Fashion Draping: Bias Design
Flatter any form with the sophisticated cowls, twists and ruffles of bias-draped fabric. Designer Paul Gallo shares decades of high-fashion experience as he teaches you how to drape on the bias and create pattern pieces for stunning blouses, dresses and skirts. You'll learn how to choose the appropriate fabric, whether slinky or structured, and drape it on a dress form, then turn your draped design into a paper pattern. Explore pleats, tucks and twists as you incorporate many draped elements into a single pattern and create a bias-cut dress or blouse of your own design!

"This is a fantastic class full of useful information and techniques when you want to make a garment on bias! Paul Gallo's teaching style is relaxed and to the point. There is space for your own creativity. The possibility of making notes when watching the class and watching the class over and over again is wonderful. Even being more advanced in sewing, I still learned a few new techniques and got some useful tips."
Another great Craftsy class!"
