Mide's Current Apparel Academy

Yesterday, I was at the Vekeejames Funfair.

And I must admit that it was Indeed sweet, lively, and colorful.

People came out in their numbers to enjoy themselves including me.

Yes, it was a funfair but I learned a few things about sewing.

One of the highlights of the program was the opportunity to raid Vekee's closet.

We were given a raffle draw ticket in which when your number is called, you'll get to raid her closet and pick anything of choice.

Ranging from clothes, shoes, expensive hair, jewelry, etc.

The raiding was going smoothly until some set of people stormed the closet to pack things "illegally".

Like, some people went home with more than one item, while others couldn't even get just one.

Chai! People are just so funny and unpredictable 🤣.

So, back to what I learned,

From the clothes some people picked before they stormed the closet, I checked the sewing, the finishing, the materials used, and some other things.

I can say it's worth the prices she charges for her design.

Jeez!

What Vekeejames did concerning giving out her clothes, not so many Renowned designers can do that.

Because giving out those clothes means:

🌺 Sharing her sewing techniques.

🌺 Sharing her work finishing.

🌺 Giving details of the exact materials she uses.

🌺 Sharing her knowledge.

🌺 And many more.

All for free!

Ha!

Vekeejames, You too much!

All I can say is thank you for everything you did concerning the fair.

It now makes me think that if she can share all of these for free, and I gain Value, How about those who paid for Her Masterclass?

Below are some wisdom nuggets that could set you apart in the fashion and tailoring game:

🌷Make sure to take your client's accurate body measurements. This is the first step to achieving a perfect fit.

🌷Do not take jobs you know you can't deliver. Taking on more than you can handle isn't a flex; it's a recipe for disaster. Honorably decline if you know it's beyond your capacity.

🌷Don't do free work. let your friends and relatives know that business is business. let them know that your skills are your livelihood. That is the only way growth and sustainability are guaranteed.

🌷Confirm the prices of materials before sending invoices to potential and returning clients. You don't want to end up singing the loss blues. Know your costs to keep the cash flow smooth.

🌷Share testimonials and reviews from satisfied clients. This can help build Trust and credibility. Let your satisfied customers be your best marketing tool.

🌷Lastly, don't be a busy bee behind the machine just for show. Let the stress you go through in creating that masterpiece be worth it. Confidence is key—charge what you're worth and deliver top-notch service.

Remember, these aren't just tips; they're the threads that weave a success story in the fashion and tailoring world.

So go on, stitch your path to greatness!

I hope you find this helpful.
