Well, I took the plunge! After a 6 month hiatus, I finally have a little extra time to sew. I’m so excited! I entered the My Pattern contest to practice the draping method. I like draping because of the instant gratification factor. I can design as I go, and since I’m a visual person – as well as impatient- draping allows me to go from sketch to 3D design almost instantly. So anyway, here’s my sketch:
I’m using a beautiful vintage cotton floral for the bodice and a linen blend for the skirt. I’ve started a work in progress on www.sewing.pattern.com , but I’ll also be blogging my progress as I go.
