Ryerson has a Telio Account

Finally!

For the past few years most of us have been under the assumption that without a business account, students cannot purchase from the Montreal based wholesaler. Well, when people -*cough* designAWEAR *cough*- get talking, emails get sent, and the right people connect. In case you accidentally deleted the most  recent  Ryerson fashion news email here's the guidelines:

Open mon-fri 9-5 (closed between 12 & 1)
Télio Toronto Showroom
219 Dufferin Suite 106 A
Book appointments a few days in advance - groups of 3-5
usually 10m minimum but they'll allow 3m min for students with $8 cutting fee
$10 delivery
bring credit card
can't cut swatches of everything so bring camera
questions? contact Jessica Bundy @ 416 532 9444


Now all we need is a membership to the FTA & we'll all receive a 10% discount from Telio's variety of  organic fabrics. (tencel, bamboo, cotton, denim, woven and knits)     If you don't have time for a trip to the showroom check out the resource binder in the fashion office for swatches of some of the fabrics available.

Love Forever,
Jamie

Ecospun Felt at Fabricland!

I popped into Fabricland at today to pick up felt for a winter coat muslin. And what did i find? Felt made from recycled pop bottles (PET)! Poly fibres made from recycled PET generally have the same performance characteristics as those made from unused resources. (wow...i actually retained something from textiles II...thanks S.T-P!) The felt is made by Eco-fi (formerly Eco-spun) and actually comes in quite a few colours. Not sure if its at all fabriclands in the GTA but i saw it at Yonge and Bloor. Thought you should know. ;)

Love Forever,
Jamie
