The Drapery

Thanks again for your beautiful messages and orders. We’re working hard to get everything out in the post asap! In the meantime - our opening hours this week have changed:
Wed/Thurs/Fri: open 10-4
Saturday: Closed (Jane has a choir concert!)

Opening hours next week TBA, depending on what’s still left. Online is still open, as are local pickups if you can’t make it in. ❤️

With a big deep breath, we would like to let you all know that we have decided to close The Drapery. It’s been a difficult decision, but the best one for us. We’ve had an incredible ten years, met so many beautiful people and had a lot of fun along the way. We’ll be finishing up at our Fullarton premises toward the end of October. The ongoing status of our online store is still not confirmed. We will honour all outstanding gift vouchers until we close. More details to follow, but for now we just want to say thanks to our wonderful loyal customers for all the chats, laughs and shared love of fabric. Much love, Fiona, Jane & Lauren xx

On the blog: pants you can move in? With a really low-stress zip fly insertion method? HECK YES. It's the Papercut Strata pattern and you can read all about it here: https://bit.ly/3RELO15

The good news about this garment is that the Cotton Cambric sewed like a dream. The bad news is that the sizing is vast (oops, didn't make a muslin). This is the Sew House Seven Remy Raglan pattern with gathered sleeve add-on. From multiple reports the sizing of the 'curve' range is kinda weirdly excessive and even in the 'regular' range, people are sizing down. I live, you learn 😅
