EFOSA VAL: @marylandcake, your style selection will help you determine what perticular fabric to use.all the fabrics you mentioned will give u defferent effect if you use that to make the same style
So my advice is determine your end result then select the fabric u think will give you a better result.hope this help.


@Evicshola am happy u are following too,as for the botton you can add if you want or not.for the sleeve u might need an actual class or a physical tutor on it.

@Temibayo sorry I don't stay around ikorodu and thus I do not know any fashion school in that area.

Thanks.

@Efosa thanks.

I vote for the black dress.

@ Efosa Val, please hope it isn't too late to ask a question on the jacket.
Just started working on mine today. And I don't know how to determine the size of the pocket or where to place it on the fabric (how high or low or equally on both sides of the seam).
Please, can you help me out. Or anyone who has worked on theirs. Thanks
I will post my finished work before the end of the week, hopefully.

Hello all,
Here is a rough sketch of the dress im planing to sew. The next stage is taking the my measurements andcutting out my patterns. With update you. Thanks for all your support.

This is a picture of the material i bought too much of each as i wasnt sure of the dress style. 3 metres of satin and 3 metres of lace.

So I'm posting my photos and thought to select simple pieces as I'd like to engage more of beginners and people who are relatively new to sewing so they don't feel left out or frustrated by complex pieces.

That should do....don't want to over clog this space!

beautiful dresses, I vote for the Last Top.

I vote for onari blues dress.

My collections

from Onnari's pictures, i vote for the first pix(long chiffon dress) and the 9th pix(brown short gown with black lace insert

at the shoulder and the hem)

@Evicsholar,ehmmmmm your collection is kinda complicated oh

Hello Colleagues,
I have a suggestion to render... As the year is rounding off, i suggest that we do a simple outfit as the moderators or tutors (Onnari & Efosa) should make a list of projects that we will carry out from january till december, so that we will prepare on time and avoid this continuous posting of pics and debating on which one to embark on.
Thanx all.....

Hello,I hv been followin this thread quietly..nd it hs sooo helped me in many ways.
I vote the blue and white dress,d one with a white cape.

;DI've been a visitor on NL since 2007,but this thread made me join nairaland, well done Onnari and Efosa y ou guys have been a great source of inspiration, I just setup my sewing machine yesterday, let d sewing begin!!!

woooo girl this is so lovely
First of all well done and thanks for finishing.

So here are my obsavations.the first is on the shoulder,it looks abit too long for ur shape.so when making a next one please try to reduce the lenght by 1 inch on both sides.note that the shoulder cut is not as deep as the way we cut for blouses.
Secondly it seems ur rist measurement is a bit tight.needs like an inch plus.
Lastly the measurement on ur hip seems abit tight for u so it might need like an inch or 2 for a next time project

Ur waist line hummm perfect,bust line perfect,ur bias insertion is also excellent. well done babes well done.


To all, great job people while voting.pls make sure u vote for ur best easy to sew out fit, who knows u just might wear it for christmas

You can find Christmas Clothes for children from many website. but i want to share 1 website from where you can get the good collections with attractive prices. So don't miss that chance. Get the opportunity on Christmas occasion.

@Wizb, thank you.
@Efosa Val, thank you very much. Yaaaaaay! I'm so so happy
I have taken the corrections, will implement them in my next project.
