Summer Plans

This title reminds me of the movie - High School Musicals.

I am yet to travel outside the shores of Nigeria, but the movie painted a lovely picture in my mind that I hope to experience and keep experiencing very soon.

Summer Fashion School

But I vividly remember one of those long summer holidays, while in secondary school, when I made the decision to acquire knowledge about my fascination. This was the start of my journey, learning how to sew.

I was so excited, that my parent had agree for me to do this, and had talked to my mentor Aunty Mabel of Royal Vintage, so I could learn under her.

That step has brought me years latter to now. I have grown, I now run a Fashion School, in the same city where I started out, I am bigger, I am better.

I have through the vehicle of my Fashion School created The Summer Fashion School, which hope to berth talents like me, even as they await the start of a new Tertiary Institution session.

The curriculum has been created especially for this set of person(s). We would be teaching you what you would also practicalize... 

I cant help but remember the feeling, when I first made a garment for myself. You would be resuming school with a wardrobe that includes garments made by you.

...And yes, learning under an atmosphere of creatives, have you ever had that experience?

Unlike my yet to be realised summer dreams, you have this chance to make the most of this summer... wouldn't you rather make it count with us?

I hope you are excited to learn, as much as we are excited to have you.

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...
