From Dreaming to Designing: How Fatima Took Her First Step into Fashion

Fatima had always admired beautifully tailored outfits. Every time she saw a well-fitted dress, she wondered how the fabric transformed from a simple piece into a masterpiece. She dreamed of making her own designs but didn’t know where to start.

One day, while scrolling through her phone, she stumbled upon Osas Olumese Training Institute (OOTI) and their Foundation Course in Sewing and Pattern Drafting. The idea of learning to sew professionally excited her, but she hesitated. Would she have the time? Could she really learn from scratch? Would it be worth it?

Then, she saw something that changed everything: the course covered 16 modules, designed to take absolute beginners through every step of the process—from understanding sewing basics to creating perfectly fitted garments. She realized this was the structured learning path she had been looking for.
