[size=28pt]Collars / Lapels [/size]

Collars are a specially cut fabric placed at the upper part of neck of some outfits such as jackets suits blazers.the collars can be made to stand or folder when worn.the length and width of the collar is usually determined by the selected style, and the specified measurement given


Lapels are immediately below the collar.the way it's shaped determines the name it's called

@ Teeworld 13........how much did u get ur electric sewing machin? Can it make button holes, zig zag e.t.c?

It depends on the one u get thou. some come with a stitch Library while others come with a disc that you can change to the desired stitch you want.and they will do anything ranging from zip zag to botton hole etc

Now the resumption question

topdiva:
val, plz ma, I wanna know when a new session for advance class is starting.

One is about to start next week.usually We work with you will a curriculum so u actually don't miss anything.
As you register your class starts.

. Chai. .... just 5 minutes that I stepped out of this class every thing done turn haywire
Ok ok ok every body calm down I will sort all your questions biko


I will start from the male outfit question.

mobhorlarjee:
Sorry people.. Is Valisimo fashion school only meant for female fashion cos am a guy but love fashion n I'll like for both sex. Thanks

No it's not for female alone.just that most questions asked are on female outfits.thats why it seams it's a female thing
So if we get more questions on male stuff we would treat it.


At our fashion school we teach male and female classes and we have male students as well.

bleble14:
Good evening Madam Val, please i beg u in d name of God, am new here and in sewing, please ma can u help me on how to do a princess dart, d measurement and how do i know where to start d princess dart on a dress. God bless u cause u are really doing a good job here

thanks ok we will do it but after the lapel I promised adedoyin .

The following post is a reply to a question asked in one the groups on Facebook.i thought I shear it here too.

Question- What is the basics of sewing .?


Valisimo Fashion School
3 months Basic curriculum break down

At the end of our 3 months basic class there are what we consider before issuing out certificate.

1 can the person take measurements accurately/translate measurements into fabric.

2 does the person understand the concept of cutting. Understand the principles of seam allowance while cutting and can the person cut and manipulate the 5 theories of block construction in making clothes eg
5 Theories of Block construction in pattern
a, front block bodice,
b, back block bodice.
c, front block skirt
d, back block skirt
e, sleeve block

3.Can the person sew neatly with sewing machine.sewing to me entails ironing every seam as you sew.also does the person understand the concept of lining clothes well while sewing .

4 can the person analyse a style.eg she sees a dress and can tell immediately what was done on the outfit.is it a princess dart .gathers , V neck line etc.

5 orientation of a fashion designer. To survive in this fashion business a person needs the right orientation
Which is fashion designing as a profession is NOT CHEAP!!! If a person works with cheap fabrics all the time such a designer can never be taken seriously by those that matter in the industry. If the designer is lazy she will never see the need to work on common mistakes while sewing which would end up affecting she level of service. If a designer doesn't see the need to take pictures of their finished projects how does she want to be a trend setter in the industry. In fact to these type of "tailors" photo shoot is a luxury instead of a necessity. So we help change their orientation so that at the end they are taken seriously as professionals in the business

the ability to know these things shows a person understand the basic principles in sewing. thus we issue our certificate.


Next is the lapel/collar class.

Thanks Thanks Thanks

Its really Good to be back kindly follow the group on Facebook it's really easier to post there .I don't have to resize the pictures I post and to me that's fantastic

Xone3:
please ma, is the hip the blouse hip I.e below the blouse waist or the skirt hip. Thanks ma.

yet its blouse hip

The IRO part I measured 2 yards 10 inch for it and folded the 2 side edges with 2 inches while the top and hem line I used half inch just to conceal the label

Kindly post your pictures here too in fact the first person to post gets the privilege of dictating our next general project. (This means you get to choose a problem area in sewing that you want me to shed more light on for you)

So let's begin

By the way this fabric was just 1k and the beads less than 500.

[size=18pt]IRO AND BUBA TUTORIAL.[/size]


This is very simple and you can make it your self.

