Fresh Hot Bread? Yes please!!

Hey there,
   So Mum tried to make a loaf yesterday because she couldn't be bothered to get one at the corner shop. She wanted a quick way to success but it ended up rock hard like my sister put it- Mount Everest! I thought Aso Rock was more appropriate. Lol.
   This morning, I decided to have a go, followed the steps online religiously and asked the Holy Spirit to be my teacher and voila!- fresh hot 'nigerian-style' bread, so sweet!!

Things I would now do differently

. Use butter with better quality
. Try using bread flour
. Wait till the loaf has cooled before forcing it out of the tin! (I'm so impatient)

Everything else it just PERFECT. Hope you like it and try it too.

Jasper Conran patchwork dress- SS13 collection

AWESOME!, Is all I can say after I stumbled on this picture during one of my 'wanderings' around the cyber world. :) looking for style ideas for a dress I'm about to make, to attend a birthday party today! : D  I love patchwork like this..but its very tricky, it requires a high level of technicality,creativity and accuracy. I think the less stressful method is the rectangular piecing(sewing strips). This dress has the hexagon pattern (hard or what?!), hence 'should' cost a fortune.I respect this designer and the seamstresses(they are the real workers).. Whew!

                                Oxfam                                                                       Sears catalogue 

So I've done a quick reality check, and I have come to a conclusion that with my level of sewing expertise, I can confidently make any one these less stressful,less time consuming and equally stunning garments instead.  : P  However, I have accepted the challenge of making some hexagonal ones in future. (Battle line is drawn! Funmi Vs Jasper Conran ¬_¬)

I am so inspired,feel like to make one right now!, so I'm on a fabric-rampage,Be warned!.^_^

Let me know which one you like the most and why...

Thanks for viewing
