Hey y’all – today we’re wrapping up the leggings series with an advanced class – how to take your basic leggings pattern and add details like pockets and ankle straps – really, whatever your imagination comes up with!

Hey y’all, today we’re going to talk about fabric drape and how it affects a garment. My Leralynn pattern calls for a drapey fabric like rayon, and I realized that exactly what drape is and how it affects the outcome of a sewing project is a subject that might need clarification. So I thought a good way to demonstrate would be with the same pattern in the same size sewn in different fabrics. That way you can compare and see the difference.

First, let me preface this by saying I’m not rich or trendy enough to go to every single new thing that pops up. Even if I was – I don’t have the time with two kids who don’t care yet about things like fine dining or public art. That being said, I still get around my town from time to time and would love to highlight the things I enjoy most about it. Twice a month I’ll be posting about events, food, music, and whatever else occurs to me that makes Orlando more than just ‘that place where Disney is.
