Sister Act.

I thought I'd continue on with my Clement Street Saturday stroll. The day I was in Period George (yesterday's post) I also stopped into quite a few other shops in the neighborhood. Some are brand new to Clement, or have been around for just a short while, and others have been there forever, and yet I'd never ventured in.

One of those shops is Satin Moon Fabrics, a gorgeous little place with every inch packed with glorious fabrics and trims. The shop has been run by sisters Alice and Susan for the last 35 years in the same quaint, Clement Street location. The sisters are so sweet, and so helpful and have such an eye for unusual and high quality fabrics, I couldn't wait to tell you about their really special little shop.


Satin Moon Fabrics carries everything from upholstery weight fabrics to silks and beautiful cotton prints. And they have an amazing stock of ribbon and trims, as well. I picked up some coral-pink pom-pom trim while there, to finally finish off a pillow I'm making from a vintage floral drapery panel.

And while the selection is great, Satin Moon Fabrics also has this amazingly warm atmosphere, that makes you want to sit down to tea with these two charming and fun sisters. They seem to finish each other's sentences, laugh a lot while helping you, and just genuinely love what they do. I will go back there for my all fabrics, and secretly just to check in with Alice and Susan. The sisters were camera-shy, so I can't share them with you, but trust me, there's a little something magic about them and their wonderful shop. Go on and see for yourself.
