We are now in that season of the year in Nigeria when you just don't feel like wearing clothes; if not that, people will definitely call you a mad fellow. The heat here is out of this world, it is like a part of hell is being left loose.
After seeing the prickly heat on my arm, it's now dawned on me I have to tweak my dressing style in the season, and that's wearing lightweight and free-shape wears.
For my first projects for summer wears,I'll making a flare shaped blouse.
I have leftover fabrics from what I sew for my elder sister so, I'll be using the remaining.😅
"Nothing is a waste, nothing dies in my hands",lol.
Without no further ado,let's get on with the cutting and the sewing process.
Materials to be used.
- The Fabric
- A matching thread
The Cutting Process
Cut the blouse length after deducting the sleeve length from it.
For example, my blouse length is 23 inches so, I minus 6 inches which is my sleeve length which equals to 17 plus sewing allowance makes it 18 inches.
Cut the sleeve in flare form and use the appropriate sleeve length for it.
Cut 1½ inches of the fabrics for the straps.
The Sewing
Do the interfacing of the neckline and sleeves.
Attach the straps.
Add the sleeves to it.
Join the front and back together.
Now, we have the results....
Guys....what do you think?
Is it a ten or below it?
