Some of the most beautiful Ankara styles necessitate a large amount of fabric to recreate. But what if you only have two yards, either gifted to you or purchased on sale? There are hundreds of gorgeous Ankara styles you can sew with just two yards of fabric, and here are ideas to get you started!
1. A great way to save some of that precious Ankara material is to use it together with some other fabric. In this case, Ankara was masterfully combined with striped shirt fabric and the result is the most stylish yet business-appropriate outfit you can wear to the office.
2. On the other hand, pairing your beautiful Ankara fabric with lace will create a completely different effect. This cocktail combination of a top and a skirt is perfect for any event, from a corporate party to a friend’s wedding, and you are going to be the best-dressed guest no matter how stiff the competition may be!
3. The variety of Ankara styles you can sew with just two yards of fabric does not just include beautiful dresses. You can sew a gorgeous blouse too! You will need far more fabric for a blouse than for a dress, so you can go with as much volume as you want.
4. If you want to be as practical as possible with your Ankara fabric, here’s an idea you’ll love. This multipurpose top/skirt uses very little Ankara fabric, but it can be worn in dozens of different ways and is a valuable addition to your wardrobe.
5. How about an Ankara mini skirt? Besides the clever use of two Ankara patterns, this skirt can easily catch attention with its impeccable and flattering shape. You can easily imagine this skirt to be used in any outfit, from casual to office-friendly.
6. And if a mini skirt is not something you envisioned for your newest Ankara item, then you will love this midi flared skirt. The biggest advantage of this type of skirt is that it is universally flattering and can add balance to any body type.
7. Even when you have just two yards of Ankara fabric to work with, you can still try the trendy colour blocking technique with your new outfit. Ankara is clearly the most eye-catching detail of this look, but it’s possible to sew a skirt like this with minimal use of Ankara material.
