Today we went into Wymondham town centre and visited our artefact buisness which was the needlework shop.We spoke to the lady in charge,Janice Alms and asked her questions about what she sold (wool,curtains,dress fabrics,patch work cottens,embroidery thread etc...) and how long the buissness had been running (33 years). We found out that the materials wernt imported by them,they brought their materials off of a complany who imported them from Germany.We went round and filmed the shop seeing all the materials they sold and were suprised to find that there were more customers than we anticipated.The staff were nice and seemed to be quite busy but had time to answer our questions and we found out most of what we needed to.The visit made me think about how my shoe would look and all the different materials that could be used,not nessiccerily just fabric,i could use buttons,needles,cotten reels,beads and other things like that and influenced me that to use other materials other than a pretty patterned fabric.
