mrs efosaval,we've missed you n this thread is actually dull now,hope you're doing fine

Please come back...mrs efosa

chief mrs madam val ooooooo. wer r u? or hv u taken election/ easter break?

hi to all.hummmm first I want to thank you all for keeping the thread going.i must have said here sometime ago that I actually use this thread to relax my self from my hectic day at work that's why I post so late in the night......so for me not to have been here for so long you can imagine how stressed up I must have been.work has been so overwhelming lately but in all I give glory to God.

Our January to March set in school just completed their 3months basic sewing class, as part of their requirements for completing of the programme they had to come up with at least 3 collections for their professional photo shoot.so part of the reasons why I couldn't come online here was because I and all my team at valisimo fashions had to work extra hard to make sure the project was a success .There was so much preparation we all had to do b4 the day which was Wednesday. I am happy to say that it went on very well.i was personally impressed by what I saw all our students presented during the photo shoot.this is all thanks to all the cooperation we saw between the students tutors as well as the administrative unit of valisimo fashions.we all worked hand in hand tirelessly to see this came to pass.soon as the edited pictures are sent to us I sure will post it.

Am happy for this election break.if nothing else the fact that we can all rest at home is something. I encourage us to turn up tomorrow as we take charge of our feature by voting wisely. I wish us all a peaceful Nigeria

I am so sorry for not answering most of your questions but hopefully b4 the week runs out I shall attend to them.

In photo
1) Mrs ilori's collection on her models
2) Mrs Atim ino's collection on her models
3) one of Toyin's collection on her model
4) Eghonghon'scollection on her models

jus postin my top now as i hadnt joind the thread when the tutorial was had. i hope it makes sence.

Yep time to answer some questions here.hope u all rested as I did.and I hope you all voted also now let's go.

Okay I noticed that most of the questions are not related to the topic we are presently treating which is trousers

the problem with answering Unrelated questions is that we just end up confusing Those who are new on the thread. That's why I said you should post unrelated question to me on WhatsApp

@zikkie you asked a question about fixing the zip on your trouser so I would answer this since it related.

The other questions are on sleeve, arm whole, peplum top and darts which can be done on a blouse project

The type of zip am putting the class through is the very basic type. The regular zips on trousers (male trousers) which has a flap flyer or lapel as some call it would actually be easy for a pro to fix not some one who's just learning .so that's why we are going for the basic on.

After identifying where you want the zip to be either side or front like mine . open the zip Placing it side to side on the seam and sew it down to the fabric. That's all to it.

I'm so happy to be a part of this thread i've gone tru d whole pages to the present..God will continue to bless u ma as u impact knowledge into others.

Thanks so much sis may God bless you too.

Hi to all. Ok I hope the lesson on zip is clear.to finish your trouser you may want to insert a band or not.dont forget to hem the leg part..This is how we end our trouser class.please you are free to ask all questions related to the trouser now b4 we move In to a new topic
Plus you can submit pictures of your project now if you have done yours.alos I want to say well done to all those who have submitted already .to those who are yet to do theirs I say you can do this its not hard at all.

Use this stay at home period wisely get on your sewing machines and make something fabulous for yourself. Coming weekend is also another long break you can use it to finish your abandoned projects.

Let's make something very simple elegant and colourful this easter. The reason why I am going for this is that it's a design that's not too complicated which means any one can do this. its a short dress which could also be rocked as a top so you would mostly like wear this when you make it. The colour arrangement is fantastic you can retain the white and change the middle colour to any other one.it could be white and blue, red ,green, orange, brown etc

During this we would now go into arm whole and sleeve

As usual I will need a minimum of 5 let's go to start the lectures on this.i am so ready and excited because I will also be free to do this this weekend since I will have good Friday and easter Monday at home

Fine! I'm in. I will try fixing the zip on the trouser I made and post the pix before the day runs out. Thanks Efosaval

EFOSAVAL:



This is how my pattern will be with my exact measurement.when I then transfer my measurement to fabric I will add seam allowance to it.

I will have my cut line as well as my sew line

Madam,i remember we already added 2inchs to d thigh as seam allowance earlier,my question is am i going to add another seam allowance to the thigh wen i've placed d pattern on d fabric.
