Tokyo Fabric District

As many of you know, my mother loves sewing(http://reginageesplace.blogspot.com/). So there is no way I could go to Tokyo without buying her some items from the fabric district.
Now, this adventure was much harder than originally planned. I spent an hour trying to find a silk fabric store that was closed!!!! Then, I found the mecca of fabric stores: Tomato!!! It was 5 floors packed full of fabric. Now, what made this even harder, was I have no real knowledge about fabric. This is mom's hobby, not mine. I often have difficulty navigating through an American fabric store. I called mom about 5 times via skype while shopping, to make sure I was getting the correct material.
These are the goodies I purchased.
 

 

I'm pretty excited that I was able to navigate through a Tokyo market by myself! (Myself and google translate).
