Draping Tabitha

I'm finally starting the process of making a fitted cover for Tabitha, my dress form.  I'm taking some online classes through Craftsy with Paul Gallo to learn how to drape fabric for fashion design.  I'm so excited to be learning this!  I also ordered a book called Draping for Fashion Design.

Once I am finished with the draping and making a cover for my dress form, I will then make a muslin to fit myself.  Then I will put that muslin on Tabitha and pad her out where necessary to be more my size.

Below are some pictures of the draping process and a picture of my latest book!

Thanks for reading,

Marla
