Manage episode 420922560 series 2599650
Take a trip with Black Women Stitch as Lisa whisks listeners away on a 24-hour adventure through LA's Fashion District. From fabric shopping sprees and meeting Josie from LA Finch Fabric to diving into the colorful fabric scene, she shares it all. Lisa dishes out travel tips for anyone who likes to buy pieces while they're traveling. Plus, which fashion district is better, LA or NY? There's so much to talk about, but don't worry this episode is much shorter than a commute in LA traffic!
