Learning How To Make Your Own Dress? Join Me Here. by VENUSS(f): 8:07am On Dec 08, 2011 |
2yrs go i bought a sewing machine in a bid to learn to sew, but menn it has'nt been easy. I tink i got a bad sewing machine, its always givin me hard time and i cant get a good designer where am based to learn. Am also married so i cant travel to lagos to learn. If there is any1 on here that is learnin to sew, lets meet and discus challenges nd ways to tackle them. Lets inspire each oda nd so on. Advice from pros wil be wel appreciated too. I've bin learning on my own |

Venuus even if i direct you on how to fix the thread cutting ish, i dont think u are gonna understand it so, our best bet now is for u to take it to those who repair sewing machines so they can amend it and also service it 4 ya |

Aww this is so exciting, I’ve wanted to start a thread on topic this for a while but something always came up, so thank you Venuss for starting this. I’ve been practicing and learning to sew, and I have to say it takes a lot of patience and focus. The problem with your sewing could be the thread but you may also want to get it checked, you can get a Singer machine that tailors use in Nigeria it must be much better This is the link to a blog that I have been spying on but she doesn’t put up pattern however she does a lot of diy stuff that can be very helpful if you love to revamp your wardrobe http://emblemofbeauty..com/ Also if you have any trouble and need help trying to make something feel free to ask I can always help with creating the pattern or Darhmee as she has offered. I will also try and put up other links that I can find and there are also a lot of things you can find on YouTube |

This is what I’m working on now, I have already made the dress in red Ankara fabric but it is not the same thing, I only had about 1.5 yards of fabric so the sleeve had to be readjusted. Where I live I don’t have much access to Ankara so I have to make do with whatever I can get from my mum or I find around the house, I also didn’t do it with the neck embellishment. I will try and make the dress again in a different kind of fabric http://whimsyprints..com/2010/11/dresses-dresses-dresses.html This is another one that I want to get done in about a week or two http://glam.co.uk/2011/11/covet-the-marilyn-monroe-look/oasis-volume-fit-and-flare-dress-30/ Here are some links that I have found to help with the pattern making process Here’s a YouTube link on how to make a skirt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6htVUoRp5io And here’s another link on how to make a top pattern (thing is instead of measuring from the neck as she says I think you should start from your shoulder) you can also lengthen the pattern to make a dress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxhh1MLsxCg |

Sirheed i dunno any websites in particular but you can try and search online you are bound to find something. @venuss Yeah you should start one, it is so good for people who are looking for help and it is also a good way to let people see your designs. Here is another blog i found she's actually really good, she even does wedding dresses http://gbemisoke..com/ |
