And Sew On:(1:03:07)

Draped dress was due. Paper pattern, too.    

Noticed that I had had sewn the bodice backwards, and the darts were on the outside.

Ripped them out and put them inside.  

Also, draped  a sloper for knit fabric.  Less ease.

We mention Sew Many Dresses Sew Little time

 

Couldn’t get the teacher to tell us how draping is done on a live model
