Hello beautiful people of the needle work community.

I'm excited to share another tip on becoming a well- grounded fashion designer.

Last week I shared a video on how to read a tape measurement which can help a designer sew with precision. Without knowing how to read a tape correctly, a person can never get a perfect bodice measurement, since that has been sorted out,I would share how to measure accurately.

One thing that helps our outfit looks perfect on ourselves or client is an accurate measurement.

Like I've always believed that knowledge is power only when it is shared. I've decided to come up with weekly tips on how to be a better needle worker especially for the tailors in the building.

I've not been able to make new outfits yet for clients and friends because the project in school is taking so much of my time but hopefully by February I'll be able to balance school and work. That way, I can now share more beautiful projects with you and shuffle it with some tips from school as well.

When I wasn't a fashion student, I made use of the tape the wrong way although my outfits were nice, but now I'm better equipped to make nicer dresses for clients and friends with the new technique of body measurement.

When it comes to accurate body measurement; are you aware that you need to make use of two tapes on your clients?

One is for getting their waistline, which means it would be tied around the boneless part of their waist, while at that, the other tape will be use to get their front length, back length and actual was it circumference.

I also learned to measure the biggest part of the wrist while making a long sleeve outfit. Prior to now, I measured the tinest part of their wrist, which is where the wristwatch seats but it's actually wrong. Everyday we learn and unlearn and that's why change is the only constant thing.

If you carefully watch this video I directed you'll see the right way to take a person's body accurate measurement. I was the one behind the camera, telling my friends what to do.🤣 one of them acted like the designer and the other the client, but I taught them the right way to take a body measurement and we filmed it just for you!

Some people found my last week tip helpful and it encouraged me to keep sharing what I learned in school.

I was also able to draft some bodice pattern using the new measurement technique.

Prior to know I made use of a freehand to cut clothes, but very glad that I can now draft with pattern as it helps an outfit fit like gloves on a person bodice.

My goal is to rebrand, and this means unlearning unprofessional ways of fashion Designing.

This is a fellow designer whom was a muse in class using the new technique of measurement and drafting.

Although, this is still a work in progress.

After adding the sleeve to this outfit today, it will be ready to show off here.

I'm sure you'd love to see the final look of this dress, I can't wait to share to you all too.
