Maximize Your Saturdays: Learn how to Sew

-
Okay. .. 

I guess you have an idea of what  this post  is about, but before I go to the main gist, let me give you this side gist about me - Osamudiame Olumese.

Osamudiame Olumese doing her thing

I somehow have always wanted  to be involved  in the process of making clothing, thanks to my late Aunty  Bridget. So I started learning how to sew early, before my teen-age, as an apprentice  with my lovely Mommy  Mabel Odumah of Royal Vintage.


She is the best, and knows her craft, but I found it hard to connect dots, as I observed how she did her thing. I wanted to know why what, I wanted  to be able to mathematically and logically connect the dots on how a plain fabric can be converted into stylessss that fit... you get me abi?I just felt that there was so much  more.

At that point, the Internet was gaining publicity,  so my sister's  browsing skill came in handy as I sought to get admitted into one of those schools abroad, offering  Fashion Design as a course.

To cut  the long story short, I was unable to take that course,  but have consistently  taken time to acquire  skill both online and offline as regards everything  sewing. At a point during my NYSC, I ensured my Saturday was utilized in increasing  my sewing skill. So this Saturday class is very dear to my heart, as I understand that these persons are giving their very scarce time, and as such are ready to make the most to the class.

Pattern Drafting Versus Free Hand Cutting

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. Tools such as French curves, hip curves, set-square (60 and 45 degree), pencil, eraser, tracing wheel, etc are used. Exact measurement is used in pattern drafting. The drafted pattern is...

I was surprised today when she brought me a micro-mini version of the cut out fabric of what she had been taught in class, asking how it should be sewn. On a second thought, I was excited about the fact that she would be adding her creativity to the work...So I thought. I asked her, she further surprised me by saying, it is actually a macro-mini version, and she would be using it as house clothe😟😞😕 ....house clothe, ke? you mean you would take your time to sew a house clothe? My thoughts were these: she plans not to take the class work serious she would not put effort to ensure a beautiful result, by ironing or evening using interfacing. When I inquired, she then goes on to explain how she is better than those who made their class deliverable for some other person. Then I realized her issue, as I remembered a student who once said they were being thought how to sew vintage clothes. Consideration has been put into the curriculum we have come up with. We have had t...
