I posted this iron on a sewing group and most of the comments had something in common how the iron was quick to burn clothes.


I remember one time when I was still learning, the embroider was through and needed to stone a full dress, I was the smallest of all that' was I spent almost the whole day stoning a lace gown and sweating like a Christmas ram ���


So here's a general tip to guide you when using iron - electric iron or a local one


�Always test the iron on a piece of cloth first before placing on the clothes you're ironing

� Depending on the texture of the cloth you are ironing, you can place a clean napkin on it that way the iron is not directly on your cloth but on the napkin

� Understand the kind of iron you are using, if it's electric make use of the control to be in charge of the iron and not the other way round

and if it's stove)coal iron place it on a wet cloth to reduce the heat.


Hope you find these tips helpful

Long story short, day of fitting I couldn't zip my gown ���

Tailor was confused, lady was getting vexed and me too was racking my brain

Then boom it dawned on me

�If you'll be wearing hip pad, there's no shame in it too. Wear it and let your tailor take correct measurements to avoid story that touch.

Deborah98:
I'll go with the second definition. Fashion is generalized. Style is just personalized,what's suits your person, body,size and shape.

Yeah that's correct

It's common to hear statement like "it's the current fashion" and "it's style,"


but are this two really the same? ��

let's find out ��


Style is simply a way an individual expresses himself either through choice of outfit, hair, accessories and the like.

It is unique to each individual. To a large extent your style is a reflection of you and your personality.

It may or may not be what's trending at the moment.



Fashion on the other hand is simply trends at a specific point in time. A style of clothing that is in vogue at a particular time.

Fashion is dynamic, one minute it's trendy the next year it's looking old school���

I concur. What about people who don't have much clothes like 2 jeans, 5 shirts, 2 pants how should they care for their clothes without out-washing it?

�The keyword will be maintaining the few you have, once in a while wash your jeans with blue

�Wash your shirts with starch also and iron properly

�If there are any white among the shirt add bleach to maintain the color and a little bit of blue when rinsing


Hope it helps

Thanks for reading through

Let's go back to the''you are what you wear'' cliche

shall we??

you keep hearing dress the way you want to be addressed and you believe it's just mere words stringed together

Well,they are not

And if you still think they are

put on a spaghetti crop top and a bum short at and walk past a motor park and come back and give me your response

You certainly can't compare the response with when you are properly dressed


Why do you think those touts hail men on suits and beg for tips if it's not because they perceive rich vibes.



Take a close look at your outfits, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak” – Rachel Zoe

“Dressing well is a form of good manners” – Tom Ford

In all your good manners don't forget to include dressing well to it,

because if you dress shabbily the chances of being looked down upon at high


And if you are looked down how would people know you have good character and behavior??


Dress well

Dress well

Dress well

In other news I'm looking for who started the Friday Ankara wear work trend ���

So I had finished making the dress and was adding last minute senrenren when I noticed the fabric had factory fault


you know those lines the thread didn't go through well and it looks like it'll tear off ba...yeah


I was shocked, pained,angry and tired at the same time

What should I do oo����

The time I had wasn't meant for loosing or redoing a cloth

so my mind started trouble shooting with various options.

mind 1: just leave it like that she wouldn't know

mind 2: Even if she know, pretend to be shocked about it

mind 3: it's not your fault but the factorys so just look away

mind 4: It's at the back, it's not that obvious so don't loose it

mind 5: Add an extra design to cover it


My mind was practically like a heated plenary session in our house of reps���

But then,, with deep pains in my heart I loosened it and replaced it

This is the not so cool part of the job ���

Talk about conscience and building an integrity brand ✌️✌️

Your fabrics are in good hands, send them in and let's create something for you this weekend/1st Sunday/ Saturday

T for tenks

Awwn

This is beautiful


Cheers to the confident woman

Ever bought a fabric only to notice it bleeds like a wounded being??

The type that changes the color of water totally

Or the one that changes the color of other clothes if you had mixed together

Here's how to save your cloth from fading out real quick or spoiling other clothes

1. Wash clothes with similar color together... don't go washing your whites with colored clothes EXCEPT you've tested it and confirm that it doesn't bleed

2. DON'T wash colored clothes with hot water regardless of how deep the stain is. Hot water weakens the dye that was used in making the fabric.

3. AVOID bleach on any cloth that isn't white

Thank you for engaging

When it comes to clothing the color you wear can be said to most likely represent your personality.

So since it's independence let's highlight green so other colors will be envious ��


Green signifies nature, peace and life.

It is very calm and not too shouty on the body

The cool part is it comes in different shades so you have a wide range of green to pick from.

Emerald green

Mint green

Olive green

Sea green

Which is your favorite shade of green?
