☆.D.I.Y Ankara Skirt & OOTN + Ankara Styles.☆

Heyaa guys,

So I'm back with another ankara D.I.Y woop woop! First of all let me once again state that I am far from an expert, I do not use a pattern and pretty much go with the flow!
At first I wanted to create a maxi skirt with the fabric but it didn't look how I imagined it so I later cut it and made it a midi skirt. So lets get to it shall we =]

What I Used:
+ Sewing Machine
+Tailors Chalk
+Ankara fabric
+Elastic


Heres how I did it

Step 1:

First I made sure the fabric I wanted to use was folded, then using tailors chalk I traced around a skirt I had. Here I use a maxi skirt because I wanted to make a maxi skirt to begin with but changed my mind towards the end.

☆.Then Summer Came (part2)....Ankara Styles.☆

Then I went to America (Philadelphia) for my cousins wedding and also to stop over in Kansas to see my brother who lives in there.

Some pics from the wedding below:

☆.D.I.Y Ankara Top & OOTN.☆

A couple of weeks ago I was let down by my tailor (as usual) who failed to produce an ankara dress for me, so I took it upon myself to sew something myself, a top. I only had around 6 hours to complete the top so I went with something simple that wouldn't take too much time to complete. I've never really had experience with sewing (apart from my textiles class in year 10 which I never paid attention in lol) so this was more an easy way to do it without any patterns.

Here's how I did it:

Step 1:

Trace around desired top twice for the front and back (I added length and sleeves to mine also).

☆.Graduation OOTD & Pictures.☆

It was my graduation back in July and I have only recently found time to finally sit down, organise and compile my pictures from the day. I still can't believe I am a graduate, it feels like only yesterday I was driving up to my uni with my mum and she was waving goodbye to me.... but the time has come for me to be a grown up guys and enter the real world!! (tears). I am just so thankful to God for all he has brought me through and where He is taking me!
Anyways here are a few pictures from the day and my outfits which where of course Ankara, Enjoy! :D.
