Subject: Re: Supplies Date: 12/7/09 1:57 PM Materials list:
A garment you want to copy—start with a plaid or striped garment, so you can really see the grain lines well.
1-1˝ yard silk organza, off-white, grey, or pastel in color. I’m very specific about fabric, fiber, and color here for a number of reasons. Polyester won’t work as well, and chiffon is too unstable. So, silk organza!
Colored pencils—the Berol Prysmacolor artists pencils work best, as the marks stick to the organza better
Ruler, pins, paper. Drafting square, and other tools to draft the pattern pieces

Date: 12/7/09 2:04 PM Kenneth, I am planning to copy a bias skirt. Will the techniques be the same for that? ------
