NIgerians always in the business of not minding their own business. Over sabi, tafia, ITK

@ OP I don't know if you have noticed these very big sleeves that are in vogue now , there is this dress that I saw and those sleeves were to die for. How do you sew those balloon sleeves? any tips? Thanks

marylandcakes:
See the dress bodice above. Take this to the waist and you have got your front bodice.
The difference between the front and back is the armhole, the French dart and the length of the darts.

Thanks for your lovely comments.

What is the length of the back darts?

marylandcakes:
It’s better to use a ball point needle and using a zig zag stitch. Simple styles are much better.

Thanks for this.

That looks lovely.

marylandcakes:
For those of you that asked for sleeve pattern tutorial. The video is below.

Where have I been? this thread has been bubbling. I'm not just saying this. But I cant find a better video on sleeve pattern. Anyone who cannot understand this video will never understand how to cut sleeves.

@ Op I prefer this one to your other sleeve video , this is more straight forward.

Well done and thank you for this.

Can you do another video on front bodice? Thank you

Nigerians always like to take the moral high especially on things that do not concern them.:

e.g. why are you not married? why don't you have another kid? etc..

50 cent gave him the perfect answer. Nigerians should first sort out the shit hole called Nigerian before trying to tell others how to live their lives . Bloody hypocrites.

marylandcakes:
Keep it up you will get there one day.

That's the whole idea, to open my own fashion house one day.

Any tips on sewing with Velvet?

Where can I get this table to buy in Lagos?

marylandcakes:
For your fruit cake mix all you need is a selection of dried fruit , sugar and a sprit or liqueur.

This is the recipe I used for my rum cake

Very nice video

Instead of buying buses the money, should be used to repair the very bad roads.

marylandcakes:
Thanks for your continued support.

How is your sewing coming along. Are you able to grasp the basics yet?

I'm getting there little by little.

lorhema:
I'm not a beginner but have not made clothes in about 20 years and have forgotten a lot of steps. This thread has fired me up to start again. Thank you for the clear instructions.

Have you subscribed to the OP's You tube channel? its free, that way you get notifications for new videos as its not all the videos that are put here on Nairaland by the OP

panegyrics:
I can see cotton-wool inside the mama's ear# wetin consign me sef#

Its a hearing aid

armadeo:
Everyone knows that.


I feel last season was rushed and apologetics that's why this time they want space and time to tweak and turn to deliver a masterpiece finale season.


Fingers crossed.

I hope its worth waiting for.

I need to learn how to sew properly

DeeMarh:
I also intend starting up a fashion business with this

Welcome on board,

Me too I have learnt a lot from this thread, Its such a shame that this thread is hidden in this section.

I got my sewing machine a couple of months back with tips and guidance from the OP. Why pay for a sewing class when you can get it free?

The only cost is your data.

Instead of demolishing it why didn't they turn it into a home for homeless kids, waste of money and time

Also , I know that This is the season of Velvet. Can you please do a video on either plain or floral velvet material . With video explanations.

Thanks

I wonder what Harry & Meghan's pre wedding photo will be like? maybe the queen will be standing in the middle wearing a hoodie with lots of bling

She is good looking and she looks like his mum. Celebrate your mum well-done.

Preetiex:

Gala and pepsi no be proper food nah.

With N200 I can buy a nice picture of Eba with Egusi soup with oporoko and all the trimmings. After he look tire, sleep go catch am. He go chop the food for him dream

No GOT this year, the final episode will be next year.

This people just like teasing fans.

ubunja:
and neither will my brother forget those family members who betrayed him. we cant please everyone. we just choose who we cant afford to let down.and i can never let my brother down.

I am assuming you are either a Christian or a Muslim. Apologies if I got this wrong.

When you are praying to your God and you are asking for mercy that your sins should be forgiven. .. What you have done, what you have failed to do.... Do you expect to be forgiven for your sins. when you willingly know what you are doing.

Like I keep saying there is Right and there is Wrong no matter how hard we try to dress it up or justify it. Even not saying anything means you condone it. No matter what we should not support evil and speak up . That person may later thank you for being honest.

marylandcakes:
The video above clearly shows how you make a circle skirt and also how to add gemstones to fabric. There is also a bit of bias making. Please let me know if you have any queries. Thanks

Can I do this same design using one skirt only?

ubunja:
on principle i will always support my brother over any one. even if he is wrong.thats what you do for family.i cant let a stranger that joined our family recently break up my older relationship with my brother.as a woman you can divorce my brother if you feel betrayed.but since i cant ever divorce my brother out of my life i choose him over you. nothing personal.its a blood thing. and blood is thicker than water.

There is right and there is wrong. if you support wrong doings it will come back later to bite you in the backside and you loose your credibility. If my brother is neglecting his wife and kids I would call him to the side and talk with him. Don't forget that those kids are your nephews and nieces and you also owe them your loyalty. Kids don't stay young forever and they do not also forget those family members that were cruel to their mum so be careful.

i might be able to get a picture of food so you can look at.

Phone is meant to be used. Please use it. Let it work for its money , thats why it is a smart phone.

marylandcakes:
