I took a fashion draping class at a sewing school, but had to borrow the book for the class as it is pricey. I absolutely loved the class, and would really like to drape more patterns into fashions. This book would be a great help with that dream!

I love exposed zippers on the right type of dress, skirt or other garment. It gives a a little fashion edge to an otherwise simple garment. I hope to do this on a sewing project soon.

I love this color! I'll be looking out for it for apparel fabrics and home decor accent pieces. In some tones of orange, it looks great on deeper skin tones, like the woman in the photo. I made a lovely silk charmeuse dress in a color like this for my destination wedding trip and it was perfect with the tan I got in Mexico. I think it's a GREAT and fun color!!!
