@Onnari and all the teachers, thanks for sharing your knowlegde so generously.
My dress is finished (still need to hem and attach buttons), but it looks fabulous on me even if I say so. My hubby was suitably impressed. grin

I'll add pictures to this post as soon as I get someone to take me with the dress.

ETA: Pictures updated, I still need to hem to knee length.

@onnari when is the class starting for this month
Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 12:12pm On Sep 12, 2013
So far we'v only got about 5 votes- we need a bit more to be clear on the piece to use for this month. Please ppl vote- voting ends on the 15th of this month. This is a jacket and a bit more complex than the previous dresses so we'll need TIME thus the rest of the 15 days of the month for everyone-. Thnx!
Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by Peddylove(f): 2:14pm On Sep 12, 2013
My vote, I like the jacket posted by Wizb. The ankara with high neck and two step flair. Also, the exclamation jacket.

Hi guys.... It's as if this september project is complicated and confusing as there are many designs.
I humbly suggest that the moderators choose a design to enable us embark on this project.
Thanx all.

Have a look at it again,get your fabric ready, and as soon as I'm settled(just got home :-) I'll type out necessary 'tools' for those of us who'll need extra help.
Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 7:39am On Sep 17, 2013
Ankara fabric, underlinning,fabric stay,shpoulder pads,buttons, short zippers(only if you wanna), contrasting fabric for the cuffs(it don't have to be black),notions.
See u guys later-have a great day!
Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by cheries: 9:41am On Sep 17, 2013
Thanx onnari. Pls, the ankara fabric will be how many yards? Also, what will be the size or length of the short zipper?
Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 9:51pm On Sep 17, 2013
Based on the photo u posted of yourself, I'd say btw 1.5 and 2 yards of ankar, seeing that it's long sleeved
+has a continuous lapel+would be lined half way in front in ankara.
If u using another fabric that comes in a width of 60" you'd use less. Ankara is 45" wide.
The zippers r really short,kinda like the ones used for ur jeans trousers.
