The selvage alone would have sold me. <br /><br />Perfect time of year for making pasta. I've gotten into a Marcella Hazan italian cuisine kick, picking up her cook books second hand. Her books are great reads and thus far, all the recipes have been wonderful. Fresh to the max.<br /><br />Cannot wait to see what wonders emerge from those fabrics.Urbanitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082732819237189605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-2271548492459586702015-10-25T14:16:37.522-04:002015-10-25T14:16:37.522-04:00Beautiful fabrics and looking forward to your bag ...Beautiful fabrics and looking forward to your bag projects. Decided quite a while ago not to make those because of time issues, but it's still itching from time to time. <br />Pasta from scratch: love it! I regularly make it and it's wonderful. Especially ravioli with goat cheese en lemon (Ottolenghi) is a huge favorite.Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187364244385056641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-31917968943726901942015-10-25T13:52:57.405-04:002015-10-25T13:52:57.405-04:00It would be easy to assume that the embroidered ar...It would be easy to assume that the embroidered areas would be quite dense and stiff but amazingly they are not. I think they may have used a rayon thread as it is quite soft and I am sure it will very sewable. Glad you like it.

This group helps them pick out their outfit and style it. It is just a great local group who wants to give a leg up to these young women who often are single mothers and have had many obstacles to overcome. I have been supremely blessed with two amazing successful daughters and its the least any of us can do to help other young women in need. I hope others look into this. My friend in the group told me all my pieces immediately got used so that was good.

You are in a professional chef's kitchen and have your own big metal table with your own kitchen aid, bowls, ingredients, etc. You make tons of food that you take home to family and they tell you to make sure you bring a cooler. This class is on "Autumn Pastas" and will take most of the day. We will be making various pastas from scratch and sauce them up with "seasonal sauces". Should be lots of fun. I could use a girly weekend!Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-67909311506432923682015-10-25T11:55:59.404-04:002015-10-25T11:55:59.404-04:00Yes, I may have purchased that fabric for its selv...Yes, I may have purchased that fabric for its selvedge alone!
