Thank you ma

Thank you efosa. I have learnt alot and still learning from you. You have helped me alot. am a novice in sewing but u changed my status. more grease to ur elbow. Here is one of my works

tushwitch:
my question is, does the folding determine how full the skirt would be?..... for e.g skater skirts, how many times would it be folded?...4?,5?,6?

Yes and no.you can fold into 2.4 or 6 and still cut put a very small flare

This is why i said no.actually the amount of fabric you have and want to use for the flear will determine how full or small the flare will be.

@toluh,
Fold your fabric on bias(triangular shape) measure your neck&armhole, then for d high&low, from d middle left,cut as low as u would want it to be. See rough sketch attached

You will cut a half circle by folding your fabric just once. Then join the sides. Cutting a full circle is actually too full for this style. Depends on your taste though. You will have a longer length this way. You need about 3-3.5 yards.

How come you guys don't discuss how to sew/make male attires here?

Madam Val, please when next are you having a workshop?

Madam Val, please when next are you having a workshop?

Really so you would like to attend? That would be great. Call 08096577157.its usually the last Friday of every month.

In the picture above we made the students do a talk show .We made them project into the feature to see them selves as designers ,doing fashion shows all over the world. From Lagos to Paris, London fashion week, New York fashion show, Mercedes fashion week etc.

Still make believe o. Now they are called on to give an interview to tell us the audience (fellow students) what they have been up to lately .

It was so much fun and we all enjoyed it as if It were real. I was so trilled at the stuffs they came up with.

The good thing about this exercise is that it prepares the students for what's to come when they become designers.they may be called on at any time to give interviews so they would be ready for it. At Valisimo fashion school we are more interested in developing not just sewing skills but brand management in our students.

When you stop seeing it as just a cut and sew business then the dream of becoming a popular designer will become a quick reality.
