Fabrics

Following the talks from our crit on thursdays im going to see how it goes with doing an all white collection.

To day I went to get some fabrics :

  • Leatherette
  • Chiffon
  • Panama
  • Knitted Nylon & Cotton Satin Stretch

I wanna have a mix of light weight and medium weight fabrics. I also been looking online for perspex and reflectivce fabrics.

I have sent emails to a few compaines and are awaiting reply . There was one place I found were I could buy a roll of reflective tape for 0.50 put the posting n packaging on that was an ridiculous price for something that so cheap. And i ent paying that price for one little thing. KMT.

Tomorrow in my lessons going to BANG out loads of samples - take some fabric to tamekas pleater to get pleated and maybe start my pattern cutting, i would of went to college and done my sampling today but I ent really feel to good :(
