Sweet Susan Designs

Hi See mates ,

If I read your mind, I'll find these questions

is there really a large market for headwears?.
Am I sure of good sales & profit?
Is it worth the trouble?.

African women are stylish and fashion conscious, most of them.love to be given that recognition especially during events .
Some even ' pepper ' them with their dressing 😃😃😂.

On a serious note , what is a queen without a hat?
Have you ever caught queen Elizabeth without a hat or Kate Middleton without her fascinator?

Muslim women mostly complete their outfits with turbans .They are every where, your duty is to reach them with your products .

How about Christin ladies , old and young , pastors wives , female ministers would often compliment their dressing with accessories like hats , fascinators , turbans and gele.

God forbid the economy that will deny Nigerians 'owambe' and this sure makes autogele always trend.

Weddings,no go there o🤓😎, Ghanaians even rock fascinators more these days 😄

The list is endless, as long as dresses remain a primary product, accessories will equally do.

All you need do is to know how to deliver excellent and quality products & by Gods help,you will make it, trust me.

I'm rooting for you

let's solve this.small maths together;


2.5 yards of crinoline = 25.×350 =875
Alice band =. ............ 600
2.5 yards of Biase =. 200
hot glue. 150
small piece of scuba. 100
feather. 800
fabric flower/ any accessory. 500
thread/ needle. 100
power( BEDC or gen). 400
Transportation. 500
Fixed cost 1000
Total. 5225
if you sell wholesale @ 6300
gain . 1000
for least gain with retail 2000

You can make three of this in an hour

in four hours you can make a dozen.
i.e 2× 12 = 24k on a dozen .

Even if you earn 24k as an extra income for a four hour deal as a Fashion designer/ milliner is it bad? What's your comment?


Think about it ,🤔

DEAR BEGINNER,

Take pictures and videos of your growth process.

Imagine if your parents didn't keep your one - three year old picture ! Your picture when you were in primary and all through college days , you too didn't bother to take! How would you know how you looked back then?

It's very important you take pictures and even videos of your' little beginning '

You need them to check your growth process , to evaluate how you are doing and the necessary improvement to make.

Also in the future, you will have a story to tell because you would have grown and succeeded and your followers will believe you are genuine.

# Take pictures of your growth process.

Happy New Month

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Romans 5:6‭-‬10 KJV

We are reconciled back to God through Christ Jesus .Our lives lack meaning without Christ and there is no hope of eternity.

I persuade all my friends , sisters , brothers and loved ones to consider how we are faring in our walk with God , especially now that His coming is close.

# Do you have a relationship with Jesus Christ?
# Jesus loves you
# Believe Him in your heart
Him with your mouth
# Repent & be converted
# live for His glory.

I will be in my DM for further discussion.

You know I love you & and pray you a beautiful month.🤗

Happy New Month..

Dear Fashion Craft Beginner,

Avoid this trap or do I call it temptation 🤔

So many people believe that headwears and dresses are not priority for Nigerian women now and that food business is the ultimate deal.

And you , yes you since You have this mindset , you have attracted many people like you .You have connected with people like you.

Can I shock you? you are not correct !

Many Nigerian women are still fashion conscious, many are still making their looks a priority, many are working hard to earn money legitimately to be able to dress well because they know the importance of self esteem.

I just produced & delivered 4 turbans and 1 A*o oke headband for one single individual. 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿Another shocker , she is a first time customer !🤸🏿🤪🤓 And by the mercies of God , she is coming back with a higher demand and referrals in Jesus name .Amen.

One thing that is working for me is my mindset.I remain positive even In a negative environment.

Dear beginner, follow this foot step and you will see greater results.

Can I add it here, its God's grace at work in me .and this grace I found in Jesus Christ
# Do you know Jesus?
# Are you connected to Him?

AS A FASHIONPRENEUR🎽🎩, WHAT ADVANTAGE DO I HAVE OVER PRODUCT SELLING🧭🚛🎁 BUSINESS IN THIS PRESENT ECONOMY ? PART 2.

let's continue with our Rolake and Nkechi story( kai, you like jist sha 😀)

Remember from the last episode Nkechi had set up her food retailing business while Rolake had completed apprenticeship, gotten some collaborations and now producing turbans on wholesale level .,💃🏿💃🏿

So then came the wind 💤 of challenge as it would always come on every other business;

The inflation in prices last February negatively affected Nkechi😭, she had finished selling off her last bags of rice when the price shot up , unfortunately for her due to her lack of experience, she hadn't enough cash to add to her capital, infact many people took advantage of her soft heartedness ,🤤☺️ bought goods on credit and were yet to pay as at period the prices excalated! Oh my goodness! 😭

Rolake on the other hand had a different story! half of her clients were able to sell out and reorder while others hadn't broken through.

So with the gain gathered from the sales , she produced some.eye catching designs😎, ran facebook ads and sold out to end users .So she gained both from wholesale & retail.

She was able to leverage on her skills.She had more sales options than Nkechi who could only trade.

Let me tell you, if you master these crafts, how to effectively market your products and how to grow the business , you are not likely to be financially stranded .🎉🥇🍬🌴.

AS A FASHIONPRENEUR🎽🎩, WHAT ADVANTAGE DO I HAVE OVER PRODUCT SELLING🧭🚛🎁 BUSINESS IN THIS PRESENT ECONOMY ? PART 1

Are you tired of average? then come closer, I have an inspiring story to tell you.,👂🏿👂🏿✍🏿

Rolake and Nkechi were both 👭classmates at the University of Ibadan.They got endered towards each other because they both hated poverty with passion.They weren't prepared to waste their precious time hoping for jobs after school.
Yea, they had great hopes that God will come through for them and they will be settled, but while they wait, they just must get busy.

