Using a stove iron to sew an urgent outfit dew to lack of electricity đĄ is so terrible đ, having to inhale the smoke that comes with the flames. All this just so I wonât end up disappointing my client.
Hello my honorable friends on this platform, good morning to you all and I wish you all a prosperous new week ahead. So today marks the beginning of this new week. It actually always fun writing to you guys each time, I trust you all are safe and healthy wherever you are, itâs alway gladden my heart writing to you all, so friends to day is yet another day I want to share with you all my just conclude outfit for a client as usual. He gave me this Ankara fabric and he pleaded with me to make something very lovely and simple so I just decided to sew this for him. So friends Iâll be sharing from start to finish how I got this outfit made đjust say connected to your favorite brand @smilestitches and let me take you on this short session.
Actually there wasnât any electricity đĄ for some reason I donât know, I hardly get light to do my urgent work whenever I need it. I thought I should give them more time they might eventually come later I waited till evening but I didnât see I was so angry, wasnât happy at all because I was suppose to deliver the cloth to my client this morning. So I thought of improvising instead of continuing to wait for electricity that am not sure theyâll come, I thought I should use a stove iron but I also considered the stress that comes with it so very huge stress, you get to inhale into your system dark smokes from the stove and you get to sweat a lot, the hole feeling and experience is just something I didnât just want but I didnât have a choice but to go ahead with it so I just brought out the stove and iron and I made the fire and I place the iron on top it and thatâs how I started sewing my clients cloth.
Items used:
- Am ankara fabric
- A plain blank fabric
- A gold color long zip
- A black color long readymade zip
- A matching color thread both black and gold.
My sewing processes:
Step 1:
As usual I lay the Ankara fabric, I bend it into two I draw my clientâs body measurement on it with a pencil âď¸ and I cut it out. I used same front pattern to cut out the back view and the both sleeves.
Step 2:
I then ironed out a straight line at the middle of the front to indicate the center of the fabric so what ever design Iâll be making following the line will just be straight!
Step 3:
After the ironing I lay the fabric on the floor, I opened it and I took the black fabric and I skated it like an arrow but i used size of 5inches and length of 11inches, and I place it on the front of the fabric and I bend and sew it to the front of the fabric.
Step 4:
After the black was laid, I took the long gold zip and place it on top the black, the plan I had was to make pocket there so I sewed an opening just like the size of the zip and I opened it and sew the zip to the front and I lay a piece under to form the pocket and that was how I got the front ready with a very simple and unique design.
Step 5:
After that I joined the right side of the shoulder, and i added the readymade zip to the right side of the shoulder and trimmed it and added the both sleeves and join the body size to my client measurement. I ironed bend the Length and package it for delivery, he just came right now and took it am glad he liked what he saw that mean my stress wasnât in vain.
Lack of electricity is making us face alot in this tailoring line
Mehn is not easy ooo
Asin tailors are trying
Yes oooo true no be here ooo
Shame, thatâs awful for you. The garment looks gorgeous though. Nice! â¤ď¸đâ¤ď¸đâ¤ď¸đ
Thank you for appreciating my work
Oh! Sorry for the stress you had to pass through because of lack of power supply.
I really understand how you felt when going through all this stress, same thing I passed through last week when I was making as an outfit for my client, I was thinking the power supply will be restored in few hours but it eventually took days that I couldn't wait any longer in order not to disappoint my client, I had to use this same method but mine was filled with charcoal, it wasn't easy at all. The joy is that I was able to deliver the outfit without disappointing my client.
Great job boss @smilestitches, thank for sharing.
I tell you my dear is very super stressful thatâs why I donât usually like taking urgent work because as you know electricity đĄ isnât to be trusted in this side of the world
Amazing output you got sir, sorry for the stress. God will enrich you to get a good generator that can power your iron
Ahhh boss amen i appreciate you sir
Curiously in my country Venezuela yesterday we also had no electricity and it was impossible for me to bring a job today, sad for me.
I love the fabric you used and the asymmetry of the design, it is spectacular, blessings.
Thanks @leslieq78 itâs nice receiving your comments
Oh wow, when I saw the fire I first thought now you will burn everything down, but after reading I understood you needed it for the ironing. Its really annoying that you have to work without electricity, this makes everythings so much harder. But thanks to your inventiveness, the shirt came out fabolous!
Yea I needed it for ironing thanks for commenting I really appreciate @neumannsalva

Wow how beautiful, coincidentally in my country Venezuela the power went out, it is complicated because you can not move forward in the projects, despite the setbacks you were able to finish your client's order, thanks for sharing your great work. Happy day!
A job well done under very tough and stressful circumstances, but like me, the show must go on, so the jobs gets done, no matter how much blood, sweat and tears and in your case, smoke gets up you nose.
How do you get your power? Do you have solar are on you on the mains powers through the city infrastructure?
Itâs the public electricity system ooo generally!
Nice job friend @smilestitches
