Pattern Puzzle - Drape Collar Extension

Saturday was fun with loads of great answers in our #PatternPuzzle.  The final piece of the puzzle was the 'long pointy thing' that had nearly everyone stumped.  The grown-on band collar is an extension of the front drape in this bias cut top.


You'll find all the pattern making instructions on the website blog.

  1. I stumbled upon your blog a little while ago, have lurked for a bit, and now just want to say thank you for all your fascinating posts and puzzles. I really look forward to Monday mornings when I get one in my inbox. Your blog is terrific. I have signed up for a pattern drafting course in the fall and hope to try out some of your puzzles on myself. So thank you again. And your Pinterest boards are pretty luscious too !

  2. Anita, it would be very rude if I told you what that pattern piece looks like! Very adrift from my sewing and drafting but I'll catch up with you soon.

    This is the kind of shape my Design Director used to give me to work out (I was a 1st pattern cutter/technician back in my work life). I used to love them and would usually start something like this about 30 minutes before I went home, so that I could 'sleep' on it. By morning I would be able to go in and bash out a pattern for the sample room. Oh, I loved that job!!

    1. Hi Jacqui, it's great to hear from someone who has the same passion for complex patterns as I do. Please come and join us on the facebook page on Saturday morning when we have the #PatternPuzzles. You'll love them. And if you have any great styles that would make good puzzles we'd love to see them.
