It's a beautiful day and so I want to share my trip to the Genesis Cinema I had with my friends.

Kindly join me on the virtual tour and I hope you'll enjoy it.

We left home at about 11 am and a few hours later we arrived at the cinema, the trip was funfilled as my favourite people were right with me in the car, we chit-chatted, sang and laughed effortlessly, nothing beats spending quality time with our loved ones.

As soon as we got to the movies, we saw some content creators who were dancers dancing in front of the centre, they did well but we were asked not to record them so we just fed our eyes and then we walked into the movies where we had a glance on the movies scheduled for the day.

Unfortunately, the one we had in mind to see wasn't available until the next day, that was because we arrived a bit later that the scheduled time for the movie. We settled for Garfield after much conviction, it turned out to be an amazing movie and I won't be giving you any spoiler.

Since it's not just a trip to see a movie we decided to have all the fun we could because it might take us another 3-6 months to unwind in a group again because of our very busy schedule.

To make the movie Hang Out a fun one we started by ordering shawarma and ice cream and then some popcorn too, after a few minutes to get our order we walked into the movie theatre, it was so cosy but the seats were quite empty, we picked the seats on the first row before we knew it people started trooping in too, well we chose our favourite spot and that's all the counts.

After the movie ended we headed to Shoprite which is a shopping mall.

As the President of the Food Association, first things first, to get our tummy filled with good food since we were just munching on snacks throughout the movie.

We also decided to window shop and shop, there was a lot of fancy stuff in the mall that if care is not taken one who isn't prudent might end up buying above their budget.

For me, I got what was very important and admired the ones which weren't important to me, we also went to the game house to have some fun aside from seeing a movie.

After which we visited the game house also called the play zone when we let out the child in us, played a variety of games and it was such a beautiful moment.

After a splufik moment with my friends, we ordered our ride which took us back home, although we were stuck in traffic on our way back, it was still fun regardless.

Hello Needleworkers.

How are you doing? I love how committed we are to this community, especially on Mondays, no matter how busy I am, I do take a moment to visit the community to see amazing jobs done by you all and I make sure to leave encouraging comments too, keep up the good work.

I used to show up here every Monday, but other offline courses have gotten in the way, I know by now y'all are aware of the project which has been keeping me away from sharing fashion projects consistently, but I still steal time to do one or two little fashion projects so that I could still show up here at least once a fortnight because my heart is here.

I have decided to show up with a vlog as it is quite faster for me to upload rather than not even showing up again until I am fully back.

Since it's another beautiful day, I would love to share the very beautiful feedback I got from my clients, a mother and her daughter.

Nothing is more fulfilling than seeing your clients excited with your project, I think that gives some kind of satisfaction and I feel very excited to see my clients happy and satisfied with my job.

There's this stylish outfit I made for a client and her daughter, it's called the wrap trouser, just like we have the wrap skirt hehe, this is a very stylish outfit and can be rocked on different kinds of fabrics ranging from crepe to chiffon, to lace, to cashmere and any beautiful fabric you come across.

For my clients, I used the Ankara fabric, the mom rocked it in the form of a crop top and wrap trousers while the daughter only rocked the wrap trousers and used an old top to wear it.

Being stylish is being comfortable, anything that keeps you comfortable and confident is good to go.

The reason I embarked on this project is the fact that it isn't time-consuming.

With just three yards you can achieve the crop top and wrap trousers but for a bigger person four yards of fabric will do.

The beautiful part about this outfit is how to wear it haha, from the video the daughter of my client showed how to rock it and I know you like it too, I love how the mom danced around with her outfit and this is why I love to get feedbacks from my clients.

Feedback helps you rate your customer service, and helps you know where to do better and what you did right.

Due to the limited time I have I will share a detailed tutorial in another post on how to achieve the wrap trouser if you want me to, I only need an indication in the comment section and I will show up sooner than you think.

The goal of the needlework community is to hone our skills as fashion designers while we showcase our talent, creativity and handiwork.

However you do not need too much to achieve the outfit, just your sewing machine, thread, french curve and scissors with a little trick to achieve it perfectly.

You'll also need some measurements like your hip, waist, flap/crotch and trousers length.

After watching this video, would you love to rock these wrap trousers too? For me yes I will, but maybe in a sleeker fabric, thank you for watching the video.

Hi needle workers...

I am always excited to visit this community as there are loads of beautiful projects to see here, I love how creative each one of us can get either by sewing, knitting or crocheting.

Since I've been busy, I decided to quickly do a vlog on the three outfits I made for three beautiful clients rather than not showing up at all.

I had hope of cutting, taking pictures and sewing but then I wanted it to be so fast, coupled with the fact that the power hasn't been constant in my area made it kind of hard to achieve while trying to conserve my battery as well.

This fabric I use for my clients is called the Ankara fabric and it is an Asoebi, Asoebi is the same fabric given to a guest in a function to make anything stylish with it, most times it is usually sold costlier than you would normally get it in the market.

The three dresses are easy to achieve, the first one is the Boubou dress with a keyhole sleeve, the second is a fitted dress, knee length flat while the third one is a stylish short-length boubou as well.

I embellished each of them with stones to make it look more elegant as well.

The two boubous were cut using the client's largest body measurement which is their hips and then I added an inch allowance since it can't be a free dress and I made a rope alongside to add fittings to the dresses.

The second one is a fitted dress, made using all body measurements like the bust, half-length, hip sleeve, shoulder, knee length and full gown length to achieve.

At first, the fabric didn't look attractive but after making the dress, I loved the outcome so much.

Which of the three dresses would you rather rock? Well, my clients loved each of them and that made me even happier.

Thank you for watching.

Been a while in this community and I must confess I missed sharing my sewing experience here.

Well well, my client came in to make an outfit without having a particular style in mind to make, she trusted that I made something nice by just seeing what might suit the fabric she brought, so I decided to make the "Rich aunty vibes boubou", as we call it here in my country.😄😄

The fabric is mesh but not a plain mesh, a floral mesh which is quite stylish, this mesh is soft and not so easy to handle as it slips from the cutting table, dancing here and there.😃

Since the mesh is quite transparent, I used a sequin fabric as the lining, I also used trimmers and a fancy applique to match.

Here are my materials for making this outfit as seen in this collage.

This style is an easy outfit that can be sewn within 15-30mins, both the cutting and the sewing.

I folded the mesh which is about three yards to the size of my client.

Her hip is about 40 inches since it's a boubou, it doesn't need to be taught so I divided it by 4 which gave me 10 inches and then I added about 3 inches allowance to make it big. The length is about 55 inches long. I chose to use the larger part of her body to fold this outfit so that it can be easy to wear since it wouldn't require a zipper.

The neck is a canoe neck shape, see how I folded it in collage 5 in the picture above.

I didn't cut a different sleeve for this style, it was cut together like the regular kaftan/boubou style.

After cutting the back and the front, I joined the two bodices together using a nice color-matching ribbon(bias) to tape around the neck and inside out.

I decided to attach the golden trimming on the neck to add beauty to this boubou.

a for the sleeve, I added that green applique to the two sleeves and also sewn a few of them on the neckline as well using my hand needle and thread.

The lining was a purple color sequin, which I just used the hip measurement to fold as well, draft out my armhole like my regular bodice, added a 2inches allowance after dividing the hip by 4, and then turned the neckline and the armhole. For the neckline of the lining (sequin) I used a u-cut and I went in depth by 5 inches and 4 inches wide.

And then my boubou is really to be worn.

I sampled it on my dummies first and took nice shots of it and even made this video for you all to see.

Here is the picture.

The video was made in my office and I decided to entertain y'all with the background music sung by
