Hello Hive.

Happy new week to all of us and like you know today ends the needlwework your jean contest which I have fought so hard not to miss out.
I wasn't fortunate enough to participate in the christmas decoration contest and I wasn't ready to let this pass me by.

So I hurried and got some jean fabric as I didn't have enough recycle jean to work with after using some of my old jean skirt to make this embellished tote bag.

It was a race against time as series of offline activities kept me away from getting this ready on time and I can bet you will meet me at this time still working on my dress.

Have seen this long array of your creative work with the denim fabric all along, and I didn't want to make a bag or anything of that sort,
Oh how I desired to have a jean dress for so long now.

Series of design came to my mind while cutting this fabric at about 8am this morning but if I wanted to explore this might take a little while to get completed.

So I kept this very simple.

The concept behind this was for me to send a heart shape to all my needlework family, telling everyone of you about how much I love and cherish you.

You have been amazing and have become a part of my life.

Helping me in different ways, the kind words, encouragement and advice to pursue my career.

Total strangers became friends closer than a sister and because you mean so much to me, I dedicate a simple design to say thank you for loving me so.

I love you all. ❤💖🌺🌹❤🌷🌹❤💖🌹.

The working process saw me cutting a simple straight dress which I made a love shape to fill in our African print fabric but guess what....

I can't tell what became if my dress, and the love shape became bigger than I want it, its not what I wished it to be.

And to think that I made this dress without ironing was is simply amazing. The ankara wasn't giving me a nice stand because it had no interface in between or a neat ironing.
I just have to make this dress and I had to challenge myself to improvise means that I can sew without ironing
And I can not afford the stress of a charcoal fire for ironing today.

Still lost for sleeve ideas( which is always my major problem with sewing) as I don't want additional denim for the sleeve my project seem half done but I hope the message of love is passed across.

I might just have to remove the heart shape and make it smaller, what do you all think?.

Let us love and be love that we can build a better world full of love and not war or hatred for one another.

Thanks for reading and stopping by 💖🌹🌸😍

Huhu @monica-ene I will write more later but I just noticed that you forgot the #needleworkyourjeans tag. I think @kattycrochet wrote in the contest guidelines, that it is neccessary to use it to participate and to write the post into the needleworkmonday community <3

Wow! thank you, my dear, for the touching dress. I'm sure all the girls will be very pleased here!!! they deserve such a big heart!!! I would leave the dress without sleeves, or rather, as it is. but I'm a bad fashion designer. 🙈 you can make two hearts: one is smaller at the top, and the second is bigger at the bottom on the opposite side

Aww I was so touched by this. Thank you for thinking of us and sharing your love and appreciation. We love you too and the beautiful work you always share with us.

I love your jean dress. I don’t think you need any sleeves (unless you just want some). Maybe just adding a trim of fabric (using one of the colors from the heart) is all you need around the arm opening.

I think the heart is fine as it is. I don’t have any other ideas at the moment but it’s really cute how it is.

💓💗💖💝

I appreciate you stopping by.
The trimming idea is great, am going to get some lace trimmings in blue and additional button ideas I have seen to complete this project.

Thanks for the brilliant idea. ❤🌹🌷

Aww what nice words Monica. I feel the same as you in that regard. Just today I was thinking, so many people we met in this community and we may never see them in real life, but they feel so close. It's a very nice thing too ❤️. And I liked your project, I think the size of the heart is fine anyway. It was cute on you 😃.

That big heart in the middle is a plus. I like the simplicity and uniqueness of the dress. You can add a puff sleeve using the same colors in your big heart or the plain denim cloth or you do it on every side. I mean the left sleeve will be the denim and the other sleeve using the same color of the fabric you use in the heart. 🥰

I would love to see the final touch of your dress with the sleeve. And honored if you will try my suggestion. 🥰 I know that you're a great crafter, and still it would amaze me whatever you choose for the sleeve though.😍
