In July, I had an exhibition at A-frame, and I made a drape for the show. It was one of eight drapes I had sketched earlier this year. It was a cozy show partly because A-frame is a perfectly cozy place, and partly because of the people who visited. It was also lovely to see them trying on the drape which cocooned them.

Here are some pictures of the show.

And today, I wanted to share a few photos of the making process.

After the cutting of the fabric, each piece was placed and pinned. Then they were all hand sewn on to the main fabric.

I wanted the drape to have some volume, so I sandwiched some wool inside.

After placing the wool inside, I hand quilted the whole drape.

A shaky photo of the drape and I. If you closely, I’m wearing a fanny pack which holds my thread, scissors, pins, and needles : )
