Sew Along Update!

Hello!!!

So I thought to put together some photos from previous sew along projects while I round up compilations of the on- going sew along exercise I'm having here on the blog. 

Have fun viewing them!

My Finished Sew Along Dress

Hey! Feels good to be back and to see the blog the way I want it to be! But honestly though, being naturally spontaneous, I just might do one or two tweaks subsequently - Lord help!

Now for previous readers of TSN, you would definitely notice the change in theme, colour,media buttons....I felt it was much needed because for one I wanted an all white background ( although retained the predominant pink colour which you now see all round the blog's pages).....all in all, I hope you like the new look!

Now on to the business of the day. quite honestly, I had to draft the intended post I was to upload and send this out because its been pending for too long and in my bid to becoming a more serious blogger lol!, I that it wise to send in the finished Sika sew along dress before doing my new posts.

In case you wondering why I didn't share the rest of the process, 'participants' on the blog weren't being very encouraging, abandoning me!  so I had to go it in my own :-(

Anyways, hope it would be better next time and meanwhile the sew along on Nairaland.com is picking up so well, would share photos with you soon. 

So here's my version of the Sika Scope Wrap Dress- I wanted a full skirt but with minimal gathers, so I added tulle to the underskirt. Hope you like!

SEW - ALONG SCHEDULE

So finally, a date has been fixed for our Sew - Along! Anyone as excited as I am? *dancing across the room*

The chosen date is May 18(Saturday).

Please don't feel sad if this is what you voted for,due to the email votes, blog and Nairaland.com  votes, it's obvious that this baby is our winning dress!

The dress is the Scope Wrap Dress by Sika Designs, a Uk based Ghanaian label owned by Phyllis Taylor. Their fabrics are sourced from Ghana and pieces handmade in Ghana by Ghanaian seamstress.

<<this dress was styled with a 50s inspired petticoat also by Sika Designs, but for our dress, we would attach the tulle to the underlining>>
