This small building on Congress near the Franklin Street Arterial has always attracted my eye. It's had many different 'lives'. Now, Z Fabrics is a sewing and fabric supply store. All decked out in lavender and white, I always seem to glance that way while stopped at the light. By the way, you don't want me anywhere near a sewing machine, especially after I saw Buddy's mom put a needle right through her finger. It didn't look or sound pretty, coming from a grown woman. Those machines can do damage! Although I must say, I'm impressed to see the creative pieces that come from Elenka's hands, with the help of one of those machines. She made some of the coolest travel bags, for some family members, from just remnants. Amazing!
