My Third Collaboration is with Stepahine she like sewing and had recently started remodelling an empty room to create a sewing room we collaborated on making her a swimwear. My task: Draft the swimwear pattern, use the pattern to cut the fabric accurately and share some secrets on how to construct the swimwear with ease.

Taking Measurements, drafting and cutting paper patterns

Cutting Fabric( we forgot the pins so we used phones as weight to ensure fabric does not slip)

Demonstrating the proper stretch tension for the elastic. 

Excitement for the mock fitting 

This was another awesome collaboration.

Thanks Stephanie I will do this again anytime 

Collaboration #2 Fashion and Art ABCStorytelling

 My second Collaboration was with Anietha Charles (ABCStorytelling ) she is  an excellent illustrator she also loves graphic and fashion designing. Our collaboration was quite easy we both wanted to do a trendy child garment with painting. My job was to sew the dress, hers was to add the magic touch of the painting on the dress. 

These are some pic of the child dress before and during the painting process.
