Dress Making Tips? by tady: 10:28am On Sep 10, 2006
please can anyone tell me how to go about dress making?
Re: Dress Making Tips? by Damsal(f): 10:35am On Sep 11, 2006
Do u mean you want to sew your own clothes, cause the you'll have to get a sewing machine, materials, threads and other essentials. Cutting the material would depend on templates you have or ideas of what type of clothes you want to create.
It's not that hard i make my own clothes.

wow thats really great,do buy your samples here or abroad?its really hard getting uncommon samples here.any way i am just starting mine career in fahion. smiley
Re: Dress Making Tips? by Damsal(f): 4:26pm On Sep 16, 2006
I'm sorry, but i don't know what you mean by samples. If you mean fabric then i buy them abroad and i'm sure you can get the ones you want anywhere, it just depends on where you are looking. The designs i use i make myself since i want to release a clothing line. But hey i'm not really educated in fashion since i never took classes everything i know is self thought. But if you need my help in anything i'm willing to offer if you are going to educate me in fashion.

Here are a couple of my designs, they are just rough sketches so don't criticize me just yet. For your fashion carrer do you intend on producing african clothes or english styles.

Re: Dress Making Tips? by Damsal(f): 6:37pm On Sep 16, 2006
and some others

Re: Dress Making Tips? by Damsal(f): 6:47pm On Sep 16, 2006
sorry there's a repetition of design
Re: Dress Making Tips? by tady: 12:02am On Sep 17, 2006
sorry i meant patterns.your designs are really nice .its better buying the fabrics from abroad .i intend producing both african and english styles ,but more of the african since our pple are so much into african styles.i am just starting to learn ,although i have a little idea but i really want to learn more about it in order to gain more ideas.the little i know are how to measure,cut and stiching .i need to know more than that.its really nice if u start ur own clothing line .i'll be grateful if u help me get along with it.thanx

I don't know what's up with Seun, cause i don't live in usa (Think he changed ma location). And i'm just trying to complie various designs of tops, skirts, jeans and Jacket and presently working on a male line. After that i'll just work around things and get a maufacturer and a good store to sell ma clothes.

Hey Tady, nice to hear you are making progress with your clothes. I am trying to get mine sorted and finished but i got lots of school work going on. I would love to see some of your designs if you wouldn't mind showing me, and if they are in african prints (tie and dye and ankara) then i would love to purchase some, ma cousin is presently in nija and can bring them over for me. (hope they are not too expensive though). You can mail me if you want to chat. And by the way ma name is Yemi.

Hey Gianni
checked your profile and you email address aint there, would you mind mailing me, we could meet up sometime.

Re: Dress Making Tips? by bellybatty: 1:12pm On Nov 25, 2007
my goodness hi every one i mean i didn't know that so many people share my passion. listen it is brilliant to make your own clothes and to be able to wear what nobody don't have.Gianni if you are watching or receive this message please please please would you send me some pattern designs to with Ankara especially. it is the in thing now. the material is not expensIve. ive tried making thing for myself and worn them out with mixed feelings. but i still feel good cause nobody is wearing it. any way i need more experience. i used to work in the rag trade with the Greeks. so i have i can sew but to cut out pattern from scratch is not something i can do. if you can do this, you are a gifted person. i hope to her from you soon. ciao kiss
