Fabric Abroad...

I recently went on a holiday to Vietnam and Cambodia and was on the hunt for some 'special' fabrics that I couldn't find back home.

Our first stop was Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) where we stumbled across aisles and aisles of silks, chiffons, suiting and lots of sparkles! I purchased 2 metres of a grey knife pleated chiffon and had planned to head back to purchase some more fabrics however we were busy sightseeing and didn't make it back to the market before it closed.

Our next stop was Hoi An, a beautiful town that I would be more than happy to visit again some day. Every second shop is either a tailor or shoe maker. I was like a kid in a candy store looking through magazines to pick outfits as well as picking beautiful fabrics for anything you can think of. I had a dress, blazer, silk shirt, shorts and pants made. I also had three pairs of shoes made!!
