When I create new designs, pattern-making is just such an important step to me. It’s like the architecture of clothing! You can either use draping, pattern-drafting (a mathematical construction) or simply a mix of both.

Trying out an added draped collar to the top’s neckline. It’s a vertically striped soft silk fabric, cut on the bias and then mounted on top of a somewhat stiffer silk organza. I folded it once without pressing, to get a really soft and rounded look.

Back to the Work Room.

I will continue tomorrow. It’s late… See you there! ❤

Draping in the actual fabric this time. I had a left-over piece of a high-quality men’s suit wool fabric, so I really need to know I won’t exceed the amount I actually have. And I most certainly need to use every square-inch of it!

Back to the Work Room.

Let’s see how this goes!

Almost a bit Supergirl-ish… A caped back! Or, let’s say, a somewhat rococo-inspired drape maybe? Anyhow, with just adding another “cut-through” at the side, you’ll get some great new possibilities added to the look of the dress. I think it’s rather elegant! And a bit dramatic. And very, very three-dimentional. What do you think?

Back to the Work Room.

See you tomorrow for new projects and fun!

Finally ready with 2019’s first drape! It’s made in muslin – a light plain cotton fabric – since I hadn’t fully decided on shape and fabric yet. Gives me freedom to play around and experiment a bit more. Great if you’re starting from scratch!

I went for a wider silhouette with adjustable waist and lots of movement (fabric) in the back. Do you like it?

Will cut the fabric tomorrow. Good night!

Back to the Work Room.

See you tomorrow!

So let’s do this! My Jubelee Mini Collection process starts right here! Let’s call it Gold Standard. The collection, that is. 😁

Made this sneaky little start already today New Year’s Eve, by draping this dress. Will it be a wrap dress? Let’s see tomorrow.

Do you drape your garments? Let me know. Share your experience below! And… Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best. ❤🌸🌷

See you tomorrow!
