I remember when I was a lot younger… I think I was in secondary school, my mother took me to a tailor to get measured for a garment. According to my mother, this tailor was on-point (you know what I mean) as in his work was beautiful. Learn how to sew at OOTIKano I cannot remember being so excited about it, but who would not love to have more clothe as a child. Fast forward to the day when I received the clothe…. My response was…Is this it? The finishing was poor, the fit was not it. We took it for a number of amendment, and at a point, I just stopped, thinking I would grow to meet the cloth over time LOL. This memory is what caused me to keep asking myself “there must be something more”, as I learnt how to make clothing using the free hand method of doing things. This questions led me to the answer - pattern making. I wanted the focus of my garment to have a lot of emphasis on its Fit and Finish . I would not say I have arrived, but I constantly want to out-do my last job
