 good morning we are hitting the road it is 9 20 9 20 already we got a hustle um we are headed to the simplicity office which isn't far from where we're staying so not that big of a deal um like i said last night i'm not sure if they're gonna let me film or what they'll let me film i'll get as much as they possibly will let me so you guys can see what's going on over there and then the plan after that is to hit up one or two more fabric stores depending on how much time we have and then we'll be heading uptown or is it downtown up uptown to the Met Museum to check out those exhibits get some lunch and we'll probably spend the rest of the day there so i'm excited okay elevators here bye so these are all your pattern testers and pattern sewers nice space for that actually considering it's the city hi Deb hi cool yeah everything from 1930 on oh wow i see the dates now yeah it's pretty cool very cool this is my work library so this is kind of where they come up with the concepting and trends and we kind of track what's doing very well and all these walls and something so well it's all the old joe and catalogs one day they'll be in after all too and what was the like reasoning they did they do it just for the wall or um it's actually an art piece yeah so i guess they just do on decorations and we have the quilting easy quilting as part of us proof that it has to be easy hang on here i'm gonna grab my for all the vintage girls out there oh hi amber you're in the reflection 1930 look how little the pattern was that's like basically a postcard how cute this little notient cabinet is it's like all vintage stuff in there look at that treasing wheel so we've actually hit a bit of a rut um we went to oh my gosh amber this is what we're going through is all falling um we went to new york elegant fabrics which is supposed to be like one of the largest is that right but we were feeling very like basic like everything was like a solid color kind of expensive for what we were shopping for so we didn't get anything there and then we went to butterfly fabrics and that was just chaotic they were working on some kind of wholesale something and everyone's like i don't know just not feeling the love so we walked across the street to this place that is lovingly called jenki store i don't know if that's actually the name of it or not i'm assuming it's not um and i already have found a couple of brocades that i really like a material world oh it's called it's a material world aka jenki store um i already found a couple brocades that i really like i'm thinking about making like circle skirt or pleated skirt and then like dress it down with white cotton tank top or white button up shirt or something like that so but this is it if you want to see it this was recommended to us by a lot of the girls at the um social hour last night so i have a feeling we'll find a few things here that we like the prices are really good so that helps so update we are not in jenki store anymore because this huge fight broke out like i'm not even kidding i'm not being dramatic this man came in and started screaming at one of the workers saying that he was there yesterday working and that they never paid him and he was insisting that they give him his money he was trying to call the police and they were screaming like screaming and he was threatening to like physically hurt him so we decided that no fabric trip was worth potentially getting injured or having to become witnesses to some kind of assault so we left and we came a couple stores down to a place called fabric it i don't think we're going to get anything here though kind of just like fabric garden fabric garden yeah that's what it is anyways just kind of trying to like get away from the other situation so i think we might leave here and head uptown for the met now but yeah it was a little crazy and kind of scary and i felt bad for the man that worked yesterday and didn't get paid but if there's no receipt no proof of payment they're both wrong so i don't know how they're gonna sort that one out without calling the police and filing a report or something but very dramatic very very dramatic so i will keep you posted guess where we need to the met museum the famous steps of the met where many a celebrity and fashion icon and i don't know models have all walked up these steps um as part of the met gala so we're headed up inside we're going to take a look at the exhibits and bring you along with us you want to walk the steps with me they actually look a lot shorter in person i thought that there would be like i don't know like double this amount of steps still really cool maybe there's another entrance who knows new yorkers is this the same entrance as the met gala all right let us go buy our tickets so we're still at the mat we came up to the terrace garden bar to take in the skyline it's beautiful up here but we finished up the heavenly bodies exhibit it was pretty awesome what did you think amber oh sorry she's busy um taking a whatever those really long ones are getting them anyways it was quite an experience i obviously inserted a bunch of little videos in here so you guys could see um the music made it feel very like experiential and the dresses were awesome really cool to see them up close and i really feel like they made like a whole like event of it so it was really good so a little bit of a snack there's nothing interesting in the textile exhibit i'll share with you guys too it has been several hours since i last checked in obviously it's night time i'm in my sewing pajamas honestly ready to go to sleep it's been a long day we clocked almost seven miles walking today it was nuts but we ended up leaving the museum got a little snack when checked out a little smaller exhibit about weaving left the museum when hung out at a starbucks when checked out and an taylor loft or was it just called loft now then walked to meet a few friends for dinner so i'm not sure if you know any of them from instagram i have a hard time remembering that all their instagram names but um we just had dinner with some internet sewing friends and it was a lot of fun uh the weather was turning quickly so we got our dinner and then took it up to one of the girls apartments so that was a lot of fun because i got to like you know really experience a new york city apartment life and what it was like and checking out all the storage options and how they just try and make things work with what they have so that was really cool it reminded me of when i lived in that little apartment who remembers that it was like 560 square feet i lived there for like three years and sewed from there the whole time so it felt very nostalgic in a way um but yeah and then we just came back after after dinner and good girl chat and you know soul-filling conversation um so we are back at the hotel now really ready to go to sleep um we don't have a single thing on the agenda tomorrow other than shopping um and i don't have a fabric haul because i didn't buy any fabric today so hopefully i'll make up that make up for that tomorrow um but the plan is just to do some fabric shopping um to go down to the f it museum do some shopping in that neighborhood so we will see it'll be another long day taking you along with me of course so i'll see you guys in the morning good night
