Hey guys, thanks for watching so if you want a longer sleeve you can use 3 yards of fabric but for mine I used 2 yard and the sleeve is elbow length. (Please support the channel by subscribing, like and share my videos)
Just found Nelo yesterday by chance and she’s so good with explaining things precisely yet easy to understand. She’s my favourite channel. Thanks Nelo. You put the fun and sense back into sewing.
Wow wonderful,👌👌👌👌 I really like this video. This is look very beautiful. Your cutting and stitching very beautiful. You are very talented sister. May God bless you and all time happy your life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞💞
Thanks Mam for the teachings...it is well detailed. Please how do I know how to get the measurement for the body when making the bubu dress so that it won't be too big or too small when it is worn.
@steph_sommy & @toms9637 Just measure your body. However long you want your bubu that's how long your material needs to be, allowing for shoulder seams at top & hem line on bottom. Average would be 60" in length & you'd have plenty for even a half inch seam at shoulders & any size hem to have it fall where you like. If you want it exactly for your height measure from the top of your foot to the top of your shoulder. It'll probably be between 50 & 60 inches. After sewing & trying it on if it's too long you can always hem some more. Better to have more than too little. I hope this helps.
For the neckline, she used the centre fold (it was folded in 4), the first fold she made where she took the 2 yds and folded it in half and made the front and back at the shoulder. She then folded it once more making each (centre front and centre back). Using the centre front and back as her starting point, she went 5 or 5 1/2 inches along the shoulder for the width and right at the centre line she went down 2 inches. She then joined the 2 marks together for a boatneck. Now for the armholes, measuring down from the shoulder cut, ie. top of the 60 inch measure down 8 1/2 inches make a notch or a slit. The 60” has now become the length and the 1 yd the width. The notch marks the beginning of your sewing of the side seams. Before you sew your side seams, sew your two shoulder seams from the boatneck out to the armholes. The only thing I haven’t covered is the bias binding at the neckline. You can either use bias tape as a binding at the neck or make a facing to finish the neckline. Nelo, please tell me if I am leading everyone astray. I am a new sewer, but, you explain everything so well.
I am new at sewing and didn’t quite understand how to measure and cut for shoulder and arm openings. Could you please explain that to me? Many thanks!😊
When marking the neck half of what you were not doing was not visible on screen, world have been helpful to adjust the camera to show fully what you were doing
Thanks for sharing ma, am a beginner ma. What do you mean by over locking ? How do I do it? 2) am I supposed to sew the byass round the neck before joining the shoulder?
