My first draping book was Connie Crawford's which turned out to be too confusing. I was fortunate to pick this one up a year or so ago (used, which meant big discount) and like it much better.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055410123914346485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-49428615378806946342010-04-16T20:08:12.095-04:002010-04-16T20:08:12.095-04:00How absolutely Glorious for you!

We New Yorkers certainly are spoiled. <br /><br />Nancy K, I'm in the process of looking for a class. I've studied at FIT before, and their classes are a little intense for me as a home seamstress. I'm hoping to find a one-on-one situation with someone who can go at a slower pace, with no final exams!
