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.

Good news... We are having a time of our lives  learning at OOTI. I used to wonder at the saying: if you teach others, you would understand  better. That is what this class, Basic Patternmaking : Bodice  has been. The students and lecturer learning. The good news for today  is..... Ankara  Accessories  training  would be holding in April . So, so,  so excited about this. Be prepared  to be part of this class, we would be  having a special  facilitator take the class, and it promises to be fun, fun fun. So so excited. Watch this space for more information. Please leave  your comments,  and share☺

I have a dream, I realise that for me to connect my now to the reality of my dreams, there is work I have to do. Some part of the work, I know to do, a large part I don't know. So, my strategy is to go where I would be equipped with knowledge, pictures that would give me direction towards the realisation of my dreams. The part I know, I daily work with, and I am also teaching those interested,  and who are willing to pay for it😊. For me learning every day has become my life style, it comes naturally because, I must get to the reality of my dream. I know how to make well fitting female clothing, this is what I do on a daily basis, alongside my team. Would you like to learn how we do this? Register...

By Osamudiame Olumese I wrote this in my journal a while back. I think I was just inspired at that moment about the words to motivate people to take up learning "how to sew" at Osas Olumese Training Institute. Ok, enough of my talk.... here's the write-up, enjoy and do not forget to comment. In learning a different way of getting something done, consciously, we would most times ask ourselves, why? Then, this is followed by; No, it is more complex. We must realize that the very way we currently do things did not come to us without a struggle both internally and externally. Our choice to hold on in spite of headaches (as a result of mind conflict), confusion (as a result of new process) made our new found knowledge become a way of life. You can relearn everyday, just decide to do it. #SomethingNew #SomethingDifferent #MakingUseOfMyMindProductively #HappySunday Osamudiame Olumese  is the founder of Osas Olumese, the brand that hous...
