Good morning everyone, hope we had a nice weekend, I welcome you to another new week and I pray it's going to be a fruitful week for us in Jesus name.
I'm super excited to be here this beautiful morning to share with you my latest creative design, A TUXEDO SUIT MADE OF damask.
My friend came to me and said, bro my baby's birthday is here and I want you to make a suit for him and I said no problem, bring him for measurements, she said no that she want to make it a surprise, i looked at her with a frowned face and replied " you want me to make a suit for your fiance without taking his measurements? " I was full of doubt if I would be able to, I summon courage and asked for his recent picture, And I was trying to fix the measurements, the shoulder, sleeve, chest, suit length, arm and wrist circumference, it was a big task for me but It turned out to be perfectly OK for him and I was so glad and proud of myself.
the lady loves it so much as well as her fiance and the gave me additional #2000 Nigerian money which is about $4.
I will be sharing with you how I made this beautiful tuxedo suit.
MATERIALS USED
- fabric (damask)
- satin
- hair stay
- linen
- paper stay
- thread
CUTTING AND SEWING PROCESS
the pattern I used for suit comprises of 5,
the front
the side
the back
And the sleeve with is 2 pattern
some people have these patterns in sizes but I have just one which is difficult to be used for another size.
I cut the suit making used of these patterns then I applied hair stay to make it strong and sweet for ironing.
I started my sewing by joining the parts together, the sides to the front, backs together and the sleeve, then I ironed them and fixed the pockets, then joined to the back and fixed the sleeve which is one of the most sensitive part, then I added waLden And shoulder pad and satin as the flap
After that I fixed the linen and put it to shape by ironing
