☆.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 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).

Like I told you I would be uploading more ankara styles, so here are some pics from my mums 50th birthday which was held last year. The pictures are some of the styles my friends decided to make with the tailor, hope you like it :)

This is a simple dress with a pink band sewn onto the dress.
