WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS USED IN FASHION DRAPING?


A good self-respecting pattern maker or seamstress needs to have a basic sewing kit, right?

This kit needs to have good scissors, a tape measure, pins... rulers....


Thinking about these materials and the doubt that many people have about the materials used in draping, I decided to make a complete list of the materials we use to make the three-dimensional modeling technique.


This list is super complete, so don't despair, as some of these items I bought recently, so you don't have to get them all right away. This list is divided according to each stage of the technique:
