Hi guys,
It good to be here again.Today I want to share with you a modern native wears I sewed,although to perfect the clothe took me like 2hours but it worth the time been consumed.i will like you to join me in this post as i will be showing you the process of how the native clothe is being made.
This kind of attires is mostly find in some part in Africa but not only African nowadays because this type of native wears are so now being embrace in some other part of the world.
PROCESSES OF SEWING
STEP 1:The fabric I am using is called a Irish fabric,which is brown in colour.when it comes to quality it is Middle low in quality.
Then I spread it on my cutting table.i am cutting the top first before the the trouser.
STEP2: Then I will get my acquired measurement for my cutting to accurate to prevent a shabbily made native.
THE MEASUREMENT FOR THE TOP AND TROUSER
TOP: length 34 ,chest 38, shoulder 18, sleeve 19,neck 17,
TROUSER: Length 40, thigh22,waist 32,ankle 14.
The first thing I do with the top is holding the material in four segment then Check my chest measurement to know the width of the fabric that I will be folding after that the next step is cutting my neck (2 by 3) remember our measurement for the neck is 17 ,it is after bringing the back and front of the clothe together is what will give us the exact measurement of the neck we are looking for.
Then I cut out the sleeve because the outfit is a short sleeve style.
The sleeve is 19 and the shoulder is 18 so I am going to divide the shoulder by 2 which is 9 then deduct it from my shoulder measurement to give me the accurate measurement of the sleeve am cutting,then sketch out my measurement and cut.
Now back to the top it going to be a brown mixed with a touch of white to it for the styling of the outfit so I cut out my white material and sew directly to the one side of the front piece of the outfit, giving it a thorough ironing will make it more neater.
STEP 3:The assembling of the fabric,i have my two pieces of the clothe,the sleeve ,the interface,the piping and the invisible zip.
Firstly am joining the two pieces with the interface then follow by the piping of the neck round about then my invisible zip and the assembling of the sleeve to the outfit,follow by the final join of the outfit.
STEP 4:The cutting of the trouser,check my measurement and sketch out the cutting process.
This type of trouser is a corporate trouser with zip and band,normally a native trouser is not sewn that way anyway that by the way side.
STEP5: Staying the slant pocket and band for a hard surface.Then the assembling of the trouser.
STEP 6: The first step is the assembling of the pocket to the first two piece of the trouser and fixing of the zip to the right hand side,f following the assembling of the other two pieces.The thigh is 22 and the ankle is 14 when introduce to the sewing it will be divided by two, The band and belt hole will be the next on the list.
STEP 7: Thorough ironing of the outfit and the final touch.
This is how I got this beautiful outfit below and displayed it on a manikin for you to see the outcome of the design.
