Today ive spent alot of time going to fabric shop looking for white fabrics :

Blackout linen

georgettre
satin back dupion
microfibre

cotton drill
leatherette
panama
knitted nylon & cotton satin stretch

Theses are all the fabrics i have looked at questioned weather to use in my collection some were fabrics i used just purely to sample with , to see how i work with white.
I was unsure of what fabrics to use i really liked the blackout fabric , thats became my favourite.
