My sewing equipments:
Ankara material
Plain black material
Black thread
Soft gum
Paper gum

My sewing processes:

  As usual after my cutting,  I ironed out a straight in the middle if the front of the cloth to centralize any design I'll be adding to the front, this act is very necessary and important before beginning anything on a cloth to afford mistakes. 👇

  After I had ironed out a straight line in the middle I then cut my black,  size of 10inches and length of 13inches and placed it like this on the front and sew it👇

  Just as you've seen already have sewed the black to the front, then I slitted the front a bit and I cut out an inner turning and turn the rough edges to the back 👇
