Hello everyone

A beautiful morning to you all today and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, it's Monday and I'm glad to be part of today's #needleworkmonday post, a day we all the #needlewoker always look forward to, to showcase our creativity.

Plain and pattern material are sometimes difficult to combine but the joy is that whichever way you were able to combine yours, it is called creativity, you can style it in anyway and trust me, it will come out nice as far as you have a matching colour of fabric to combine with.

At first, I was so confused on how to combine this fabrics together as I had a plain fabric 45" while the pattern fabric was 36" there is a limit I can go in making an outfit from this considering my sister's measurement. So I sat down to have a deep thought on how to make something nice from the fabric.

Thank God for the needlework your bucketlist challenge, immediately I saw this challenge, I knew I will come up with an idea. This fabric had been with me for a very long time but i had no idea of what to make with it but this challenge inspired me to an idea which I imagined and i had a perfect picture in my head. Join me as I show you what I made.

The gown was to be below the knee length so, I cut out the plain fabric to be above the knee length and complete the full measurement with the pattern fabric.

To cut the upper bodice, I cut out a princess dart bustier shape on a brown paper which was later cut out on the fabric using the plain fabric for the center front and the pattern fabric for the side front while at the back, I used the remaining pattern fabric to make the back bodice.

To make the sleeve, I had to also combine the plain and pattern fabric for the sleeves, that also, I cut out a basic sleeve using the plain fabric and pleated a long piece of about x2 of the pattern fabric on it , to make it puffy, I added an elastic band to the hem of the sleeve.
