Material sourcing seminar

So today we sat down with Sarah to talk about the materials that we were using for our shirts and where we would be sourcing our materials from.

I also got some feedback with my brushed cotton, EVERYONE LOVED IT because it was so soft. Sarah did however briefly say that White fabric gets dirty easier, to which I simply replayed "and that's why you wash it" this seemed to settle the problem.
When I was asked on why I got the cotton in white, I simply stated that i liked a white shirt... In fact who doesn't like a white shirt, it goes with everything, like a blank canvas.

We also got some links to some material websites and warehouses that we can get certain fabrics for future projects.
