TWINNING WITH MY AMBASSADOR

There is nothing as good as having this lil girl in my life. My kid's ambassador Aka my cute lil sister. Apart from her love for the camera I feel the camera loves her more than she does.

BERYL TOP LOVE

   Hanging over our bodies is what we call the BERYL TOP usually matched with a similar colour palazzo trouser (but not in our case). I've loved this beautiful top for so long. Originally designed and made by a popular Nigerian designer WANNIFUGA. You can check out her page on Instagram-@wannifuga.

I first saw this on Instagram explore page and fell heads o'er heels. I magically imagined how good it'll look on me.

Too aware of how expensive it'll be to get a set for myself. I promised myself I'd love myself to one.

The drapings seemed so impossible to craft out. I tot about different ways to draft out the pattern until some months ago when I was in serious need of what to wear to my course dinner.

I met a seamstress in the hope that she would understand it best but to my surprise she called it a kimono!! -wow!! I got so angry and decided to do it myself. Luckily, I did get it right. It is one easy pattern, i promise!

I had to make a sample for my ambassador and you can imagine what she asked after the fitting, "can I own it after the photo session?" Puppy dog eyes in place as though I was even going to consider turning down such cute request. I found that so funny. And if you would agree with me it suits her so much 

We couldn't resist taking vain selfies for all I care. With the sun basking us, the joys of our dresses. It doesn't actually matter the length. I've seen some of various length short or long. If u notice my front crop is quite longer cos I cudnt stand showing off my midriff.

SISTERS

Here is a picture with the palazzo

It's all so lovely, you can order on her page if you love it so much. Any colour at all is loooovely!! 

Have a blessed week ahead. *swirls around with beryl top*

For the love of stripes💕💕

Happy new month you all!!! It's already half a year! Wow!
I've missed this blog for real. Each time I always have in mind what to write but then eventually I never do due to mere laziness or lack of interest but not today. This post has long been overdue but it is fine.

This striped skirt has been bae for so long. I made it since year before last because I tot I would wear it. I never did, firstly because I hate to attach hook and eyes to a band and also because my novice skills ensured I made a lot of mistakes with the box pleats. Nevertheless, all that didn't stop me from rocking this beautiful piece one nice sunday.
My love for stripes can't be overstated especially deep blue and white and black and white, I can easily by pass an

y other stripe combination but not those mentioned.

I wore my skirt with a custom made offshoulder blouse. I do love them both together. I could have done without that slim belt but I couldn't cos I hadn't done the band properly but who can guess.

Trust me custom made diy's are the best though then I made mistakes with this skirt but now I can't make such mistakes doing this kinda skirt again.
Here is an illustration of it

Every girl needs a skirt like this. Could be shorter which I believe it's cuter but I needed something to wear to church. You could use a silk or chiffon fabric but with chiffon to make it puffy you need to prepare tulle or sonething. I made use of a very heavy material, not as puffy as I expected but it's fine.

From me and my really cheesy smile. Have a lovely weekend!!! Don't sweat it!! Whatever you have to force to work, let go Huns.

The straight skirt series

Happy new year!!! I know it is coming in the second month of the year. I swear this particular month is faster than the first.
A lot is happening around me, just too glad my life is almost summing up for the best in a few months.
I am so glad,a lot of people have been reading this little blog posts of mine in my absence. The views are amazing. It definitely pushed my lazy butts to write something to post. To all my readers, the returning ones and the visitors thank you so much, you have no idea how happy you make me feel. God bless you all and I love you all.
Well, the straight skirt series is definitely a straight skirt series
I can't remember what I was doing but it struck me to sew a peplum blouse and a straight skirt for myself. I had different ideas of how I wanted my peplum to look so I thought to myself why not draw it out. That I did and I painfully decided to render the drawings with the little skills I adopted from YouTube videos and looking at pictures.
It wasn't so difficult after all, though i didn't use high tech drawing and painting materials but my lead pencil, black pen, steadtler twistables, ...
I really love the outcome of it.
Now I need help selecting which one to sew for myself, someone suggested i do all the blouses. I really need one.
Im hoping someone would help me make a choice.
Well really, loving this Ankara feel.

If i am to pick which i would sew i would go with the first one by the left but the one with the highest vote is the first by the right. too confused??

So sorry the image quality isn't the best but it is quite visible.

Have a lovely day ahead!!!
