Hello beautiful people
It's another beautiful day and I'm glad to be here once again to share with you the making of this beautiful sleeve. Many times when making an outfit, one tends to get stuck in the making of sleeve that will suit the outfit, I am usually faced with this challenge, sometimes after cutting out the bodice of the outfit, I will be left with nothing to make the sleeves then I have to think of a way out to make a choice of sleeve that will go well with the little fabric I have left or using another matching fabric if I have none left.
Initially, I wanted to start working on the monthly contest #moon as I have just few days to go but I just have to make this outfit for my sister who is in need of it urgently.
Don't be surprised that I had to first make the sleeves, this is because I had already cut out the bodice of the gown which was set aside for my main focus is on the sleeves, getting the right choice of sleeve is what will determine how the outfit will look like as I have nothing much to do on the main bodice.
After cutting out the main bodice, I went ahead to make a circle flare using the Ankara fabric with the round sleeve measurement after which it was taped round with a bias tape of matching colour while the main sleeve/ basic sleeve was cut out from the armhole to the elbow before sewing the circle flare together.
As simple as that, here is what it looks like, I will be sharing the complete outfit in my next post, stay connected, it's your girl @bimpcy ✂️✂️💃💃💃💃💖💖💖💖.
