Measurements
Bust: 35ā + 1ā ease = 36ā
Waist: 26ā + 1ā ease = 27ā
Waist Length: 16"**
Fabric Requirement
1Ā½ yards Ankara
Matching thread
āļø Cutting Process
Step 1. Prepare Fabric
Fold your Ankara into four (4 folds) to form a square. Since this is a triangle handkerchief style, the top is cut as a loose poncho shape with a pointed hem.
Step 2. Form the Triangle Shape
On the folded fabric, measure from the top corner down to your desired length (about 25ā28 inches depending on how long you want the points) I use 28 inches for mine.
Mark a diagonal line from one side to the other to create that triangle handkerchief effect.
Cut along the diagonalāthis gives you the pointed edges.
After that I separate the back and front.
āš§µ SEWING PROCESS
āstep 1. Hem First
āHem all raw edges:
āNeckline
āSides
āFold twice and stitch
āstep 2. Join Front and Back
āPlace right sides facing each other
find the midpoint
āFrom the midpoint:
āMeasure 9 inches to the right
āMeasure 9 inches to the left
ā(Total shoulder = 18 inches)
āAt each 9-inch mark.
āShoulder hold point (2 inches) width āThis creates a slight shoulder hold area.
āLeave the upper part open for off-shoulder effect
āThe sides remain partially open to form flowing sleeves
Shape the Side
Mark Bust and Waist
āBust Line:
āFrom shoulder line, measure down 10 inches
āApply bust formula:
ā35 Ć· 4 = 8.75 + 1 inch ease = 9.75 inches
āMark outward on both sides
āWaist Line:
āFrom shoulder, measure down 16 inches
āApply waist formula:
ā26 Ć· 4 = 6.5 + 1 inch ease = 7.5 inches
āMark and curve slightly ārun a stitch on it.
āDo not overfit, keep it slightly loose
āLeave enough space for easy wear
āFinishing Touch
āPress neatly
āEnsure neckline sits well on the shoulders
Final look
