This week, we dove into the technical process of turning our draped triangle jacket design into a functional pattern, with a special focus on adapting it to fit my own measurements. We went over the entire draped piece on the form, making decisions about length and fit, and then I demonstrated how to add a […]

This week, we dove right back into our exciting new series on draping with triangles, and the creative energy was definitely flowing! I wanted to continue exploring the incredible versatility of this shape, showing how just a few simple pieces of fabric can be transformed into sophisticated and modern garments. We played with a couple […]

I was so excited to kick off a brand new draping series today, all centered around one of the most versatile and powerful geometric shapes: the triangle. You can create an endless variety of designs, I would say at least 15 to 20 completely different looks, just by playing with triangles of different sizes and […]

In this week’s live session, I was excited to share another simple but incredibly powerful “creative fold” technique that I call the “envelope fold.” It’s a quick, five-minute trick that creates the illusion of a twist or a knot on the fabric, which can then be used as a beautiful focal point for a dress […]

In this week’s live session, I decided to start a personal project and take you all along for the ride: making clothes for myself! I wanted to create a new top inspired by one of our past projects: a design with a beautiful, effortless drape created by a curved hemline. Instead of draping from scratch, […]

In this very technical and detailed session, we completed the final and most crucial step in bringing our creative fold dress to life: translating all of our draped pieces into precise, flat paper patterns. We took everything off the form and worked through the puzzle of marking, tracing, and trueing each piece—the front top, back […]

This week, we picked up right where we left off with our beautiful, Vivienne Westwood-inspired draped dress. The goal for today’s session was to move from a conceptual front drape to a complete garment by draping the back pieces and marking everything meticulously so we are ready to create the flat pattern next week. This […]

In today’s session, we continued our exploration of the “Creative Folds” technique, but this time, we focused on how a single, small-scale folded detail can inspire a complete and complex garment design. I wanted to show you my personal process for moving from an abstract drape on the form to a fully realized design concept. […]

This week, I was so excited to introduce a brand new series of creative draping techniques that are a bit more advanced and hybrid in nature, which I call “Creative Folds.” Unlike zero-waste or geometric methods, this technique is about creating unique, architectural shapes and details by folding the fabric in specific ways before you […]

Welcome to this week’s Live Session! I decided to try something completely spontaneous and fun today, which I’m calling the “Pillowcase Challenge.” The idea came to me while I was decluttering and found a bunch of king-size jersey pillowcases I no longer needed. Instead of throwing them out, I challenged myself to use their simple […]
