Fashion studio induction

Met with the technician for the fashion dept. and discussed my 2 pieces. She was called Marcella and she was brilliantly helpful.

She recommended the haberdashery where the old post office is at the top of Queens street for my materials.

She does not have any patterns for the wimple piece. She recommended searching Etsy.

She recommended that I experiment with the freehand sewing machines to write the text on the wimple. I feel like this might be a pragmatic compromise between my desire for others to contribute and the projects tight timeline. I have booked a session with her in the textile studio tomorrow at 3pm to practise.

She also said they don't have any rectangular cross stitch frames; I need a rectangular one to stop the fabric from stretching the wrong way. I will chat to Don in the 3D workshop about building one in the right dimensions this week.
