Hello, needleworkmonday ommunity, wishing us all a happy and fulfilling week.

Do you know what is more exciting than being able to make your dress? It is also making dresses for people around you, the joy it brings adding a new dress to your wardrobe, I'm sure we all know how that feels. Sewing is a talent that spreads joy around, and I'm grateful to be blessed with such a talent.

Today, I will be sharing with us all a dress I made for a neighbor, we recently moved to a new area and she is the first neighbor who came to welcome us warmly, also making us feel at home and not miss our previous location too much, she is one of the nicest person I've met, very motherly and always have a warm smile plastered on her face. She also never stops appreciating the dresses I make and asks when I will be making her a dress as well, so last week, I got less busy with work and decided to fulfill that promise.

I made a straight gown using ankara fabric

Here I drafted and cut out the upper part of the dress, for both the front and back

And also added a zipper to the back

The interesting part of this dress is the sleeves, which I made using a tulle and satin fabric.

You did a nice job here, the fabric looks so much like Adire and I am sure your neighbour will like this.

Well done.
