Wow, it's been a couple of months

Bangle tutorial, not the greatest. Still working on perfecting them but they're getting there

End result:

The one with the potential jewelry or somethin

So I am making these ankara braids, this is what I have so far. I need to make 8 more so I can have a necklace and that ring that I kept on trying to make is taking shape, not exactly what I wanted but kinda close you know

Hiatus and an ankara flower

I don't know when I'll be near a sewing machine again, I'm busy and my teacher (mi madre) and I are not getting along. So if I do post on this blog, it'll be little hair baubles and jewellry. Till then.

I made this last night when sleep was proving elsuive. An ankara flower

Ze mini Boubou

Okay......it's knee length but for moi it's mini. Anyway, this is a Mama Omosi and Omosi co-production i.e. I did like 32% of the work and my mum did the other 68%. So technically it's not an Omosi dress but it's a start.

Progress

Finally an update on THE DRESS. Today I was permitted to sew on end of the dress, I fucked it up of course and my mum had to unpick it and redo it but I didn't sew my finger and I think I have kinda figured out how to sew a straight line. I'll practice sewing straight lines tomorrow, maybe I'll get enough material for my ankara ring then........

*The plate with the measurements on the machine is where my eyes should be at all times
*It's not a race, slow down.
*The machine is not evil, it isn't trying to get you
*Keep the sides together at all times.

Anywhoooo, here's the dress. We're still working on it, this was the first fitting.

*The darts need to be repositioned
*We need to take in the area around my hip
* It needs to be hemmed
*The sleeves are too small

So tomorrow or Sunday, we'll work on that and by Monday (fingers, toes and intestines crossed) I'll put up the finished product.
