Again, the fittings ran so smoothly - at times we were ahead of schedule which I've never known for fittings before! Which is a massive positive - as this is the first time I have ever been in charge of this many people, and trying to organise them to be ready in a certain place at the right time, I am especially pleased at this outcome. Today we reversed the roles, so I was checking people in and getting them ready, and Amber was in the fitting space with the makers she is supervising.
This morning we had a mini tutorial with Frances and our tutor regarding the issue of not having all the accessories. I understand that we should have had everything possible for these fittings, and unfortunately we have not managed to provide that.
Reflection: From this I learnt that organisation is the most important thing for a supervisor. I think we went wrong with thinking that things were going OK because we had the fitting schedule organised, and because we spent so much time over the stocking issues (of trying to find them a. cheap enough without looking cheap, and b. trying to find natural fibre stockings in the first place). I have been spending a lot of my time comparing prices of items, and maybe that's time we didn't have to spare. I've also learnt that everything needs to be considered at the same time - everything needs to be accounted for.
