Hello everyone,am glad to be here again and to share my work with you all
It's been a stressful day emotionally but what keeps me going is focusing my attention on my work
It has a way of creating joy to me as a person despite whats going on.
Today i didn't make any dress for someone but i was intentional about being happy,so i decided to create something for myself.
I had this ankara fabric,it is a friend's traditional marriage uniform,but i didn't sew mine immediately because there was no time for me and i was deeply involved in the marriage.
So today,i got the material and i decided to sew it and be happy.
The materials i used were
- Scissors
- Measuring tap
- Black lining,hook and
a black colour thread
The first thing i did was to arrange the fabric,in a proper way for measurements
After folding it ,i took the length measurements which was 40inches.
For the next step i proceeded in taking my shoulder measurements which was 15inches
I took my burst measurements and i added two extra inches to it for sewing allowance.
And i cut it through.
The next step i created was to cut out the sleeve for the hand.
I did two of it for both hands.
After cutting it all out for sewing,i also cut out the black lining to use for the sewing.
Then i joined all the pieces up for sewing.
Finally my dress was ready and i am glad
that i made it today @needleworkmonday
A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS GONE THROUGH MY POST.

A lot of times we get carried away by making various things for our loved ones that we forget ourselves. You made the right choice, the outfit looks nice and it looks good on you.
You are just so correct @diyhub

Such a pretty outfit and the dress fits you well. It's good to be intentional about our own happiness. Thanks for sharing.
