Today's task was to head out and about round London and start to collect some fabric samples that could possibly be used within this module.
Cloth House - 98 Berwick street
I visited the cloth House at 98 Berwick, to be honest I have never really ventured down Berwick street this far so didn't know there was another cloth house but was pleased to find another at the end of the road.
Fabrics I found here included one named Tyrek ( well that's what I could make out from the handwriting I could be wrong) I like this fabric as it was almost like a soft coated black plastic with a matt finish.
The second was a black silk mix it felt very much like cotton however and a sheen to the fabric.
Finally was a black stretchy type fabric that contains an almost leather look floral pattern on. Im not sure what this is or how it was produced but it would be interesting to find out.
Cloth house - 47 Berwick street
Now to the other cloth house, this is where I collected four more samples. I'm not really sure what the fabrics are as the price has only been taken down on the fabric card and not what the fabric consists of. However it will be interesting to possibly test out burn testing on each of the fabrics and try to determine what they are myself.

I loved all the fabrics with in Libertys due to there interesting and varied range of different prints. The two above I really liked and felt fitted in well with my theme as all though they are flora prints which are often seen in bright pastel colours, They have been produced in dull, dark and muted tones giving a more sinister and dark feel to them.
