I'm sort of struggling with the decision of whether to drop my draping class and take it with a different professor next semester. The woman teaching it moves waaaay fast, and speaks with a difficult to understand (for me) accent. After the demo on Monday, every single person in the class looked confused and desperate. This upcoming Monday is the last day we have to drop a class. I decided to attempt the homework, using my notes and the book, go to class on Monday, and make my final decision then. Since I adore my patternmaking professor, my plan, if I were to drop the class, would be to take it next semester with her. I don't think this is me being lazy (one of the things I've been trying to suss out), but that I think draping is a really important skill set to develop, and if I'm paying to take it, shouldn't it be with someone who I feel is really conveying the most information possible, rather than just teaching it to myself out of the book?
I decided to do a "dry run" of the homework on Friday night, on my own dressform at home. I think it went pretty well. Stay tuned....
My fitted t-shirt sloper with variations: two hem shapes, crew neck and v-neck.

I've been working hard this week editing 160 photo's and putting the finishing touches on my new pattern which will be available next week.
I had to submit three possible designs for my final project to my patternmaking teacher on Tuesday. I drew these on Monday, and actually ended up scrapping the ones on the right and left and drawing up some more on Tuesday before class. It didn't matter in the end, because the one in the middle is the one we decided on, which is funny, because it's also the very first one I drew.
