Hello Hive
Good morning friends and needlework lovers, how was your weekend and how is the new week treating you, sure good?
I have come to show you the tutorial on how i made the beautiful short gown for myself, i found out my native wears are beginning to grow old and i needed to make fresh ones but just casual wears
I have to iron the materials first to avoid excesses after sewing
Materials i used:
Ankara combined with spoted chyffun material
Sewing machine
Matching thread
Scissors
Chuck and rule
I folded the material into four from the back added 2.5 as the sewing allowance to all and cut both back and front at the same time with but i brought out zipper allowance of 1.5inches
I cut out 5 by 12 inches from the neck to the under burst area which i replaced with the spotted chyffun material with Ankara pleated round there to the neck
The measurements i use shoulder, burst, waist, hip and full length, is just a simple gown as i said earlier
I placed the Ankara on the spotted fabric to cut out the design making it easy for me and i added half inch for the sewing allowance
The sleeves are cut out
This material is too soft so i applied clothe gum, and sewing started, i joined the pleated part before the soft material
The front and back part, i have aso joined the lining here
I joined the back and front together
The sleeve has elastic, how i insert the elastic and fix the sleev
I love how beautiful it is on me, you can see to yourself 😁
Thank you for visiting my post, i appreciate your comments and support 🙏🙏
I remain your humble @ebonymama
