I'm worried about being cold when we go to the titanic exhibit on Sunday as it's only going to be in the 40s. so I thought I would make myself a little wrap. I loved this patter that the vintage pattern lending library used...sadly I can't figure out if it's available anymore the whole thing just confused me. but it didn't look THAT complicated so I took a wack at making it up.

Back.

It looks pretty good! I'm thinking I'll make it 2" longer and add a couple of inches to the CF and CB, probably more to the CF. and start the under arm slashes lower. Otherwise pretty good. Now to just figure out what fabric I can use...my choice are rather limited. Chartreuse? perhaps pink? I have lovely red wool but then I'd look like a Christmas card.

Ah, I didn't know if you'd saved the picture and lost the link (which is totally something I'd do!).

And yea, you did do pretty well with the draping!
