I have to admit the eye-watering prices and the 20 percent VAT (sales tax) in Estonia has left me wondering how do the locals sew at all. \u00a0Even so, this is a busy town, full of creativity and a vibrant workforce and it's not hard to see why this is the fastest-growing country in all of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, my lack of Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Finnish, or Russian language skills limits my experience in the outdoor markets and local stores. \u00a0I make a mental note: Before hunting fabric in Tallinn, Estonia, find a tracker\/translator so I can hunt for the elusive Linen Jersey Jacquard seen only on the <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/lost-art-hand-sewing\/\" target=\"_blank\">haute couture<\/a> runways these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into fabric hunting in Tallinn, Estonia. &nbsp;Until next time, keep your scissors sharp. &nbsp;I'll be sharing new projects with you using these fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you been to any of the Baltic countries? &nbsp;Please share your thoughts and even some pics in the comments below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n<h2>If You'd Like To Support Our Site<\/h2>\r\nIf you want to help us continue to bring you a wide selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/free-sewing-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free sewing patterns<\/a> and projects, please consider buying us a coffee.\u00a0 We'd really, really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<center><div class=\"ko-fi-button\" data-text=\"Buy me a coffee!\" data-color=\"#ff5f5f\" data-code=\"\" id=\"kofiShortcode679Html\" style=\"float: none; text-align: left;\"><\/div><\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I continue my journey in search of sewing inspiration in the wonderful\u00a0city of Tallin, the capital of the Baltic nation of Estonia. \u00a0It&#8217;s only a two-hour ferry ride (80 km\/50 miles) from Helsinki where I was able to visit Marimekko and I find myself in what is without a doubt \u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/fabric-hunting\/\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":308,"featured_media":38695,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[15,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38425"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/308"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38425"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":70733,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38425\/revisions\/70733"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