That said after NYSC , Rolake quickly enrolled in a fashion Academy to learn all about fashion while Nkechi got a soft loan of 2M to start off retailing raw food . According to her, ' man must wak'

Rolake for a whole year kept working hard to know more in fashion designing which of course includes millinery .
All through out she was low on cash but Nkechi's case wasn't that bad.

Fast forward, Rolake rounded up and didn't have as much large capital .,She only had 200k that she gathered from family and friends .

Ah how will she ever start off? This couldn't even rent her a shop in Abuja!she got really worried but prayed for direction .

Let me tell you what she did ,

📌 She carried out a thorough research and came up with these;

With her 200k , she bought a strong singer machine,serger & a pair of scissors, got some good fabrics too.

Remember I told you she lives in Abuja where lots of women accessorise with turbans..
She then made some samples , and was able to convince big madams with boutiques that she could produce turbans for them to retail .These women collaborated with her and she got to work .

Would you like to know what happened to both ladies afterward? then type YES .

If I get your positive responses , I'll come back with the part 2 of my story .,🤓😃

Meanwhile, stay motivated,💃🏿🥂 it's a new week.Get up and smash your goals .Through the help of God Almighty, I pray that this week be a fruitful one for you in Jesus name.🙏🏿

Use whatever you have, don't allow circumstances dictate to you.😎

Start with whatever you have , yea improvise with what you have .

I needed to film some procedures for my online students.We all know the importance of good light in video filming . However, Our people, BEDC said they won't be fair to me .They kept displaying their real nature and my work was lagging behind.😔😔

You know what I did , I improvised for ring light & industrial sewing machine.
Kia , I moved to my black head singer machine & moved it to face my window where I got direct light from Baba God 😄😃.

My videos came out sharp!

Ntoin to BEDC , the younger sister to Nepa 🤣🤣😋🤪🤓🤓

So stop the excuses, use what you have.

Gumming appliques and other accessories on fabrics, headwears or any other fashion craft can be a challenge!

This is because you do not know how best to use it.

UHU gum and other brands of gum are quite expensive now and you will need to just make your hot glue gun your friend 🤗.

With it, you can do a variety of services in your craft making journey .

How do you make neat edges /finishing with your hot glue gun?

FROM YOUR SISTER

Don't believe it, it's a lie.!

People never eat, na dress den go dey sew?.
person never chop, you dey talk of fascinator, turban! aww dey play 🥱.

Let me tell you something that my mum of blessed memory told me.She said ' even if pounded yam and soup were served inside groundnut shell, whoever will still be satisfied will be satisfied.( it's a yoruba proverb o )😄😃

Yea, it's a fact that cost of living is high now, but don't believe that everyone is so impoverished now that nobody is 'reasoning' fashion craft and accessories!

Don't have the mindset of a loser! Be OPTIMISTIC, EVEN IN THIS ECONOMY!

Moses Bliss just had his court marriage with Marie Wiseborn .

I want to ask you a question, please oblige me and answer.

This Marie Wiseborn's fascinator and dress were they produced by an angel or humans?

When were they likely to be purchased? when things were cheaper?

Biko up your game, don't quit putting in your best in your business, your own client will come even in this good times in Jesus name.

Dressmaking versus headwear production👗🎽/🎩👒

When I wanted to make this button down mandarin collar flare gown, I sat down and created the style.
Illustration was next, then pattern drafting.I transferred the pattern to my fabric then started sewing.
When I was done, I had to 'travel' some distance away from my hub to make neat button holes.
I came back and started weaving .

o boy ! two days before I finished the dress.

Can I shock you, in the event that all my fabrics are ready , I can produce ten turbans in the same space of time! what of fascinators , about six!

If my gain from one dress is 6k , you can be sure it won't be so with my headwears, I will be making at least 25k-50k from my headwears , it all depends on my marketing.

Where am I going gan with all this my oyinbo this afternoon?

Give a serious thought to headwear . production .E get gain ....💅🏿

*Wetin be my gain sef?*

A lot is your gain dear .👍🏿✊🏿🤛🏿🤜🏿🤝

Two sets of people are in Nigeria now, ;

1.Those that daily complain about the inflation and hoping that tomorrow go better

2.Those who are creatively thinking of what they can do to increase their earning power.They believe that all shall be well but they are willing to add work to their faith .

The latter keep asking God, Lord show me what to do.

1 I am in the latter group .Yes oooo💃🏿💃🏿

I have discovered that as a milliner, an excellent one for that matter, I can do the following;

1.Produce headwears for individuals in Nigeria & diaspora.

2.I can collaborate with individuals/ companies by producing for them and they fix their labels.

3.I can niche down to wholesale production .

4 .I can be a consultant to fashion brands & Individuals with influence..

5.I can teach the skill to others online across the globe and earn in foreign currencies.,,,💰💰💰

6.I can sell my products on Online stores like Jumia, Amazon etc and anyone across the globe can buy at few or large quantities.

7 I can own a physical sales outlet / factory/academy where I can reach people who want to have physical interaction with my business.

8.I can be a millinery coach for a fashion school on a part time basis .

Am asking you now dear creative mind, which category do you belong? did you see a list of eight areas and still counting where you can be relevant as a milliner? 🤔🤔🤔j

interested, kindly join our WhatsApp group where we teach fascinator production for free all throughout Sundays in February 2024 .
