This is the best sewing video I've seen so far!!!! Good pace and excellent explanation of details. If I don't have the tape for the neckline, are there any other options to have my neckline that smooth? Can you also upload videos for men clothing? I can't find them anywhere. It's just women everywhere lol! Keep up with the good work. Much love from Boston. 😄
Hello Chantal,
Thank you so much for your kind compliment, I sincerely appreciate it.
Two other ways of finishing the neckline, if you don't have store-bought bias tape:
1) Use the facing technique, where you cut a piece of fabric shaped like the neckline and sew on the blouse. (search "Neckline Facing" on TH-cam, you'll find a video).
2) OR cut a one-inch strip of fabric diagonally from the fabric, that's how you make your own bias tape (search "how to make bias tape" on TH-cam, you'll find a video).
Best wishes!

Hello,
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm just seeing this and I subscribed immediately...this is the best and really explanatory..but please what measurement do we use for the buba circumference..i'm guessing the bust??
Hello, thank you so much for visiting my channel. To get the Buba circumference, first pick the wider between your Hip and Bust measurement. Then add wearing ease (of 4 to 6 inches) to that number.
Have a nice day!
First of all, this is brilliantly done! Secondly, this is neat and precise.. Comprehensive to say the least.. This is the best sewing video I have seen so far, and trust me, I have seen MANY!! Kudos to you👍🏽

Goodday Ma, really liked your tutorial class pls how can i get the electric sewing machine and how much is it sold.
Hello, thank you for your message. It's a table top sewing machine. I've had it for over 5 years now and can't remember the exact price. You could check for Butterfly sewing machine on Jumia or Konga.
Thank you for the brilliant videos. Will there be one on how to make the dress that you are wearing in this video?
Hello TB,
Thank you sooooo much for watching. It's actually one of my favourite dresses, I will share a video as soon as I can, it should be fun to recreate this design. Lol :-)
I love the way you explain, clear and understandable.thank you for this.
Hello Sayo, thank you for watching. :-)
Tnx soo much but how will u cut buba and then get 2 1/2 wrapper and a scarf from 5yrds pls
Hello Jumia,
Thank you for watching.
The wrapper requires is 2 yards and 12 inches, the remaining 2 yards and 24 inches will be shared between the buba and scarf.
The amount left for the scarf depends on your body size and how much is required to sew a buba that fits your body.
I was thinking: Can we use bias tape on the sleeve cuff and hem as with the neckline?
Hello DaNel, thank you for watching. :-)
Yes, bia tape could also be used for hem finishing.
Nice tutorial. Love the way you teach and the nice smile too. Your outfit is very nice. Did you sew it yourself? if yes do you have a tutorial on it. thanks
Hello Abigail,
Thank you so much for the kind feedback, means a lot to me. :-)
No, I didn't, it's actually an old dress, one of my favourites.
Best wishes!

Hello Precious, I think a little over 1 yard. Thank you for watching 😊 Do follow me on Instagram @nedoux_sews and @yourrseamly. Best wishes sis.

Hello Margaret, Thank you so much for watching, I am certain you'll sew a beautiful one for yourself. Do let me know if you have questions. :-)
I found your page helpful,you are great teacher 😍😍😍
Hello Praise,
Thank you! 😃
What if I wanted to line it. What kind of lining do you recommend and how would I attach the lining?
Hello Nyanloro,
The lining fabric used would depend on the choice of shell fabric. In the case of wax print fabric (which I used), I'd line with a light-weight cotton.
1)Sew another buba body with the lining fabric
2)Attach lining to the buba body by sewing around the neckline
3)Flip the lining inwards, and understitch around the neckline.
4)Leave the sleeves unlined.
Nedoux Sews Thanks lovely lady for taking time to respond. I will try this for sure
You are a good teacher...you explained every step carefully...may God bless you without rushing
God bless you beauitiful. Thanks a bunch. Will appreciate a puff sleeve tutorial

Hello Amarachi,
Thank you so much for your kind words! :-)
Hi .. Your video was indeed a blessing. I want to sew this for my friend today. She believes in my sewing although I'm new to all these. Please how many yards of fabric did you use for your Iro and Buba?
Hello Ini-Abasi,
Thank you for your kind message, The amount of fabric will depend on the body size of the wearer. I reckon I used about 4 yards, the wrapper took a little over 2 yards plus and the top took a little over 1 yard. Best wishes!
@@NedouxSews I forgot to get back with you. I sewed a beautiful Iro and Buba for my friend and she loved it so much. Your video was indeed very helpful. I followed all your directions and details. Thanks again. I hope to make one for myself soon.
