Met Emily yesterday morning on Berwick street for some fabric shopping. First stop was the cloth house. I am still obsessed with the lovely wool i used for my muse project, but the girls at the Cloth House said they wouldnt be getting it in again, and tried everywhere else on Berwick street! Louise recommended i try a shop in Lewisham, maybe tommorow. Anyway, i only have a tiny tiny square of this wool left, wondering if i can make a little panel or something?!?
Got 3 different plasticy textured fabrics. One is really thin, almost like a lining fabric but its lovely and crispy. Also got a coated linen type stuff, not sure about it now though, i think its to thick. Got a lovely coated cotton which is perfect, exactly what i imagined when i thought of a plasticy fabric. Also picked up the beigey/peachy colour loose weave fabric, its really 'beachy', like old netting or something. Will make a really nice ruffle round the waist i think!
Not sure what to get if i cant find this wool anywhere - think it will have to be a thick jersey. So my digital prints will be on silky, floaty fabrics, and im seeing the skirt part in the wool im after (or jersey). The plasticy fabrics will probably be used for accessories and details. Need to go and do some more drawings so im ready to expose screen soon!
