Happy Sunday dear creative Hivers, I hope we are all having a fun-filled Sunday, it's a special Sunday, a Father's Day celebration all over the world, here is me wishing every father and intending ines a happy Father's Day, may the strength and grace to be a loving and caring dad come effortlessly to you.
It's another exciting edition of the Hive learner's creative Sunday, and as usual, I've got an easy DIY sewing tutorial to share with you all.
This time I made a simple A-line blouse, note that the same process can be used to achieve a sleeveless A-line dress as well.
I've had this leftover fabric for quite a while and thought to put it to good use today, making this beautiful A-line dress for my daughter. At first, I wasn't sure of what to make with this little leftover piece, but after several thoughts and trials in my mind, this A-line blouse fit just right.
Materials used
Ankara fabric
Matching colored thread.
Cutting And Sewing Process
- I started by putting the fabric on one fold by the side at first, and proceeded to fold it again in bias or right angle triangle form, then I drafted the voice of the A-line on the folded fabric using her measurement.
- Next, I cut out this bias strip which I used to pipe the neckline of the front and back blouse pattern, note that, the front and back patterns are the same.
- Continuing, I joined the front and back by the shoulders and proceeded to pipe the armhole areas as well neatly for a cleaner finish
- Moving on, I joined the blouse by the sides using about 3-quarter-inch seam.
- I also hemmed the base of the blouse neatly, and that completes the making process of the A-line blouse.
So easy to make and it took me less than an hour to get it done.
So will you be giving these easy steps a trial?
