Good morning hivers, hope your weekend is going well. I'm here to show you how I made this A line gown.
Here I have my Ankara material, lining, Asoke, Zip, cotton bayas, stone, tread, tape, chalk, and my scissor .
First thing I did, was to measure out my length from the full material and fold it by two, i ensure it gives me the size I want and measure out my hand pit and neck using my chalk to trace it out and cut I also fold the other side of the material and place the first one I cut on the other one and I give out one point five inches allowance for my zip for the back, you can choose to put two inches.
After that I cut out the Asoke for the design, for the neck and then the hand.
And then I cut out the hand by ten inches.
After that I proceed to cut out lining for it.
I started with the front by joining the Asoke to have that V shape.
Then I proceed to fixed it at the front part.
After fixing it then I put in my lining. After lining I used the cover of a cup to trace out circle on the down part, after that I cut it out. After cutting it out, I used my cotton bayas to Sew it outside, after that I turned and resew it inside then I iron it.
This is the full front.
This is the back
And now moving to the hand before fixing the Asoke I firstly sew on top of the black line on the Asoke close to the lemon green, after that I started dragging out the lemon green out.
And this is it.
After all that I proceed to join the both side of the gown together, fix my hand, and the hand.
Then I proceed to put in the stones round the circle, after arranging the stones, I had to use a tick material, sucked it in water and then place on it before putting the iron, cause the Ankara is more like a leather.
And finally here is the A line gown ready to wear.
Thank you for stopping by to check on my post. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
