Yes we were!  Actually to be honest, this is the 2nd week we have been live on both Facebook and Instagram.  I haven’t posted the one that happened 2 weeks ago.  I’ll do that sometime this week.  

Why did we decide on live feeds?!  Well we realized people may not be able to tune into the show on 98.9 Kiss FM perhaps because of work or the fact that they may be outside Lagos so we brought the show to them through other means!  And I kid you not, the response has been great!  So soon enough, we will also be live on Youtube once I get the settings right!  πŸ˜€ 

SO what did we discuss last week?!

CREATIVITY!!!!

Work from @ms_ellysha, a student in the last stream…

So we were talking about the upcoming course this month at Martwayne – the Design, Fashion Illustration & Computer-Aided Design Course.   It is not news that we had some great courses coming up and this one has been one of our most popular Courses.  

Last week, we went live again on Facebook showcasing a student’s work as she was defending her project based on the theme “Back to the Future” and what she presented was incredible!  The picture above was part of her capsule collection  I was blown away!  The story behind the designs, the concept, the actual designs all from the theme “Back to the Future” was incredible.  And the best part is, she learnt everything FROM SCRATCH!  Here is the actual storyboard:


As I have said several times int he past, fashion goes beyond sewing.  There is nothing that gives a designer more joy than seeing his/her designs which they developed from scratch on a customer.  That really is what makes you a fashion designer and sets you apart from the rest!  And that is what this course teaches.    

About the Course:

It was developed to build your inner creativity.  If you love fashion – which we know you do… and you want to build on that talent, then this Course is for you!  It is literally 3 courses in 1 and it is packed full of what will definitely turn you into a pro!  We teach FROM SCRATCH so don’t worry if you can’t draw or anything like that.  That is what the Course is for!

The 3 parts to the Course are as follows:

Part 1:  Concept Development (Developing a Fashion Collection) & Portfolio Presentation
Part 2:  Manual Illustration
Part 3:  Digital Illustration using CAD

Options Available:

There is a weekend option for busy professionals which starts on the 15th of July (Saturdays only from 10am – 6pm) and a weekday option which starts on the 18th of July,  2017 (Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10am – 2pm).

There are also different variants to the course which you can opt for based on your time, finances and level of skill:

Option 1:  Full Course – N80,000
Option 2:  Parts 2 & 3 only – N65,000
Option 3:  a)  Part 2 OR b)  Part 3 only – N50,000
Option 4:  a)  Parts 1 & 2 only OR b)  Parts 1 & 3 only – N60,000
Option 5:  Part 1 only – N35,000

So if, for example, you draw very well but have difficulty coming up with your own designs and are fed up of copying people’s work, then you can choose Option 4b i.e. Parts 1 & 3 only.

All fees include your training materials and drawing kits where applicable but for the CAD options, you need your tablet. 

Duration is 8 weeks for the full course.  The other options have their own timetables as well but all fall within the 8 weeks depending on if you are running the weekday or the weekend option.

How to Register:

Registration is easy!  Simply pay the fees of your choice by bank or online transfer into Martwayne Limited, 023 710 3843 at any GTBank branch.

This picture made me laugh when I saw it!  But yes!  We tailors now use laptops!  πŸ˜€ I spoke about it on our radio show on 98.9 Kiss FM on Friday and you should watch it!  I tell you this is the way to go!

Ok… so I realized that whilst promoting this Course (and I must confess, I don’t think I really promoted it that much), I never really spoke about the benefits of the Course.  So you are probably thinking… “why go digital when I can use my pencil and paper” right?

Ok… check out this scenario…

Example of a Digital Pattern and the Sewn Outfit



You make clothes for people and draft your patterns manually.  Imagine if you could do this on the system just once!  And next time someone else comes, you input their measurements and voila, the pattern comes out in their own size!

OR you run an in-house clothing production unit creating clothes in standard sizes.  Oh… imagine the torture of having to grade each pattern one by one when with just a few strokes, your work is done!

I can safely speak for myself when I say I have to be physically and psychologically prepared for pattern-making!  Having to search for paper, pencils, erasers and all what not or WORSE discover that I am out of paper is like the worst thing!  But now… you can simply work on your dining table in front of the TV.  Life does not have to be so tough anymore! πŸ˜€

And this is just a SNAP SHOT of what this course has to offer!  You can work across international boundaries as well.  I have 2 people who have reached out to me asking me to create patterns for them.  So this is you starting a new career as a pattern maker! 

Okies so ditch the pencils and paper and switch to digital patterns on your laptop!  And save yourself the headache and backache as well!  Register for our Pattern-Making & Grading with Computer-Aided Design.  

