Hello wonderful hivers, it's always exciting to have you stop by my blog, welcome.

It's a beautiful day, and I will like to share with us the making process of this gorgeous lace blouse with a uniquely designed flare sleeves.
Sewing has been more than a passion to me, it's more therapeutic, when I'm working on a new design, it gives me a form of serenity through the process, and takes away all my worried thoughts.
This blouse is a unique one mostly worn by African mothers and young ladies with a wrapper beneath, for different occasions, mostly weddings, church, dedication or any traditional ceremony.
Without further ado, let's get into the making process. And I hope you enjoy the process as I did too.
The making process
Materials/tools used
organza fabric
- Lace fabric
- Satin fabric
- white cotton lining
- zipper
- matching thread
- organza fabric,
- scissors, sewing machine, and tape rule.
- Starting, I drafted the blouse pattern using a bustier pattern for both front and back and replicated them on the lace and satin fabric.
front pattern
back pattern
- I joined the front patterns together
- And also joined the back patterns together
- I joined both the front and back together after turning it with the lining fabric.
- Next, I drafted the sleeves
patterns, which consist of a basic sleeve pattern, and a double flare.
- For the first flare, I used the lace fabric with the satin as it's base, then turned it with a cotton lining fabric.
- And for the second step flare, I cut out long strips of organza fabrics, with a width of 4.5 inches, placed it on fold, and pleated it round the flare.
After which I joined the both flares together and attached them to the main bodice.
My beautifully designed blouse is ready.
