Not too long ago, I posted about Holly, the tee shirt I quickly draped for the Holly-days.
For those who haven't yet been bitten by the draping bug, here's the way it feels for me, when I'm creating a work of fabric art.
I had a lot of fun seeing how fast Holly went together, especially compared to Lucy. Lucy is a linen dress, my final project for draping class. I like her a lot, but she was quite a lot more involved than Holly.
In Lucy's case, I created a pattern I can reuse. Holly is a one-off. No other tee shirt will ever be quite like her! I draped the fabric directly on the form - just like the really fancy, schmansy couture customers get. Nobody else will ever have a tee just like Holly! :-)
So far I've worn Lucy once and Holly four times. And, as you can see, I've already swapped necklaces and turned her into the perfect Valentines tee. No, it's not too early!
Hummmmmmm. Yeah, both were worth the effort I put into them.
I can see that draping is another newly developing skill that's going to really keep me.....

With a change of necklace, I'm already in a Valentines mood |
