ISo I was super-excited to get my copy of Drape Drape 2 in the post. It's a smaller book than I thought. So far the favourite pattern is an asymmetric top :
Sorry about the sideways pic. New iPod touch. I think this is going to be a really versatile pattern for making comfy tops to lounge about in and maybe something in a more luxurious fabric for going out. (Ha! My fabulous social life consists of a monthly trip to Wetherspoons with similarly knackered mums).
Other possibles include a best top/dress that could look good:
Cowl neck dress (obviously need to wear something underneath this).
Batwing dress. Could look a bit dodgy round the hips...
I rather like this petal skirt too:
But I think this could be a drape too far:
The book cost £13 so I figure if I get 2 good patterns out of it, it's paid it's keep. So, off to the fabric shop in Birmingham on Saturday to try to find some suitably lux jersey to get started with... Wonder what I'll come back with...
