After searching everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE in Adelaide, I was about to give up on finding a fur fabric. After searching the internet and still finding nothing, I came across a place in Melbourne called 'Bartfeld' which specialises only in faux fur, however they had no images on their website, so I thought 'what the hell' and gave them a call. I explained my situation and what I was after, and they were soo helpful! I sent them over pictures of what I wanted, they sent me back samples, and luckily there was one I actually liked. Communication is the key people. If I have learn't one thing during this design process it is certainly not to be afraid to pick up the phone and branch out! Believe it or not, most people actually want to be helpful.
As daunting as it was, I cut my first pattern pieces of faux fur today. I discovered that using a stanley knife was the best option as that way I didn't shorten the fur around the edges.
My work space; as crowded as my mind at the moment ( and it usually spans over two..cough..or three desks)
