Ankara is an African fabric that can be used for diverse purposes,but mostly used for sewing dresses and used as wrappers.they are of different designs and different qualities.But in Nigeria the best quality I know of is Holland and Hi-target these fabrics are mostly bought by the elderly women which they wrap around their waist.
event planners have also adopted the idea of using this fabric to decorate traditional wedding venues,which I must say is breathtaking.
my Ankara note book
tools
1.Note book
2.Ankara fabrics
3.scissor
4.cardboard paper
5.ruler
6.glue
First measure the length and width of the notebook, then get your cardboard paper and take same measurement but make it 2 centimeters shorter.then cut out ur measurement and keep for later use
Next you place the Ankara on a table or on a smooth floor then place the notebook on it,apply some glue on the notebook and smoothen the Ankara fabric on it,also do the same for the other side of the notebook.you have to let this sit for at least 5minuites.
Then you want to cut out any excess fabric,because you won't be needing so much,then cut a slant shape by the binding side of the book which you tuck into the binding,if there is no space to tuck it in you can cut it out.Then you glue down the edges of your fabric on your notebook,put some glue on the edges of your fabric and glue unto ur notebook,also do the same for the other side of your notebook.
Lastly you glue down your cut out cardboard paper unto your notebook on both sides,and voila your Ankara notebook is ready.
Next I'll be learning how to make an ankara shoe,stay tuned.
