• M7052 + Longer peplum remake

    I really like the long peplum look on tops and jackets.  I think it adds a nice feature to garments and they are flattering.  I’ve been on this “hacking” rampage trying to get the most use out of my patterns.  I mean, I’ve spent so much time adjusting them to my body, it just seems wrong to only use the pattern once, right? I purchased this bandana print locally, it says Chambray, but it wasn’t as drapey as the rayon Modal or Tencel chambray, but I wanted to give it a try.  This fabric is light weight, but doesn’t have the drape I would like, a little more structure so…
