Onnari, is the tulle compulsory?

@nikkishyne- well, it helps to give d@ 'Sika' look. As d dresses r always styled with tulle petticoats. It's optional tho.

Onnari is the best.. Been following your blog for a while now.. Sad I dint stumble upon this until now.. nehoo..will try to join in I just might be a bit behind schedule. This should be fun! Xoxo

Thats a good question dear,it might be a bit hard for a fresher in sewing to paticipate in this for now.but i will advice you get some books on sewing to help you through or better enroll at a fashion school so you do the practicals with an instructor

Hello all! Hope you had a great night? (For those of you awake already :-) Today, we begin our sew along with taking our body measurements so watch this space cos as you know, the Sew Along is a blog thing so after I post up there, I'll post here as well instead of referring you there.
Please get you sewing tools ready and your work space prepared as we begin marking and cutting tomorrow.
There's a new post about sewing without patterns here: http://www.thatssewnaija..co.uk/2013/05/thats-sew-patternless.html
Catch you later!

PS- I encourage you to post pics of ur fabrics, work-in-process and also share your experiences and 'wahala' as you progress. Thanks.

WHERE COULD ONE GET BOOK ON SEWING AND FASHION DESIGN PLS REPLY THANK A MILLION IN ADVANCE

I usually recomend this book from Alison Smith to my students............you can get it online or from a book guy that supplies my school,his name is victor and this is his number 08023077325. He sells the book at 5k and he delivers on call.there are other books you can get on sewing ,but so far i think this perticular book seems to help with the basic more. Cia spybot hope this is helpful.

Oya let the posting beging....................i shall open the flour with this pics showing my work area.........lets go there.
Thanks once again to onnari for coming up with this idea.fabulous thing dear

Hello everyone! Today our Sew – Along commences and I am so

happy! I worked a few hours today, got back and rushed to begin

posting!

So we begin by taking our body measurements.


Asides the basic measurements we come across and are more

familiar with (as in the image above), there are a few more we

would require in making garments, so in that regard, I’ll type out a

list of what you’ll need to get measured and how.

The Basic Blocks in garment making include the bodice (torso),

skirt(below the torso), Sleeves(arms) and trousers, but for the

SSWD see – along, we would only require the bodice and skirt

because it is a sleeveless dress, and no trousers involved obviously!

So here’s what you’ll need to get measured: ( Stand erect and have

someone assist you, and try to take this seriously as the success of

your dress depends on this J

Shoulder (measure the length of your shoulder from one end of your collar bone to the next)

Armhole (measure around your armpit)

Bust (measure your breasts at the fullest/highest point)

Apex (measure the length of your shoulder to your nipple)

Empire (measure the length of your shoulder down to your under bust, as well as the circumference)

Natural waistline (measure the circumference of your waistline. This is the narrowest part of your torso and is normally about an inch or two inches above your belly button)

Bodice (measure the length of your shoulder down to your belly button, as well as the circumference)

Hips (measure at the fullest part of your hips) - we wouldn't be working with this though.

PS. Take your measurements as you would like the dress to sit on you i.e. do not add any allowances.


see you on the next post.

@ efosaval - i love your enthusiasm thanks lots!