When making buba u must consider the hip measurement first because as long as it fits the hip it will likely fit the waist and bust. considering that the hip is bigger.

1, what ever your hip is you need about 1.5 to 2 inches on both side for freeness on the buba.

2, Next determine your desired length Fold fabric into 4 using the hip + ease + seam allowance to cut your buba

Eg my hip is 44
Folded into 4 i will have 44÷4=11
To that 11 inches on 4 folds I added 2 inch each for ease and seam alowance
Now instead of 11 inch on 4 folds I have 13 inch on 4 folds.

Buba sleeve. usually it's measured from the center part of the neck down to the wrists.onlike tops and dresses that have the shoulder to armpit area cut away for a buba we don't cut it out its included in the sleeve measurement

My sleeve length is 31
31-13 =18 + (what ever seam allowance you want for the hem ) = sleeve length.

The sleeve circumference is usually big so it ranges from 8 to 10 for average ladies. Bigger ladies would use more than 10 inch for their sleeve circumference. For mine I used 10 +half inch seam

Neck line
Along the length of the neck I used 5 inches .on the breath I used 4 inches .and cut out.

Next I traced out the pattern I wanted the beads to have and after sewing I just filled in the space.and that was it.

fphumie:

[size=24pt] Let's Sew This Simple Dress[/size]

Hi everyone. So I just explained this style to a group on Facebook and thought to share it with you here too. Please feel free to ask any questions



You can do this your self.

The first sketch is the style analysis. It shows the total cuts joined together as seen in the picture.

The next 2 shows how the front is cut out.
The one labelled left side has the false pocket parch design and buttons on it.

The second side labelled right side can be cut in two ways.
1) you can cut it as a full front pattern, where the cut extends to the left side.

2) the second way is to cut and join the cut to the left side to complete the full block for the front pattern

What you need to sew this dress.

Depending on your size at least 2 yards
Zip
Thread
Big Buttons

Measurement areas needed

Shoulder =
Neck =
Sleeve length= /circumference
Bust =
Waist=
Hip =
Length=

Place fabric on fold while you cut.
Don't forget to add seam allowance to your measurement for joining when you cut.

Happy sewing.

Amen o

ikoyila:
EFOSTIC babe, God wil continue to enlarge ur coast. like criusli u r really tryin, got to knw abt dis thread 4m dt facebook page.. not easy @all to do dis comprehensive nd intensive teachin, i mean typin it.. more power to ur hands MY OGA. les i forget, guys in d house>>she deserve an award

Woooo I am humbled
Thanks so much

Monis23:
Thanks a lot ma'am Val. But pls I need help on how to cut trousers. I didn't get to read the post wen u treated that. Also,cutting of jackets have bin a great ish for me. I do really need your assistance. Thanks so much

Thanks so much but kindly go back on the pages I have treated the trouser topic here b4.
As for the jacket I have also done it b4
If I can find the page I will quote it here

After joining we would have some thing like this.
You can then add your sleeve

Here is a diagram of how u can cut It the off shoulder with shoulder first like a regular blouse then later u cut out the sleeve through the neck and armpit area to format the off shoulder.

The second diagram shows how you can deduct the unwanted shoulder area by going straight to cut out the neck and armpit area off.

What ever u get as your hip divide that into 2 for front block bodice and back block bodice.

Length
On the length you can take the length full from shoulder to the desired length as if you want to cut it with shoulder, then later you deduct the area u want to cut out on the chest.

The second way is to deduct the area you want to cut out before cutting it. This means on like the other that u started from the shoulder down this one you will start from the neck down.

On the front and back block add Seam allowance and place your material on fold in readiness to cut the neck and armpit area.

[size=14pt]Neck part[/size]
On the neck part you determine how low and how wide you want the neck to be before cutting it. Don't forget seam allowance

Then you use your measurement to shape out the bust waist and hip.

prettyamebo:
pls i urgently need help on how to cut an off shoulder blouse. pls oh! it's urgent. thanks.

Ok

[size=18pt]Off shoulder explanation[/size]
