Meet your Instructor
Hi there.
My name is Tobilola.
If you have been struggling to understand how to draft patterns, let me assure you that you are in the right place.
I call myself a 'Pattern whisperer' and I tell my students that I learn all the technical parts of Flat Pattern cutting just so that I can express it in a simple and easy-to-understand format.
I didn't start out in life thinking I was going to be a dressmaker.
While planning a career change, I decided to learn dressmaking as a side hustle but as time went on, I realized I had an intense passion for pattern-making, so I took it on full-time.
