My mum lost her mother and sister. The burial is slated for 2 weeks..... Thanx so much our lecturer for this wonderful lesson. I made 6 pieces skirt as she requested and it was very easy and simple. This is the pic after cutting...... will post the finished work later

Glamourprincezz:
Generally d side of a purse should be abt 4 inches unless u want ur purse to open wide, mind u if its too wide things you put in there will fall off. so u need four inches for d side amd an extra 1" on both sides making 6" all togeda. so d fabric u will cut is 6 in width by d length of ur purse.i.e 6 by 5(from the measurement we have been using). multiply d length by 2 so dat it will serve as lining.

Please ma, can u show us the sides with illustrations maybe using piece of paper cos that's my main problem. Thanks for your time and efforts.

Join you fabrics and set aside.
Get your brown paper ready or cardboard.

welcome ma.....pls, is this for the front or the back... Also, the armhole (6.5), will not be too small cos I normally use 8?

larosa: Blue floor length dress with ankara waist band. The idea was to make a curved band that would look like a belt. The dress has front and back peep-hole at the neckline.

I love this.... Can u teach me how to make it?

Hello Colleagues,
I have a suggestion to render... As the year is rounding off, i suggest that we do a simple outfit as the moderators or tutors (Onnari & Efosa) should make a list of projects that we will carry out from january till december, so that we will prepare on time and avoid this continuous posting of pics and debating on which one to embark on.
Thanx all.....

TOYNEX: pick one of ur beaded wire, gently open d eyes and insert d eye on another wire. continue like this until. u have joined all d wire or till u have a desired length.

Good day ma, thanx for the illustrations that u did. I understood them perfectly well. Thanx a lot.
Pls, i want u to use pic to explain this last part cos that is where i'm confused. Thanx

Good morning, ma.
I stumbled on this thread this morning... I love it and would love to participate but pls, I NEED ILLUSTRATED DIAGRAMS to enable me participate in the ongoing project.
Thanx for ur time

TOYNEX: now! Its time to join d pieces together. To join, pick the back and down, or any. Two pieces in d right order, cut a convenient lenght of rope,lay d two pieces on a flat surface in the right order (that is d way they should be on d finished purse) pass the rope through the last bead on each edge of d two pieces, confusin? Remember d A B C D we started with, the B and C form edges while d A and D are middle men(lol) do u get now, after passing this rope, pick a new bead and cross d ropes as usual passing left to right and vice versa, the proceed to d next hanging beads (or edge) and pass d ropes through a edge on each piece then cross again with a new bead, continue like this till u v joined all d pieces together..... QUESTION TIME

EFOSA VAL: Cut your linning the same size as the main fabric,sew the shoulders together then place your piping on the egde of the fabric from the neck down to where your 2inch is ,sew round after that use your linning to turn it inside out

@ Efosa, thanx a lot

EFOSA VAL: You are so right. pips make una try na.

Cherish and odunamine ,Weldon dear.can't wait to see your finished job

thanks to all for your love and support.may god bless the works of our hands amen.

@ Efosa, pls, i have a question concerning the front of the jacket. The 2inches at the front, how do i handle it? I'm confused. Please, put me through so that i can start with the piping.....Thanx

Now, my question...... There is 2inches at the front. How do i pipe it? What exactly do i do to it? I'm confused.

I have joined the shoulders(i.e the back and the front)
