Measure and cut the material - Ankara Craft Tutorial

SAED Ankara Craft Training - Measure and cut the material

Measuring is crucial. What you want is two shoes that look alike. It’s a pretty hard thing to do with the latest Ankara styles and prints. You need to make sure the print fits similarly on both shoes. So, how do you make Ankara shoes so, that they match? You measure the fabric and fit it carefully. First you measure and cut the first piece and then cut the second one exactly the same size and the same print direction and pattern. Do not start with one shoe, glue the fabric up and then move to another. You would never be able to match them up like that. First cut both pieces, match them and then move on to gluing.
