Hi there!
Welcome to my blog!
So today’s tutorial was inspired by Nigerian Blogger and Saxophonist Tuke Morgan. I met her at Lagos Fashion and Design Week 2017 and she had this gorgeous hand fan with her. I asked where she got it and to my dismay she said Ghana sob sob. Seeing as I couldn’t go all the way to Ghana to get the fan, I used the little time I had with her studying the fan trying to figure out how it was made and viola! I figured it out and made very own foldout Ankara Hand Fanย and as usual, I have a tutorial for you guys on how to make one for yourself too! (see below)
… but before you go, here’s a list of some of the things you’ll need!
Fusible interfacing – a.k.a Collar Stay in Nigeria (half a yard is more than enough)
Ankara Fabric – about 12 by 45 inches in dimension
Heat bond hem – a.k.a Hemming gum (also Naija street name lol)
A measuring tape
A pair of scissors
A markerย or tailoring chalk
Something to serve as handles – I used 4 kebab sticks
E600 Glue or UHU Gum
Pearls (optional)
Enjoy!
P.S. –ย This fan is absolutely perfect for ‘asoebi’ especially if you want to stand out from the crowd wink wink
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
