Happy new day to us all. I hope that we all had a wonderful night rest. It's another day, let arise and shine. And I want to share with the community this not so beautiful Abaya i was able to cut and sew yesterday. It is my first trial because i always fear of mistakes.
I don't know the value of little knowledge about fashion designer I have until now. We were preparing for Eid-ul-Adha and every was buying abaya. Ordering are flying around and me that I did not have money just in one place placing my faith in God.
But I was about to give up hope when I remembered that I can sew, and it will only cost me the material money to get my own abaya ready, so I checked my account balance and truly, I have enough to buy the fabric and the material needed.
Chiffon fabric
Lace applique with sequins
Tread
Scissors
They called the style double layer abaya. It's just a simple A line shape style but it is double layer.
I draft out my basic body measurements on A line shape with a V neck line.
I placed the one I already drafted on another fabric and draft out another one but this time around , it will be shorter than the previous one.
I removed ten inches from the length and add my Basque effect and I removed two inches from the front because I'm going to add flap to it. The back pattern will be done the same way only that it will not have opening.
And From there, I transferred it to the sewing machine for joining, adding the Lace applique with sequins and my hand made abaya is ready to be rocked
Thanks for checking on my blog and have a wonderful day
