Happy Sunday Hivers, hope you are all having a fun weekend, as we anticipate a productive week ahead, make sure to have a good rest as well.

it's another creative Sunday edition in this wonderful community, and I will like to share with you all how I added sleeves to the beautiful halter dress I made during the week for my friend.

You can call it a summer dress because it's suitable for that weather conditions. My friend had reached out to me to makr her a dress using a beautiful silk fabric, I suggested a style and she asked that I go ahead, when I was done, she absolutely loved the dress but felt it was too open for her and wanted me to add sleeves to cover her upper arms bit, also because she would love to wear it to her church since they are strict on that sleeve rule. Thankfully, we had some extra pieces of fabrics left, so I got to work, making sure to satisfy her want, because it's her satisfaction that matters the most, after all, she loves the overall dress.

Materials used, is

leftover silk fabric
Elastic
And matching thread.

Making Process

• I started by cutting about 7.5 inches width and 22" length of the fabric to form a rectangular pattern

• Next, I folded both hems, up and down of the cutout pattern

• Continuing, I trimmed the sides a bit in a c shape, that's where is would be sewing to the armhole of the dress

• Finally, I passed about 7" elastic in the elastic case I created and sewed it to the dress.

Here is the final look, beautiful, isn't it, in my friend's words She felt like a bride in this dress. I'm glad I made her feel that way through my creative talent.
