Maybe it was the area I was in, but I wouldn't have known it was a fashion/sewing district if not for the bunting declaring it so.

It was a treat to have so many fabrics to choose from - this is not your suburban chain store fabric shop.

I shopped for bead and buttons - Lou Lou's was great for buttons. They have a great selection and are SO friendly. Fun2Bead and New York Beads were super. M&J Trim was fun, but for buttons, Lou Lou's is better. It was really fun to go from one fabulous shop to the next, and the selection was just super.

As a jewelry designer I was looking for new and old things to add to my inventory. I found exactly what I was looking for. The Czech glass at York Novelty is beautiful! Friendly staff and great classes from national designers! And refreshments...what more could you ask for?

The Garment District is historically the center of the fashion industry. With the decline in local manufacturing of attire the district has become much smaller. There is still, however, a great deal of design and marketing of lines that are conducted in the area. There are a number of smaller shops that provide some outstanding deals. On 35th between 7th...
