Kudos to all the tailors here in the house. Our job is not easy at all.

To the main reason for this thread, I really need your advice everyone. I just completed my service last yr October and now I want to fully pursue my passion. I have the skills and talents necessary to open a fashion house of my own but I have no knowledge of how to run a fashion business successfully (I didn't learn from a tailoring shop). I want to get a job as a tailor in order to have that experience, is it possible to get a Tailoring job of #60, 000 and above monthly?

Another issue to me is how to sew quickly, I love taking my time to sew because I hate making mistakes. I can only sew one cloth in a day, sometimes a day and half, depending on the style. How can I overcome this?

Please drop your opinions. Thank you

Even in lekki, highest they pay is 40k/month, and you must be fast.

I sew for men, i can make five trousers or more a day, for the kaftan top at least three depends on the style tho, then iron another day unless i will be working all night, the main issue i have is getting the job, they don't really request for tailors that sew men's attire.

Men's attire is d simplest to sew..A proffessional tailor can sew a simple trouser and top as many as possible in a day bcoz it doesn't require much attachments unlike women's clothing which involves a lot of things like linen,materials ,pearls etc..even at dat,men's clothing is quite expensive compared to women's own. Some men prefer men tailors cos of gender expression..dey believe men understands men..whereas there r women tailors dat r very good in making men's clothing dan male tailors sef and vice-versa.
Sewing is simple and wide depending on how passionate u are abt it..but my advice is dat u should go for more training in order to work as a stylist with high pay..with dat u get to work with pay and also learn more..cos if u r going with little or no experience,u might just be treated as an ordinary apprentice and instead of being paid,u would be d one to do d payment.
