Learning isn't difficult,like it was stated earlier,its gt to do wiv creativity and also ur passion.............ur passion is very important as this will make u stay and try harder rather dn give up when u feel u r nt getting it ryt .............it takes as long as u want........basically,all u need Is d basics then ur creativity cums in2 play..............and lastly,like my boss will say,any error made by a designer is a fashion statement,so feel free and have 4n

Pros:
make lovely dresses,make people happy, make money. ..
Cons:
disappointing people and Lying!

No vex oh

Thanks everyone for your responses. Another question is should i get a sewing machine as soon as i start the training so as to engage myself in private practice at home.

sure u can....so u can practice during ur leisure time!

The rate at which u'll learn depends on U and the person you are learning from. Here in Lagos, there are ogas (especially if you are learnin from a yoruba woman) who will expect you to cook, wash and run errands for them. In this condition, it'll take you longer period of time to learn.
Another problem is learning from some1 who doesn't get much jobs, in this case u'll have limited experience to work with.
You have to be patient and creative if you want to be a fashion designer and yes, you can get a machine as soon as you start learning, if you can't, brown paper, hand needle and thread will do it for you until you can get your machine.


I had to learn how to sew after NYSC, this was after I searched for job for a whole year and still counting.......
