs to choose from.
They also have three rows of ribbon that I could spend hours picking out.A girl can never have enough ribbon right?
I think back in the day Taylor would have ate these feathers up (when she used to dress up in her princess outfits). I didn't quite capture the fabric so you will have to imagine a visual. However, take my word there are tables and tables piled to dig through. It has been months since I have actually taken the time to sew anything, however looking through some fun bright prints today I may reconsider and dust off my sewing machine. Chanel where are you when I need you?
