Hello everyone

Sometimes ago, I visited my friend who got married, after the visit, I set out to go home after spending much time with her then she handed me some of her fabric that was given to her as gifts on her wedding day that I should help her make simple dresses with them, I asked for money for materials but she declined instead, she just asked me to go with the fabrics.

For a very long time now, those fabrics has been with me without hearing anything from her about the fabric. Last week, I went to her neighborhood and I decided to say hi to her, I stayed with her for awhile before I went back home, on getting home, I remembered her fabrics with me, so this week, I decided to make a surprise dress for her from one of her fabrics.

Though I have been busy, but with the little time I have to spare, I have decided to make the dress bit by bit until I'm able to finish it and give her a surprise.

This is the maki g of the monostrap princess dart bustier I was able to draft out and sew yesterday just to set it aside until I'm able to have time to complete it since there is no particular date for delivery.

After drafting out the pattern o come brown paper, OT was transferred to the main fabric to cut out same shape and I embellished the front with glittering stones to bring out the beauty befor sewing the bustier together.

Now that I have made the upper bodice, I'm left with the lower bodice to make a complete dress.

Thanks for viewing as I will bring to you the complete dress as soon as I'm through with it.

😂 going again to her neighborhood again, branching her place again and she didn’t ask if you had finished the fabric she gave you 😂 she must really be a peaceful somebury ahhh one of my friends Tim will just skin you alive and for that too coming to his house again he will shout the roof down before you must have left he would have deaf your ears cus of his material 😂 that God you came back safe. Now you better complete the fabric ooo 😂 and less I forget this upper bodice is really looking good trust when your done with the down part it will be superb ✌️

Lol.... 😀😀😀😀😀 your friend must really be so impatient but that can only happens when you were being paid to the job.

Not making her fabrics was not intentional, how can a friend gave you fabric to make without a dime... I can't afford to make those fabrics for her free with the cost of sewing too, so she had better to be patient until I have left over materials from the clothes I make for others befor I could make hers.

Thanks for your comment @needlemover
