So it's that time of the year again for Emua Sewing class. Based on last year's class, we made a couple of changes for this year. So its more convenient and flexible for everybody.
Remember this sewing class does not replace any formal education. It is meant to prepare you; if you are interested in a career in fashion design or just need the basic skills for personal use. It will also brush up your sewing skills if you already know how to sew.
We would be running the class from Monday to Saturday (12pm to 7pm). You can choose any 2 days and must be willing to dedicate 4 hours each day for the class.
Fee - $70
Location - Don mill and Eglington
Deadline - January 31st, 2012
Start Date: Feb 6th, 2012
End Date: April 14th, 2012
You will be provided with basic sewing materials (tape, scissors, chalk, needles etc). You will be required to bring your own fabrics, zips, interface, lining etc.
I will be posting up applications and information kit on the website. www.emuafashions.com and a link to pay online. Also you can pay through email money transfer (emuafashions@gmail.com) or in person.
Finally, I just started this mini craft course on my youtube channel. This is my first video.

Photoshoot in Nigeria
As most of you already know, I was out of the country for 3 months. During this time I took the opportunity to expand my business to the Nigerian market. I had the opportunity to participate in a couple of shows in Nigeria, Design and produce my spring/summer 2012 collection (coming soon) and shoot an ad campaign for the collection. Below are the behind the scene pictures.
In Nigeria we get only two seasons: Raining season (when it obviously rains) and dry season (absolutely no rain). I was fortunate to be there during the dry season and there was this dry, dusty, sunny, brown feel. I took my inspiration for this collection directly from this feel. My main fabric was this embroidered taffeta that was dyed and waxed to resemble a reptile skin (Just a side note - reptiles are mainly found in hot dry regions).
