Partnership Between OOTI nd SkillUp Week

-

 I have been away for a bit....but, how have you been?

What have you been up to?



So much has happened over time. Even though there's been routine work, but worthy of mention is "something different".

OOTI partnered with Skill up Nigeria, for her 2nd edition of training, and it was a blast.

The atmosphere was filled with so much learning, especially as the participants asked thoughtful questions, and contributed their own knowledge,  thus making the experience well rounded. 

At the end of the training, we got beautiful feedbacks.  Although we wished it continued, the end came, and we were proud of the beautiful skirts and buba that were made by the participants. .. and they went a step further to embellish their garment.

We can't help, but mention the presence of EDC, giving the whole experience an increase world class vibe.







You get to experience this through the pictures taken... 

Grateful to Aisha, who took out time to capture moments during the class.



Farida,  Rachel, Sarah, Sanusi,  Abba,  Mrs Mary, Khadija,  Umar, Hassan and Patience who came on the last day, but still found a way to make her presence felt. To other participants,  whose name I haven't mentioned, you added your flavour in the experience created.









To the organisers, we appreciate,  as we look forward to doing bigger things together.


Enjoy the pictures. .

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...

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...
