I saw an ad for a very expensive tailored blazer made out of a stretch denim and decided to recreate it myself. This fabric was the perfect color, the perfect weight, and the perfect stretch, at a great price! So happy with this purchase!

I made a pair of capri pants for a friend and she loves them
I made a pair of capri pants for a friend and she loves them. The fabric was good quality and easy to work with.
This was my 8th order from Fabric LA & this leather in particular has become my favorite, the tobacco-matte colored thick leather cut; the color is exquisite & the thickness is premium. Highly recommended. Just don’t buy it all because I love it. Viva la FABRIC LA!!