Please click on this link to watch the video about me talking about this Course.  It starts from 1:20

SO details about the Course?!  I’ll give it to you just now!

The course begins on Tuesday 4th of July 2017 and it will hold on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am – 2pm.  It is in 2 parts:

Part 1 is the Pattern Making bit.  It lasts for 5 weeks and costs N80,000 including your training materials except, of course, your laptop.  That you need to come with.

Part 2 is the Pattern Grading bit which is where you increase or reduce in size.  This will last an extra 3 weeks and costs N40,000 if you registered for Part 1.  

If you want just this part of the Course, it will cost N50,000 and it includes your training materials.  But to be honest, this limits you to just the manual grading portion because we can’t start teaching you about the digital workspace in Part 1. Please bring your laptop.  Oh… if you use a Mac please contact us before you register.

And that’s it really!  Easy peasy!  Trust me you will love this Course!

Registration is easy!  Simply pay the fees by bank or online transfer into the Martwayne Limited 023 710 3843 account in any GTBank OR

you can simply click on any of these links to register.  It takes you to our Paystack payment portal πŸ˜€




Excellent!  This tech age is making life so much easier! πŸ˜€

Hello good people!!!  Trust you had a GREAT holiday!  Happy Eid to all our Muslim friends and family.  The LOOOONG weekend was a truly welcome one – though I must confess I did not do much resting.  I worked right through – thanks to our clothing factory.  It has been extremely overwhelming but I so cannot complain. At least the designers we have produced for are happy with our work and for that I am thankful!

Anyway…  I have not posted anything in 2 weeks so this is a double post alert πŸ˜€  



And this goes out to subscribers who will get this post in their mail.  I have missed out on some specific information about some of our Courses and lumping this together with other posts was not working out so have to do a separate post for each.  Plus we have amazing courses coming up which I also have to talk about!  I will try schedule these posts so you don’t see like 10 mails from us in one day lol!  BUT if you see more than 3 in the coming week, please don’t fret! And don’t unsubscribe either lol!  I just have to get the information out because I have been told I pass across the information a bit too late and people need to plan!  Plus I need the posts to run some other ads and since this is an RSS feed, anything I upload hits your inbox.  You will get 2 today and I’ll schedule one for tomorrow, another for Friday and the rest for next week! Please bear with me πŸ˜€  


Okies… now moving on…

Yes yes!  We were in the studio on Friday again!  Yaye!  I love being in the studio!  The 2 anchors are hilarious and it has been great fun so far!

This time we were talking about investing in yourself and of course about our Fashion Courses!  We all know education is the best form of investment and we have some juicy courses coming up!  Of course, as we do best, we also did a bit of education because you know, we are teachers at heart!

So here are the courses coming up:

–  Patternmaking & Grading with Computer-Aided Design; now starts 4th of July due to the holidays);
–  Design & Fashion Illustration with Computer-Aided Design – starts 15th & 18th of July (weekday and weekend options available) 
–  Basic Fashion Course for Children (ages 9-16) – starts 1 August; and
–  Short Course in Childrenswear – starts 27 August!

Enjoy the video!  Simply click on the link below:


We are on again this Friday!  Don’t forget to tune in to 98.9 Kiss FM Lagos.  And internet permitting, we will be live on Instagram, @martwayne, again as well. It was my first live video and I think it went really well. Hopefully the internet will behave on Friday as well!  

Okies!  Have a great day everyone!  Next Post coming right up! πŸ˜€

Cheers!

ME πŸ˜€ with Anchor Ayodele Kazeem on the left and Co-Anchor Kayode Osokoya, Business Africa 98.9 Kiss FM

Hello good people!  So we had another fab show on Business Africa last Friday.  I could really get used to this radio gig πŸ˜€ !  It was a really good one!  

So yes!  I’m sure many people working the 9-5 grind can connect to this. Or are the work hours 8-5.  Either way, I am sure there are loads of peeps out there who LOVE fashion, who are just itching to key into this passion of theirs but are clueless on how to go about it!  I know because I chat to people all the time about this.  

If you are at the same crossroads but you missed our show on Friday, you are in luck! Simply click on the link below and you’ll be right with us in the studio! πŸ˜€   


Don’t forget to share with your friends and family who need this and join us this Friday again at 10am on 98.9 Kiss FM! 

PS!

We had to postpone the start dates of the Corsetry Course and the the Patternmaking with CAD course.  The Corsetry now starts this Saturday, June 17 and the Pattern with CAD on the 27th of June.

We also have dates for our next set of Courses:

–  The Design & Illustration with CAD starts on July 15th and 18th;
