Hello Needle workers..

Hope you had a beautiful weekend and you're ready for a new week.

I am so ready and I'm here to share with you my latest project.

I remember the times I'll have to visit a boutique to buy some kind of outfit even though I am a tailor. Those outfits were hoodie, cargo pants, Jean, and T-shirt. But everything has changed ever since I decided to go for a fashion upgrade.

I now make boutique standard hoodie, cargo pants, t-shirts and even Jean and it's really exciting.

Let's talk about the cargo pants I made recently.

We were given a task to make a cargo pant and polo. The beautiful thing about this whole thing is knowing the right fabric for each project.

At the market, there are some places where they sell materials specially for these outfits. One who is a novice usually get cheated as they all want to sell of their market.

The cargo pant I wanted was color black, because I believe black is attitude, black serve many purposes as well and for the polo I made a right choice too. I chose ash color to match my black cargo pant.

Cutting a polo is one of the simplest thing in fashion designing. All it requires is having the right measurement and using the biggest part of one's body to cut.

For me, I made use of my hip measurement to make my block and marked out my chest line and polo length as seen here.

I used the black cargo pant fabric to design the polo. After that, I added the sleeve and made use of a stretchy matching color to pipe the neckline.

For the cargo pant, I didn't want it pegged so I added a few inches to my actual hip measurement.

I created the block and got my crotch depths, hip line, knee line and trouser length. After drafting, I cut it out.

I proceeded to the pockets. I didn't want too many pockets so I cut out the number of pockets I wanted and here they are.

These are used for styling ny cargo pants which I bought in the market as well.

I began to sew each of the pockets on the cargo pant.

I added my zipper using a zipper fly method.

Here is me fixing the back pocket for the pant. After that I joined each sides together, hemmed the length seam and fitted it on my mannequin.

The cargo pant came out nicely and I really loved the outfit.

I matched it with the polo and this is what it looks like.

Here's a closer view of the polo, focus on the neckline. This is the most technical part of this outfit, if you get it wrong, everything goes South.

The neckline shouldn't be too wide and while sewing, you shouldn't stretch it our else it begin to gape.

Now, here's the full outfit. Ta-da!!

I am so proud of my growth and so excited that I don't need to buy cargo pant from stores any longer.
