Greetings dear creative hivers, I hope we are all having a good week going.
I woke up feeling down after being faced with an emotional rollercoaster yesterday watching a loved one fighting depression and suddenly becomes violent, at that point, I know all they need is love, but when they keep resisting and further drown deeper, we have no choice than to seek professional help.
In times like this, when I'm worried and can't seem to take my mind off bad situations I keep myself busy with sewing, I hope this person feels much better, I know it's going to take a little time, and I can't wait to see things fall in better places.
I decided to keep myself busy making this bubu dress with fringe hem for my younger sister, she had admired this similar style that I made for myself as a mother's gift to self, and asked that I make one for her too, she is a mother as well, so here is my mothers day gift to her as well, for being an amazing mum to her kids,
being a Mother is one role that demands so much from us, yet we do it effortlessly, sacrificing ourselves in the process, a lot of stress and all which sometimes leads to depression just like what this relative is currently ongoing, I wish a seminar can be held to orientate women about self-care, we are the perfect giver of care but when it comes to ourselves, we have none left and it gets worst when those around us don't care either.
This is a sewing post, I'm just feeling so emotional right now, so let's get right into it then, how I showed care and made a mother know that she deserves all the care and love in the world through this beautiful dress.
Materials used
- Ankara fabric
- Plain crepe fabric
- Fringes
Cutting And Sewing Process
I started by folding the fabric of about 2 yards into two on the middle then into four folds by the sides now, then I trimmed out the back neckline of 1.5 inches depth and 3 inches width.
- Opening it up, I also trimmed out the front neckline, 3 inches down to the hem.
- I measured around the front cut-out neckline from one end to the other, then used the gotten measurement to determine the length of the plain black crepe fabric, on fold it is 3 inches, and 6 inches when opened.
- I sewed the plain fabric around the front cut-out neckline and left about 12 inches to accommodate the neck.
- Moving on, I cut out front pocket pieces, which I sewed to both sides of the front
- And finally I folded the hem of the dress, sewing the fringes round. Here is the beautiful final look.
I know my sister will be so happy to receive her new dress gift, the happiness on her face is all I need to make my day, looking forward to it.

Lol that descriotion, i'm sure the dress style will look good
Actually it seems like we are facing the same kind of situation. My sister is also battling depression and it's really difficult to keep things in order and still remain sane.
It's good that you found something to keep you busy and away from the overwhelming emotions.
Eeya stay strong for her, it is well with us. Thank you sis❤
Wow, it looks so beautiful dear sis, I don't know how it will look in me for now if I decide to sew for myself, maybe I will wait till I deliver before I made for myself because I like the style, a lot of people around me like wearing it in different styles so I come to like it so much and I love the fringe at the down hem, the fabric looks great, well-done dear sis, for adding more beauty on your sister, more wisdom dear🙏🙏🙏
