After setting up my goals for the new year, I stared work gradually setting up my workspace. The carpenter who made a single hand rest cushion care for me will be delivering it today, I equally placed an order for my manual overlock sewing machine since I cannot afford the industrial that cost over $220/200k naira.
Having industrial/electrical machines is of so much advantage because it gives so much advantage of a neat finishing for our outfits and that one can both both an outer and inner weaving. In situation where we cannot afford one thing, it is better to seek for alternative and continue to work with it until we are able purchase the ones we want.

While arranging my stuff I found my Pearl setting machine and decided to try some magic embellishment with it. They are one of the tools I had bought last year from my to-buy lists. I got this red lovely winter top I have bought last week and it looked so plain .
Having some Rhinestones, pearls and the machine I try testing the machine with work.

The machine has 5nozzeles for different size of beads. All you need do is pick a Pearl that fit into any size of the beads , place the time hook on the hole at the bottom of the pearl machine and pin this to a particular spot on the dress like this

While practicing how to embellish clothes I have learnt that we can blend in differnt sizes and color of bead on a particular outfits.
The rhinestone addes these glittering to the dress while the pearls added a touch of white to it.

It is equally good to mark out the areas we want to embellish on a clothes as this is a part of design work. There are several ways I can shoes to embellish this clothes, looking at it I feel like feeling up the entire front bodice of the dress with pearls but I have just done a portion and have kept looking at it to see if I feel some satisfaction.

I will to explore so many areas of sewing this year and different kinds of embellishment as well.
While writing this an idea came to my mind about writing out the basic terms and styles in sewing so that I can revisit them all over again to try and perfect some loopholes I have often avoided.

Cleaning, clearing, relaxing and little bits of work in between makes the order of the day for me.

Hope you all have been getting enough rest this holiday and after the festivity celebrations.
