Hello Hive.
Happy new week to my adorable family in this community, it is always a pleasure to come around again and again. And today the joy I felt showcasing my work is an usually one since doing this made me feel proud that I am improving daily in my fashion business.
You may not know this but creating solution to people's problems can create an open door of opportunities for you. Most businesses out there are selling solutions to people in the form of service. If you have got an idea that helps solves a problem that idea can be transformed into money making opportunity for you.
This is exactly what happened to me.
Last week I made a blog about how to stay healthy in every outfits we wear. It is very obvious that there is a direct implications on the things we wear on our health and per time. If you don't want to get sick, it will be good to adopt healthy clothing lifestyle,(wardrope lifestyle if that's what you wish to call it. Wearing the right clothes in the right season.
I am so glad that this idea sang into alot of people both offline and online and some have started adopting my ideas and suggestions.
And guess what?
I have got two customers who wants me to make them something comfortable for the season. They said that since I have got good idea I might as well make them something.
And the bigger part was that is that I was equally giving the privilege to name my price.
The first of them wants something official yet comfortable, since she is working in an office environment.
I thought of what to sew that can still be wearable both with a jacket and without it.
After some thoughts I came to a conclusion that a camisole can be useful for all season, yet I was going to make this in an official way that can still make it fit for an office setting.
Now here is something you can wear both in an office setting with a jacket and outside an office settings.
I started with cutting the front and back piece .
Making space for buttons since this camisole will be coming in a shirt form
Next was stitching of the camisole which is usually an easy thing to do
I turned this with a soft lining that wouldn't make my client turned friend feel uncomfortable
Now its time to fix some beautiful buttons and this to be hand stitching
How much do you think that it will be just for me to charge for this camisole
The fabric was bought for $2
The lining was less than a dollar and thesame with the buttons
How much will be my work fees having used 2hrs to make this?
I want to equally keep in mind that if I treat the first customer well she can bring me more referrals and that means more sales, yet we shouldn't underprice ourselves in our business.
I like this, especially the upper part of it, It does have the look like an ankara material. Those buttons are everything perfect for this camisole, beautiful!
Thanks dear
You should know that you always have a great sense of fabric choices and I say this is just great and I hope more is coming because the customers can't wait as well. Nicely done ✅
Thanks dearie, you are a real bundle of encouragement and I do not take it for granted.
Am honored by those words and I hope to keep it up
I do much love this camisole as it's a two in one, I'm sure your client will be so glad with what you came up with. Great job dear.

I equally remember my best seller.
