Happy Sunday people, It seems I am having fun typing away. I hope this continues, so I can load this blog with so much of my musings about FASHION of course. So today, I went to the market after service (please don't judge me)... guilty conscience . I then decided to get myself my current favorite biscuit... Igloo Coconut Cookies. As I pointed it to the biscuit to the seller, a lady I met there told me about this NEW biscuit, I should try... OK. I left what I had in mind to buy, and got myself this NEW biscuit. As soon as I  had the opportunity,  I opened the biscuit to enjoy it. It was nice, but to me, it did not measure up to Igloo Coconut Cookies... my opinion My point here is after getting the information from the lady, I decided to take a risk, and try. As the saying goes "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Confidence can only be built when to you step out on your own. Look at a child learning to walk... He takes a step, falls down, stands, a

Hello... It has been on my mind to share with you some of the things we take our students through at OOTI, but the time to sit down and blog has to be planned, since I am not a full time blogger (for now). As we introduce our new students to the world of sewing and pattern making, we also introduce them to the basic mathematics of converting from centimeter to inch and vice versa. During the course of the week, as I taught new students on Calibration , I could read the expression on their faces ( Not again, I thought I was done with maths... LOL). The good news is that; it is more about the application of mathematics to what we do :) Now to the topic at hand: Why do we need to do this conversion in the first place? Generally, we at OOTI take measurement on the human body using inch, but we follow some pattern instructions ( Winifred Aldrich ) that  makes use of  centimeters, thus the need to know how to do the conversion.In between, if you must know, I think in inches. goo

You can never know it all.... Yes you heard me right. One thing I keep telling persons who come to us, inquiring about our course offering; is that, we can not teach you everything.

A magnifying lens can only get fire started when it focuses the sun ray. You want your impact to be felt in the Fashion world, then focus,,, as you keep learning every day
