Tube Top Tutorial With Fusible Bust Pad - I

 Hello you!

So for those of you who would be making wrapper blouses, skirt bLouses and the like, here's how you can apply fusible bust pads to your bust cups. If you are conversant with the nigerian blouses as seen on ladies wearing different asoebi styles, you would definitely come across blouses that make the blossom look absolutely wonderful! *clears throat*

As you can see, I've cut up by bust cups. Along with princess seams. You can go through my tube top and princess seam posts here and here

 Here, I'm using a lace fabric for ease of understanding.

You cut up your main fabric, your underlining (if you are using lace,you should have two sets of underlining as one set would be directly facing the lace and that is what people would see from the outside)

That's Sew Patternless!

Ever thought about a DIY route to garment construction? well here you go!

Have you ever come across a Nigerian DIY blog? Well I don’t think so cos I searched and searched and couldn’t find any – one of my favourite things to do is DIY/Sewing/Crafting/Designing as well finding new interesting blogs. And ever since I ‘ve been ‘hooked’ on blogs like www.amatterofstyle.blogspot.com, www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com, www.ispydiy.com, www.psimadethis.com and so many others, I secretly prayed that one day I’ll find a guilty pleasure in a diy blog from a Nigerian point of view where different fabrics (including ankara) would be used to create beautiful clothes and accessories.
