What am working on....Simplicity 2554

I am presently sewing up one of my African fabrics, and loving it so far.  I re-drafted the bodice of simplicity 2554 to a fitted blouse, I lowered the neck by 0.5" , I used lightweight broadcloth for lining , roll-hemmed the flounce from the right side so that the wrong side of fabric can roll up and I installed side invisible zipper .........

My plan is to make a complete outfit from this fabric  i.e a skirt, a blouse and a head tie just like a real African woman...lol. The top is almost done, needs  to be hemmed and hopefully finish the skirt tomorrow... Stay tuned for my complete outfit fellas................

 
side invisible zipper..

Have a lovely weekend all......

  5. Aminat, that is so lovely. And I love those head ties. Unfortunately I look ridiculous in them, but I admire them on others all the time!
