Yes, I do wish I went about things more systematically sometimes... To choose a very luscious, expensive silk for a first draping project might not have been the most reasonable thing... However, I have discovered that I work much better on the spur of the moment, the whatever-the-heck I feel like doing in a given moment, and that can barely ever be planned.
In my defense though: I DID buy and watch the draping classes from Paul Gallo over at
Craftsy, as well as the "Sewing with Silk" class with Linda Lee - both highly recommendable.
This came out
