Any fans of "drape drape" here? Japanese pattern sewing magazine
poplin Advanced WA USA Member since 5/28/06 Posts: 1355	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/5/10 4:54 PM I have yet to begin tracing one of the patterns from the first drape drape pattern sewing book. Already chose the perfect rayon-lycra knit for it, too. Here are a few sample images. I can't believe that Bunka recently came out with drape drape 2. Here are a few sample images.

Date: 7/5/10 7:26 PM I have the first one but no plan to make anything from the book yet. The 2nd one is nice too. I might buy it. Thank you for the news. I can't wait to see your creation!

But if this first drape drape dress turns out awesome, I'll try my very best to get a review and photos out to you! ------ Dec 2012: 2 yards Her needlework both plain and ornamental was excellent, and she might have put a sewing machine to shame. ~James Edward Austen-Leigh, about Jane Austen

Oh well. One less thing to spend money on.

All the girls my age in San Diego are all wearing this style. Thank goodness that my ex is Japanese. He's going to be reading me this entire book for the next few weeks. ------ My Store: http://shop.unsteadyboutique.com/ My Blog: http://sandiegoevilldoers.wordpress.com/
