Something New, Something Different: New Courses at Osas Olumese Training Institute

-
Happy New Year.


2015 was a superb year, we had a great time teaching people how to sew from the scratch and saw them grow in their sewing, pattern making and cutting skill. We are happy to say the learning was both ways, you need to hear the questions and interaction during class sessions. In summary, our class session was impactful and loaded for participants.

In order to accommodate experienced sewers who would like to learn how to incorporate pattern making into what they do, we are restructuring our classes. Through we would still have the basic sewing course; experienced sewers can register for specialized courses depending on their need. Below are some of the courses we would be offering this year 2016.

  • Basic sewing and introduction to pattern drafting (skirt) course
  • Skirt variations
  • Pattern Making Basics (Bodice)
  • Pattern Making Essentials: Tailored Jackets
  • Pattern Making: Trousers


The Basic Course would start on Tuesday, the 26th January, 2016; and would run for 8 weeks. More information would be posted soon.


Once again from all of us at Osas Olumese, we wish you a Prosperous New Year.

So free hand cutting and pattern making? Well I have been here and there, but I must confess my preference for pattern making, and I am also a huge fan of standard sizes. I hope that is not too much for a beginner. Ok let me take it one step at a time. Free hand cutting, I believe a large number of us would be aware of it, but we might not know its name. Free hand cutting entails cutting a fabric directly, making use of the wearer‘s measurement. Tailors chalk may or may not be used to make markings on the fabric. The tailor or seamstress is usually very experienced, and over time have become accustomed to what he or she does (in most cases through trial and error).  Pattern drafting involves drawing out how the design would be accomplished on paper; making use of dart manipulation.
