Happy new week needle workers!

How's your new week coming on? I want to share with you a pant I made.

African print are such versatile fabrics. They can be styled for almost anything. This particular African print was brought in by a client.

In my part of the world, they sell African print for different purposes. (Wedding, burial, child dedication and the likes) and it's usually called "Asoebi".

It's a way of supporting the celebrant or host of the occasion.

This particular client bought only three yardage and asked me to make a pant.

The reason was because she can pair it with almost anything.

I got to work as usual. Cleared my table and started the drafting part of the project.

After which I transferred the pattern onto the fabric.

I needed just her waist, hip, trouser length measurement to achieve this outfit.

I folded the fabrics as required to get a perfect pant as seen in the picture.

I placed the hip measurement, waist circumference and trousee length on my pattern paper. Dividing the hip by four and waist too. For crtoch depth, i divided the hip by four to get it perfectly.

The next step of the project was to cut zipper fly for the pant. I cut zipper fly of two inches width and nine inches depth. Two each, for left wnd right side. The right side usually has a curve while the left doesn't.

Next, i sew the seam using the seam allowance I left for it.

I also attached the zip with a zipper fly. It gave the pant a better outcome.

Then I ironed each seam line to give it a perfect fit.

This is the full outfit on my mannequin. It came out just as I envisaged. I folded the sem with about 0.5 inches

This is the upclose view of the pant.

Another view. I love the simplicity of this outfit.

It took me four hours to draft, cut and sew. I think I was multitasking that day, that was why it took me longer hours to achieve.

I'm yet to deliver the outfit. My client will be coming in two days from now to pick her outfit.
