Greetings hive

Hope you all are doing very well, happy Needleworkmonday, nice to meet you all today and share with you all about the steps i carried in making this beautiful Bubu shirt free dress with drawstring waistline for my senior Sister.

I got this beautiful fabric from my sister for some months now, well this fabric was a traditional marriage uniform which i suppose to sew for her to use on that day but i disappointed her because i wasn't feel too well that month, i thank God she understands me a lot.

Omog......this fabric looks so beautiful with it's color design, everyone that sees this fabric loves it so much, since i disappointed her on that traditional marriage day, so she had a child dedication ceremony to attend then she decided to use the dress on that day, i didn't want to disappoint her again, so i promised her to expect it right away.

The procedure.

I brought out the Ankara fabric and folded it by two, since it's a Bubu dress there's no need of giving out any shape, i took her half shoulder measurements and added some allowance for the sleeves hem sewing bending, i took the biggest measurements part of the body which is the hips and added 2.5 inches for the body allowance and sewing allowance, i took the back neck width and length then i cut it out.

After cutting out the back side, i folded the fabric again by two and i placed the back side on it and cut out the front side with the same back measurements, so after cutting it out, i remove out the back and keep the front side then i marked down the "V" neck length and width then i cut it out.

I now finished with all the cutting process then i moved ahead with the sewing process, so i went and cut the fabric pieces and turned the back neck and the front neck also then i bend in the buttins front part properly.

so i went to the sewing machine and joined up the shoulder and the body front and back together.

After joining them i cut out the drawstring trapped and roop then i sew down the drawstring on the dress half length properly.

I went on inserting the roop inside the trape and i bend the down hem also.

After everything i went and bought the fancy shirt buttins and opend up the buttins trape then i also fixed the buttins properly.

Here is the outcome of the dress.

The dress was so beautiful on her and she loves it, i was so excited that i didn't disappoint her this time around because i feeled badly the day i disappointed her, how do you feel when you disappointed someone or your client even when you disappointed your sister?. I feel so excited, Well people got to love the dress so much, i hope you love it too.

Thank you so much for passing by.
