We are starting actual production of our first dresses.
📌we did our mock and tested it for short dress
📌we then did another of a long dress with same pattern to see if we liked it. We like it....so, one pattern long or short in a lot of sizes.
📌tested please.....I will never buy none tested goods
If I give you one of these. I have given you the dress.
Just place on fabric, cut and sew

This skirt is advance sewing.
I will love to make it in a dress

Three yards of fabric will make just the skirt.
And for a dress, four yards, because the design is turned with the fabric.

Happy sewing.

This is a luxury dress and I love it.

Three yards of fabric with Abit of body will make this.

Ask me, I will answer anything that doesn't make sense. Happy sewing.

This sleeve is a raglan sleeve..... Looks like off shoulder but it's not.

To get this shape....pattern the back separately.

Happy sewing

Understanding how dresses where made has become an obsession for me

My focus is the skirt part.

This particular style has a lot of variations.

The red was patterned with a mermaid down. You can add more fullness than I did.

The other was patterned too with only one seam at the back. It can also be done with side seams.

Both styles can be draped.....but you have to use a combination of part pattern and part drape to drape this. What fun.

There is however a totally draped version. The skirt Will be straight because it wraps around you.

I am making this. Will share my fabric soon.

Happy new week to you.

I am assuming by now you have a plan for this year. 2024

If you don't plan......the year will still pass and you will still be where you are by next year. Say God forbid!

The greatest course is "may one remain in one place for Loong" A rut is a grave with the ends kicked out

Planning will help you move.....are you 100% sure of the outcome? No but you are sure of one thing.....you will make progress.

So....let's say you want 5 apprentices this year....that are serious and will treat your business like their own.....write it down, their character, everything.

Two tailors that sew well, are so serious.....write it down in details.

10 customers that live abroad, 10 good paying customers locally.....write it down. How they pay...write it down in details.

You want two additional seeing machines, sound system, iphone....,write it down as you will see it December 2024.

Now you have written it all down.......

Come back to now, today and ask yourself......what will I have to do to make all those things I have written down come to pass?

Me myself... I will start taking my business very serious.... because no body will take what you, have not taken serious, serious.

I will open my business earlier. It's a sign of seriousness.

I will happily do my jobs better. The way some people sew and complain...ehn. even the machine is angry with you.

Add other things to the list please and as you do your part .......watch God do His part ......He promised... I will bless the work of your hands....He is a promise keeper. He watches over his words to perform it.

Remind Him everyday........You promised!!!

Let's make 2024 our best year ever.

Sometimes........especially when we are on a serious project........ I find myself saying......it's not easy to be a designer.

Seriously.....it's not easy. But wait......which one easy?

To pr******te self is not easy......even to steal is not easy.

My husband is a movie director ( theater)........he did the stunt for Jagun Jagun and the last Funke Akindele movie A tribe called Judah.....

He works harder than I.

You see success is hard work..........even Bible self talk am...."a little slumber, a little folding of the hand and poverty will come on you like a bandit in the night"

Being a designer is for the strong. I kid you not but I love it, I don't want anything else. I was born to sew

Incase you don't have jobs yet...... please don't worry yet, this year is different. The year moved fast, people are sewing late this year.

What you should do......

Take a pen and paper....write out what you what to make for this month. This will then become your prayer point and affirmation.

"As you have spoken in my ears.... I will do to you"

May this be your best month this year

At the beginning of every year, I list the colour of tops that I need and I buy the fabrics to make them.

I plan for tops, trousers ... infact, I plan all. Yes I make all my clothes.

And if you know me, you know I love beautiful clothes.... So, I am always saving styles that inspire me

The clothes that I make with English fabrics.......a lot of people don't know I made them. They think they are ready-made

It is such a blessing and I am truly grateful.

You too can join in this blessing by paying for this class......they details are below

The pink top is my version.......... I made not too long ago. ............to buy this top in a shop will cost from 12 to 15,000 naira......a few months back. I have not asked recently.

The other one was posted yesterday by a student as her version.. I love the full look

You too can make your own top and other beautiful tops.

Just by paying for this class .........it will open your eyes to understand how to sew other tops too.

Why buy tops when you can make them ...?

Only you will know you made them because they will look ready made.

It amazes me why tailors still buy tops. I don't get it.

Do yourself a favour......and pay for this class. All the secrets and so simple too.

This is the best gift to yourself this season.

Or the best gift to a friend that sews....be expecting a top from her because she will be thinking......Tops soon.

She has a function to attend and she brought her old wrapper to make a dress.

It came out so fine.

It's a special occasion dress.

Special occasion dresses or should I say....luxury dresses.?

It is interesting how putting out a training can actually change my own life. I am so grateful.

Luxury dresses......all the secrets

It's a three months training.

Cutting, sewing, embellishing and draping.

We can't all drape on our clients......why ? We sew for real women that have busy lives and can't afford to be draped on all day.

Techniques for different looks and styles.

Beautiful fit for all shapes.

It's another level for you
