With the weather remaining so grey and bleak the best thing I have found is to get into bed and read to get inspired. Drape Drape (ISBN: 9784579112531) is a slender pattern book I bought in Japan, as the title says it’s all about clothes that drape. Once I get over this winter ennui I might even make something from it. So much cleverness in getting something to drape ‘just so’.
