Prepping For 2017

-


How time flies…
I was just going through the blog post we put during the year, and it got me thinking…

We have grown as an institute, and we have been privileged to impart our knowledge to individuals who keep inspiring us to do more.

As we make plans for 2017. We are re-strategizing for effectiveness, and below are some of the things we would be doing
  • We are re-introducing our evening courses
  • Ankara Bags and accessory course
  • We would be doing something fun for young adult in secondary schools (Fashion club)
  • Yes…summer course during the long Holiday
  • We are keeping our fingers crossed for our partnership with NYSC (Corpers, get in here!)
  • Not forgetting our Saturday classes
  • And our normal day classes

There is something available for everyone…so no excuse whatsoever, why you would not to realize your dream of learning how to sew and draft patterns in 2017.

We are changing the way we run our courses.

Each course would run for four (4) weeks, four times weekly (you can achieve your dream before mid-2017 WOW). In order to maximize the available space, two courses would run almost concurrently, with one running between the hours of 9:00am and 1:30pm (Tuesdays to Fridays), while the other would run between the hours of 11:00am and 3:30pm (Mondays to Thursdays). With evening classes running between the hours of 4:00pm and 7:00pm (Mondays to Fridays).

Students can come with their electric machine to school, and we would provide you with light and a table for setting up.

NOTE: A new Basic Sewing and Pattern Making course starts in on Monday, 9th January 2017. Registration has begun; all you need do is make payment and fill out the registration form.

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 the

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
