Fabric Souk and Thai

Nathan and I had a day off earlier this week for MLK Day, and the boys had school, so we headed downtown with a couple of friends to the fabric souk. 
In this country, a lot of people have their clothes hand-made. There were stores and stores lined with beautiful fabric for men and women, it was quite overwhelming. I went to the souk last month, and this time dropped off some fabric to make a shirt, and Nathan purchased fabric to get a shirt made. All you have to do is wash the fabric and bring it on in. We left a shirt that we like the fit and they are copying it, but they do completely custom fitted clothes too.
 We ended our day enjoying Thai food with a couple of friends, then picked up the boys at school. It was a nice day all around.

Nice to have your own "day off" - sounds like a great day. Post pictures of your new shirts when you get them.
Lots of Love,
