Hello everyone, hope you're doing well?
Here I made a very simple bubu gown, and I will show you the process and how I made it.
Materials needed.
Ankara wrapper,lining, dull face, Zip, tassel.
First thing to do, I measure out my length from the full material and fold it by two, i ensure it gives me the length I wanted and measure out my hand pit and neck using my chalk to trace it out and cut, of which the front neck length is by seven inches and the back by two inches.
I also fold the other side of the material and place the first one I cut on the other one and I give out one point five inches allowance for my zip for the back side and I cut it out.
Then I proceeded to cut out my lining for it by placing the material on the lining and cut out the exact shape.
Then i proceeded to cut out my hand and Pocket and also the dull face I will be using to design the hand and Pocket.
Before fixing the lining I will first fix the dull face material in the neck that's for the front part.
I measured out five inches of the dull face for the width.
And I measure out sixteen inches from it and fold it by two which he gives me thirty two inches and I use my chalk to trace out where I will it to have the shape I want.
After sewing it out from the line I trace out and I Cut out the extra material that is there, and when I open it wide,it gives me that V curve shape that I want.
Then I place it in front of the material Sew it,after that I proceed to fix my lining for both side of the gown which is the front and back side.
This is the front.
The back side.
I also proceed and fixed in the dull face material for the hand and Pocket.
After all that I proceed to join the both side of the gown together, fix my hand, pocket and the tassel in the front and finally here is the gown ready.
