This is the most comprehensive dashiki tutorial on TH-cam!! My biggest issue was doing the neckline and this helped me soooo much! Thank you!
You're welcome! That was my biggest challenge as well. Through the trial and error, I finally learned.
This is how I found this video. I was searching for how to handle the facing.
Girls ain't the only one one wants this. I'm trying to learn how to make these myself. I can't wait to wear my Ghana/Nigerian style dashiki. This brother is PROUD of his African heritage. So what I'm American? I'm AFRICAN first.
Herley Taylor Yes make you some my brotha!
Yes you are 👍
Keep up the good work, you were very detailed and I was able to follow thanks
Ohh I did not know there was dashiki fabric. Thank you. Beautiful Dashiki shirt.
You're welcome!
Loving this top. You are making it so easy for me. Very much appreciated!!!!
No problem! I'm glad it was helpful.
Thank you for the tutorial you've helped me out a lot! 😊
Thank you very much. I made this dress 👗 yesterday 5/10/2020. Every one liked it. Once again 😊 thanks.
thanks so much for sharing this. It helped me figure out how to use the dashiki panel to make a dress for myself. Just so you know though, that solid piece of fabric at the neck that you're adding is called the facing, not a yoke. In dress-making, the yoke is something else totally different :-)
You're welcome! And thank you
Thanks so much! Beautiful piece!
This is cute sis....I try and make my self one
I got a beautiful piece of fabric and I don't want to cut the nicely line ends. This video will help me create a beautiful dashiki top.
I wish we can get a hair tutorial. Your natural hair is so beautiful. And I see that your protective styles help in maintaining that.
Thank you so much! Hair tutorials coming soon! I'm trying to decide what to film first, how I braid my hair or a wash day routine.
Thank you for your detailed and easily followed tutorial! There are others on the same subject, but not nearly as helpful.
Thank you!!!
This is another great video you have shared. I'm having a problem getting the neck large enough. I don't want to mesh it up like I did another shirt. I cut out two sections but it still will not go over my head. How can I measure this Ankara fabric to fit over my head. What is the measurement of your panels?
Hello, how would I figure out measurements for kids please? I'm trying to make for my sister and her two boys!
Nice, you make it really simple.
next you have trouble with your camera going in/out of focus, just take it out of auto focus or close your aperture to somewhere around 3 - 4.5 .
thans\ks for the video.
Prince HWC Thank you for the compliment. I took the auto focus off when I recorded my 4th tutorial. Trial and error. I'll have to try out the aperture trick, thanks for the tip.
I understood all you did except for near the end when you machined down your marks, you left the bundle of fabric beside where you had sewn it, you didn’t trim it off, so how did the sleeves appear?plus with picture of it being worn, it didn’t show any excess fabric anymore, where did it go? Is it possible to get a paper pattern of this Dashiki to use as a guide.
Many thanks
Very nice & easy to understand
Thanks,es lo que andaba buscando!
Great job, Montoya! Got a little dizzy with the cutting out of the kneck hole... but you worked it out... LOL Much love
Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing! Worked with this fabric yesterday. Video on my channel!
Fareed The Tailor Yours came out amazing 👌🏾! I love the collar. Wish I had a fabric store like that near me, all that wax 😍
Montoya Mayo Thanks! And yes it truly is great. I used to work there too. Half the store is more Indian, that other side is African. This was my first time ever buying an African fabric. Love all the colour!
Beautiful 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Excellent!
thank you so much for sharing your expertise! Awesome!
You're welcome!!!
What type/size needle do you use with wax fabrics?
Tamara Webstercrucey I use a universal needle: 80/20
Montoya Mayo ahhh ok, ty! I had a sharp one my machine and I had to clean up a disaster
Tamara Webstercrucey oh no I hope you were able to redeem your project
Hi where did you buy the fabric, it’s very nice.
Thank you! I ordered it from a shop on Etsy 'ShopKente'
Very cute sis, I like this a lot😍 The tutorial was very helpful and on point 🎯
Excellent tutorial 👏👏👏 but am a bit worried about messing up the nick line.
Thank you! I hear you, I had to practice one before getting the neckline down.
Thanks a lot, 👍🏾☺️☺️😘
Siga NIAKATE You're welcome!!!
Was the dashiki long enough? My fabric, when folded in half to cut through the centre, is very short. It would only make a crop top if I did it this way. U stead, I had to line up two panels and could not get the beautiful symmetry you got.
It would fit as a crop top or only long enough for a child.
Yes, mine was long enough. The dashiki panels come in 2 lengths. I used the panels that are 72 x 46 (www.etsy.com/listing/254835722/2-yards-royal-blue-color-dashiki-fabric?ref=shop_home_active_5&sca=1)
where do you find the fabric piece?
Hi! I found it on Etsy.com, the shop is called Tambo Collection.
How much fabric did you use? Thanks for the tutorial
You're welcome! I used one panel that measures about 2 yard- 72" x 47"
@@MontoyaMayo you are awesome. Im trying to teach myself how to sew. Ugh
You got this! I'm self taught as well, with each project your set of skills will grow. I started off making bow ties, I never taught I'd be making full garments like I do now.
found the collar to be more difficult for a new time sewer
Anna Pronesti Yeah, the collar can present some challenges. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can clarify anything.
The first time I made it I think I got lucky, because the second one I had to pull out my seam ripper for the collar. By the time I got to my third, I'd learned so much from my errors that I was able to improve.
Why you didn't show the final look with the black one?
I took the pictures in the spring and the blue one just fit the season better from my perspective
Montoya Mayo ok ok
What😮 I’m lost are you done? It’s not done is it? That didn’t look like the thumb nail..
