DellyP:
I was searching for how to sew trousers when I stumbled on ur thread in nairaland. I had to go back to page 1 and read all thru n really I have learnt a lot. I'm still undergoin training but not in a fashion sch but wat I have learnt here is eye opening. More grace to you Efosaval in this 2016 to do that which you know how to do best. Will be joining ur facebook group right away.

Thanks so much and Amen

I saw this on Facebook recently..... It must have been answered now

[size=24pt]Back to Our December Project [/size]


This is where we are going, now I want to upload my process.

Went to the market some time in December looking for the right fabric...... Walked and walked the market all day and eventually settled for the Navy blue fabric 8 yards in total , but at the back of my mind I knew it would give me issues so I decided not to cut it.

A week after I went again and fortunately I got the sky blue one which is more lighter you need to see the smile on my face that day finally I got home and the inspiration to cut the fabric came

Most times before I cut I like to sketch out what am about to cut so that's the sketch I made with my measurements on it, let's start

I will start with the full skirt first.

Looking at my measurements I have half length 17 and full length of 53.

First I deduct my half from the full length 53 - 17= 36

I add 2inch to the 36 for seam allowance = 38
That's what I used to cut my skirt length. As for the top circumference at the waist I measured just 7 inch down.

I repeat the process 3 times because I want it very full.

Now imagine how full this skirt part will be after joining the three sections together (Actually I had to stop at three because my fabric was exhausted, if I had gotten like fifteen yards or more I would have had about six sections or more joined together) This is to say that full skirt designs like this, can have as many joint as possible. The beauty will only be seen at the end of your project.

Now this is just stage 1, to complete this skirt part I have to cut my taffeta and lining, then perhaps my hard net

Stage 2 the taffeta part.
The taffeta circumference might not be as big as the main fabric. Its not compulsory you cut the taffeta the way you cut the main fabric as long as you conceal all the joined areas neatly when sewing

Time for the bodice

My bust is 42+
My half length is 17

Divide my bust into 2,
42÷2 = 21.

Adding seam allowance.
21 + 5 (for seam) =26
That's why I have 13 on fold = 26

For the length I have 17 + 2 =19

The neck I measured 3 inch wide 1inch deep. Shoulder slope 1inch, arm hole 8, dart 2 inch each

For the back I just added zip allowance and cut it into 2.

Then I added my sleeve
Lastly for all the cuts I cut a replica of the main bodice on the taffeta as well as the lining,

Sewing time,

I sew the fabric and taffeta together first before adding my lining to cover the rough stitches. this process is repeated for the front block and back black plus the sleeve

I never knew I would make a living out of teaching ,but the trade I love brought my teaching skills out. To me there was no way I would go on in life without impacting the fashion design skills I had acquired to others.

Teaching has really been rewarding to me, it has made me learn so much my self, it's made me know so many people who I wouldn't have had to know if I wasn't a teacher,most of all teaching has taught me patience and humility, in the business of teaching you can't do without those
