On Monday 27th we all took a trip up to London to do some Fabric Sourcing!
Zoe, Amelia, Sam, Tanya and I headed down to Goldhawk Road to get some samples of some heavier fabrics.
At first I was a bit annoyed that the first shop I went in refused to give us any samples. This became a problem as we realised that most heavier fabrics, like wool and leather, were expensive. Some shopkeepers were reluctant to sell us less than 1/2 a metre!
But once we did a bit of roleplaying and smiled ever so sweetly, we got some really nice samples!
We found it was effective to search for the fabrics ourselves, show an interest in its composition and not baffle them by all crowding around (like typical students!)
Oh, and we proundly got some shopping in too!! HAHA!
