After coming across the OCD COMMUNITY BOOST CONTEST and participated last week, I honestly must say I am getting more interested in the contest as each week introduce you to some of the finest communities the Hive Blockchain has to offer. Today, I will be joining the OCD COMMUNITY BOOST CONTEST again, and this time, I will be sharing my creative work here on the NeedleworkMonday Community. This particular contest is asking us to Share A Needlework Project That Represent Our Character, so, I will be sharing a part of myself with you guys, more like an orientation I have printed in me while growing up.
How does this project represent my character? Like the title of this post suggest, Dress The Way You Want To Be Addressed, yes, this is one character trail I have created for myself from a young age, well, I wouldn't entirely take the glory for this character, my Late brother Owen, kind off started it, and I kept the tradition going. He would dress me very well every morning and tuck my shirt in very well and always threatened that I must return back to the house looking like the way I left the house. Hmmmm, it was one difficult task, but today, I still love to look smart, look very neat, look well and presentable. Those are the words I here people used in describing me, and it is so because I have first look the part. Well, this needlework project represent my character as a simple gentleman, a smart looking fellow, someone who choose responsibility and want to always be responsible, a very neat and calm young man, and a little bit of nerd swagger 😂😂😂
So, let me share the different pictures I took while making this project and I will share what each picture is all about. But first, let me introduce you to all the materials used in making this needlework project.

Here, I was making the back welt pockets of the trousers. I love starting with trousers because that's what always take my time, I don't normally waste time with the dress. After that, I joined them together to form the back of the trousers.

Here, I was making the front zipper and I also attached the front pockets to the front block of the trousers, after doing that, I joined the two sides together to form the complete front of the trousers.

After completing that, I moved straight to attaching the front and back block together to form the complete trousers and afterwards I attached a waist band and belt loops. That's how the journey of the trouser went, I hard to rest for a while before starting the dress.

For the dress, I attached the front dress placket and placket guard to the front part of the dress. I sew the back yoke to the back part of the dress and then attached the front and back together.
