The Koester school book of drapes; a complete text book and course of instruction in merchandise draping. wini.;s should l)e 56 Lessons in Draping Having completed the third or rear left hand sweep the »>ods are carried from thetop down on the opposite side to the floor where another sweep, identical with the thirdone, is constructed. As the folds are already made at the top (point B), all that is neces-sary is to carrj the goods to the proper point, pin tlic selvage to the floor and arrangethe folds. When properly arranged, the front and rear sweep on the left side arc atright angles to each other. The same is true of the sweeps tin the rif;ht side. For the trimming of this drape take one-fourth yard of velvet cut on the bias. Thencut this piece in halves along a line drawn at a right angle from the longest side of thepiece as shown by the dotted line in Fig. 4. Only half of the piece of velvet is used. Twocolors are required for the trimming of tliis drape, or one color in two different pieces should be cut in the mamicr described before. The kn,ot thai will be described. here requires two pieces of velvet. Take the lighter colored piece and fold it across thesquare end into four equal folds, as shown in Fig. 5.

This shouldbe arranged so that the four pleats are turned towards the front and the end of thevelvet hangs to the right. The darker piece of velvet is folded in the same manner asthe lighter one, and is fastened just back of the f^rst piece and in exactly the same posi-tion. The end of the first or lighter piece of velvet is carried down beneath the foldsof the two forward sweeps as shown in Fig 6. It is tlun l)rought up on the left handside and held erect in the left hand, while with the riyht band the darker piece is twistedonce around the lighter piece, as illustrated in Iig. 7.
