A few weeks ago
my boyfriend and I became a first time homeowner. It’s been quite exciting
getting everything sorted from decorating, choosing our carpets and furniture.
We’ve kept with clean simple colours so that if we were to sell or rent in the
future it would still look modern and easy to redecorate. Since I’ve been busy
sorting things out so that its ready for us to move in I haven’t had time to
work on my garments, instead I have been working on my sketchbook to update all
the samples and toiles I had been doing and some fabric research/testing.
I have been
playing around with fabrics because I think that as a pattern cutter I need to
learn how to use different types of fabrics from stretch to non stretch and fine
to strong textures, because for example if I drafted a pattern that will work
with a stretch fabric it wouldn’t work on a non stretch or it would fit
differently.
Here are some fabric
sourcing I did today, very random pieces because I’m feeling a variety of
different types of fabric within my collection.
