Hello Hive.

Most times I realize how I do no need as many clothes in my closet It sometimes becomes a huge pile and so messy especially if there are not enough hangers to arrange them all and life keeps us busy from arranging our wardrobe. Not everyone has a house help to help with some of those basic house chore and we know how we can become busy pursuing trying to catch up with work, office hours and other activities.

Keeping a clean wardrobe becomes a challenge if we have too many clothes.
Remember that been a seamstress I have also been sewing as many projects as possible and even the tiniest fabrics is sometimes drafted to form small tops and blouses. It easy to keep a very full wardrobe from old and new clothes every time.

Some people can store clothes for a very long time thinking that those outfits are too beautiful to be gifted out to others. I recently learnt a thing that whatever clothes stays in my bag for more than a year without me wearing them, it is likely that I do not need them and can do without them.

Why will you keep a certain dress for 5years and beyond just because you like the dress. Even though you are unlikely to wear this dress when an opportunity to do so shows up.
Here is what I mean, once it is time to go out you want to be styled up in the most recent trend in town abandoning the dressed you are obsessed with and going to sew a new one to meet with the latest trend.

If the dress is outdated for you, why not gift it out, there are alot of people without clothes or shoes who wouldn't mind wearing anything to cover their nakedness.

I love the fact that I have so many friends who knowing that I sew new outfits occasionally come around to ransack my wardrobe.
They go straight to my box and pick what ever outfits they find appealing.
Sometimes my bag becomes empty too often that I lack what to wear almost immediately until I sew new ones.

Other times when they are too busy to come around, I will go through my bag, sort out some clean clothe and pass them to our community head and persons involve in distributing these outfits to the needy of the community

For today my black dress goes missing 😀 and I need to wear them for Sunday service tomorrow in church. I can't tell if I gifted them to the needy or a friend of mine took it.
The black dress is on of my favorite and I hardly go two months without rocking it on.

Basically I have a line of certain color of dress that I am willing to sew and replace them the moment they go missing. I purchases this fabric just yesterday for $2 and thought about what to sew with a trouser length of the fabric.

I couldn't go to the market just for a single piece of fabrics. Transport fair is on the high side I was left with no choice but an inferior black material.

Sewing a simple dress won't be a bad idea.

But adding a small amount of drape can make this classy

Sewing is done.

But a bead necklace won't be a bad idea too right?
I used buttons for the middle and surrounded this with some pearls
