31st March 2009


Today at Eternal Spirits I met two more of the people that work there: Simon who is very nice and helped me a lot and also Sarah who was a student on my course. I started my sorting more tubs of fabric and organising them, Susi seemed grateful for this. I then was given the task of helping Rebecca who is second in charge with making a textile piece prototype for a wardrobe door, this was for a friend of the company who owns a furniture store. I had to cut out fabric, mark where eyelets go and iron on fusing tape.

I'm finding it a very friendly fun place to work, the atmosphere is relaxed but there is always something to do. I am enjoying it so far and have a photo shoot to help with tomorrow which should be a good experience!

Work Experience at Eternal Spirits 30/03/09



Today I started my five week placement at corsetry and bridal boutique Eternal Spirits. Here they design, make and sell corsets, bridal wear and underwear. Eternal Spirits not only sell to individual customers they also sell to other stores and have made garments for celebrities such as Britney, the Saturdays and Girls Alloud.

I met most of the staff today including Susi the owner of the company, everyone is very friendly and made me feel welcome they also answed any questions I had. Jobs I was given today were sorting through boxes of fabrics and organising them, organising past customers' files and delivering parcels to the post office.

I'm looking forward to helping with a photoshoot on Wednesday and a model fitting on Friday!
