We were told to get 2 metres of a light weight, medium weight and heavy weight fabric to cut our shapes from and see how they react when placed on the body. I enjoyed this as it was good to see how the fabrics would fall. I learned alot about how fabric choices for the particular garments are extremly important and you need to be realistic when designing..for example it would'nt be possible to use chiffon on a stiff, structured garment.
My lightweight fabric was satin lining.
My medium weight was polycotton
My heavy weight fabric was a 100% percent wool fabric.
I also got a thick wool jumper from a charity shop to use as a heavy weight fabric.

Heavy weight #1
Heavy weight #2 - wool jumper
I recorded how the different fabrics fell on the body and if they held there shape or hung down. I did this by taking photographs, taking notes and sketching.
