HOW TO MAKE THREAD RACK
Materials:
– Hammer
– 2/12″ nails
– 12″ x 36″ board
– measuring tape
– pencil
First thing’s first. I ran into a little trouble hammering nails into knots and wood grains in my board, so try to get as un-knotty a board as possible.
For average thread spools, you’ll want to put nails every 2 inches (more if you’re doing large spools like for sergers). Using your measuring tape and pencil, put a tick mark every 2 inches down both long edges of your board.
Next, match up the tick marks across from each other with your measuring tape and make tick marks going across the board every 2 inches. You should end up with a grid of tick marks, like this;
Next, hammer a nail in at every tick mark, with an upwards slant to the nail. I found it easiest to start at the bottom and work my way up the board.
And that’s it! In about 30 minutes from start-to-finish, you’re done!!!

HOW TO CUT AND SEW MALE & FEMALE AGBADA
What is Agbada?
“AGBADA’ is the Yoruba name for a type of flowing wide sleeved robe, usually decorated with embroidery at the neckline, which is worn throughout most of Nigeria by important men, such as kings and chiefs, and on ceremonial occasions like weddings and funerals. The Hausa name for the robes is “Riga”.
It usually consists of an inner outfit and then an outer flowing robe
And it is worn for special events and occasions.
Requirement:
1. Fabric or material of 7 or 8 yards.
2. Scissors
3. Pen/pencil/marker
4. Body statistics: The body statistics needed are:
• Neck-to-hand: Place your measuring tape at your neck and measure to your hands
• Chest/bust: Place your measuring tape round your chest or bust
• Neck to elbow: Place your measuring tape at your neck and measure to your elbow joint
• Shoulder to leg/feet: Place your measuring tape at your shoulder and measure from your shoulder to anywhere beyond your knees.
5. Measuring tape and ruler
6. Tracing wheel
Procedures:
To make a pattern for an Agbada or robe, you’ll begin by (a) Making the front neckline (b) Making the backline (c) Adjusting for the flow.
1. Making the Front neckline: Because Agbada is a type of robe wore over the head instead, it does not have a demarcation at the shoulders. Meaning, it does not have a front and back piece(s). Thus to make an Agbada without making a front and back pieces, fold your pattern paper into ‘two’ equal halves, with the two folded areas facing upwards, and the one solid folded area, facing right.
Let the dotted lines indicate folding
- Faint dotted lines= two folded areas
- Bold dotted lines=Solid folded area
Your pattern should be “neck-to-hand” wide and “neck to leg” long(See requirement.)
Next, place your measuring tape at the point of intersection (that is, where the foldings meet), measure your neck circumference which is usually dependent on the size of the chest/bust.
Let use 34 inches as the chest/bust size, the neck width is 2¾ inches. From the P.O.T(point of intersection), measure this value and mark, as shown in the photo below.
Then from the bold dotted lines, measure 3 inches downwards and mark. This is a standard length of a neckline. However, you can choose to make it longer.
Draw an arc from the new point at the folded line to the neck width, as shown in the photo below.
You can choose to leave your neck line like this or make a keyhole with it.
To make a keyhole neckline, measure out the chest/bust level from the shoulder. This is usually 8 inches from the shoulder.
2. Making the back neckline: To make the back neckline, measure one inch from the POT,and mark, then replicate your front neckline, as shown in the photo below.
When done your back neck line will look like this.
Next, cut out your back neckline as shown in the photo below.
When done, place the front of your pattern on top the back, and your Agbada pattern will look like this.
3. Adjusting for bottom: Now we have to indicate where the bottom of the agbada will be closed. Without this, the front and back sides of the Agbada can not be joined together when sewing. Therefore, to do this, fold your Agbada back into ‘two’ equal halves and measure out your ‘neck-to elbow’ measure and mark. With your ruler, trace this mark to the bottom of the Agbada and mark.
When you open up your agbada,it will look like this
And your agbada pattern is done
How to Sew the Agbada
Step 1: Trace your pattern on your fabric of choice. Cut out what you have traced. Then, fold all the edges either once using a Serger or overlocking machine to lock the ends first and then stitching or twice by folding the ends twice and stitching.
Step 2: You can choose to design the neckline of your agbada by using an embroidery machine. If you do not have an embroidery sewing machine, then simply take your Agbada not yet stitched together to people that do and can make embroideries.
Step 3: At the bottom of the Agbada, where you have snipped, stitch 5 inches upwards to join both sides of the Agbada together and then to the sides. Snip off the excess.
And you Are done.

HIW TO CUT AND SEW DRAWSTRING BAG (DIY)
When you are a kid, you have a million things to do with your hands. The way a lady carries her handbag, wrapped around her hands (even though there is close to nothing in that bag) looks beautiful. But this is not how a kid perceives his bag should be.
For him the bag should be functional but out of sight and out of hands and light enough. Here is where the drawstring backpack bag comes to be of use; it carries many things and is totally hands-free.
This bag is one of the easiest bags you can ever make. If you have readymade drawstrings all the more easier. If you do not have the nylon cords you can use as drawstrings or you would rather make them yourself.
1 Pattern pieces
2 Bag pieces (+ 2 identical lining pieces if using): Cut 2 rectangle piece of fabric 15 inch by 13 inch ( for small drawstring backpack bag) 17 inch by 15 inch (for a bigger version of the backpack bag); for a more square and bigger shape cut 20 inch square pieces.
As I am using a synthetic silk fabric which is rather thin I have decided to add an underlining – cut same pattern pieces as earlier. These are kept under the main pieces and treated as one.
2 Loops : Cut 2 small pieces of fabric 3.5 inch by 2 inch
2 Drawstrings: Cut drawstring – two pieces of 60- 65 inches long
How to stitch the Drawstring Backpack
Step 1
Prepare the loops
Make small loops from the 3.5 inch(length of loop) by 2-inch pieces by folding it into spaghetti strap fold (double folded bias tape kind of fold) and stitching in place.
Step 2
Make any embellishment you want on the top fabric for the bag or leave it plain.Your choice. You can add a pocket or make applique work or do embroidery.
Step 3
Prepare the casing for the drawstring on the top edge of the bag pieces.
Turn the side fabric edges of the bag pieces 1/4 inches to the back of the fabric ; press in place.
Now turn under the top edge of these pieces 1/4 inch first and then Turn again 1/2 inch. Stitch in place. This is made as a casing for the drawstring.
Do this for the two bag pieces.
Cut open the seam allowance from under the turned under casing.
Step 4
Keep the top bag piece right side up. Fold the two fabric loop pieces you have made by half and Keep the loops to the inside some 1.5 inches from the bottom edge .
Pin the loop in place or baste stitch in place
Step 5
Now Keep the other bag piece right-side down on the rightside up bag piece with the loops. Now the two fabric pieces for the bag will be right sides together ( ensure that top edges are aligning correctly)
You have to stitch the side seams of the bag ( red line in the picture indicates stitching line
When stitching make sure that loop is correctly held in place and it is included in the stitching of the side seams
You should do double stitching lines ( or more) so that the loops are secure
Turn the bag right-side out. The bag piece is ready
Step 4
You have two pieces of drawstring of about 60 – 65 inches long
Thread the drawstring each through one of the top edge casings with a safety pin. ( Both the back and front get one drawstring each)
Step 5
Now thread the drawstring ( either of the two drawstrings) through the loops on either side
Tie the loose ends of the drawstring.The knot should be extra strong. You donot want the knot coming loose under the weight of things in the backpack later.
Do this for the other side as well.
You have the easiest drawstring backpack ready.
