So I greet you all once again it’s your favorite boy @smilestitches back on your screen. hope you all are doing perfectly well, am actually glad to share my creativity once again with you all it’s actually a pleasure to be here once again with you all.
So friends I want to sharing from start to finish how I got another amazing outfit done @smilestitches. We put smiles on your faces through our mind blowing creativities. So guys stay connected to your preferred brand and enjoy the session.
I was actually confused on which style to give this my new client so I thought of making something deferent from the regular just to clear my confusion.

Items used:

  1. Plain white fabric
  2. Collar gum
  3. White thread
  4. Strength 😂

My cutting processes:

I lay the white Fabric on the table draft out the measurement of my client using a sketcher, I was done sketching the front view then I cut it out using the front view to draw the back and cut it out, along with the both sleeves which were long sleeves and the back facing too.

Quick one for those who had noticed I added strength to the sewing items I used because mhen this pattern of cloth am sewing needs a truck loads of it ooo I need strength to full this off just look the arrows in the front of this outfit that alone took me days to finish ironing then sewing them together neatly took me hours on one thing it’s not easy to make a native attire as this ooo, this is call etipo it’s our traditional wear used for traditional occasions. So I needed strength to pull this off thank God I made it through.

My sewing processes:

First step:

I first ironed out a straight line to indicate the middle of the cloth to help me design right.
Now after that was done I took the remaining fabric to do an arrow I did so many arrows each roll was 25 arrows with an iron, I bend the fabric in a triangular form that was how I did the arrows but guys it wasn’t easy tho.

Second step:

After the first step was done I took the collar gum and I cut size of 1.5inches and length of 13inches, I cut 4 of them and I gum them to the fabric and I use them too join on all the sides to form the front.

Third step:

I took the gum again and cut size of 1inches in a pair for the front flap and I did it and then i join the shoulder and both sleeve and the body size and my job was done. It’s actually easier said than done 😂 😂.

Now I’ll be moving to the neck and band for the sleeve, I would have done that but my collar gum finished and all market is close today so maybe I’ll post the completion in my next post but I just had to make a post today.
