Day 3

Today was sad as it was my last day at liles. However, I did get to do my favorite task yet, which was swatches. I was given a list sent to the store from the fabric companies noting which fabrics were out of stock or sold out. I then got to flip through hundreds of fabrics and find the notes fabric to either cut it out of it’s sold out or write it’s delivery date if it’s just out of stock. Although this might not be appealing to most I really enjoyed flipping through the hundreds (most likely over 1000) different fabrics that the store offered for custom suits. It was really cool to see all the possibilities one can have in a suit. The rest of my day was spent talking to staff or customers. My favorite moment was when I was chatting with a custom only to realize he lived I the same town I do (Pittsboro is not very big and is an hour from liles). On top of that he knew many people I knew from my home town, it was very cool to make a connection with someone like that. I learned such an immense amount at liles and it was a truly special experience so many many thanks to Mrs. Werner for making that connection. I learned many things these past few days that I’m sure will be really valuable in the future.
