First Day of Draping

I've been looking forward to doing the draping today since our summer project. I've taken out loads of the books from the library and had a good look through them. I haven't really started our final booklet yet but I'm hoping I have plenty of time, according to my learning agreement timetable I should be fine. Although I do need to add in some quality blog time.

When I started draping this morning I wasn't sure how I felt about it. Then I realised I didn't like it at all, it wouldn't really do what I wanted it to, but I didn't really know what that was. But after an hour or so I realised I was really enjoying it. A day at uni has never gone so fast! And I can't wait to take my design off the stand tomorrow and turn it into a pattern. It did get quite confusing because I didn't cut much of the fabric off, so parts were attached to other parts that you couldn't see, and I have to find room for a zip, and I had to add a seperate bodice pattern in. But I really like it, and think it will be useful for designing for the final collection.
