Here are some of my happy clients. I love making made to measure clothing. I think it's a shame that sewing is no longer taught in schools. I was lucky enough to learn to sew from my mum at such a young age that I can't remember having to learn.
Our clients come to us in a variety of ways. Some people arrive with a picture of what they would like in a magazine, a photo from pinterest, 3 pictures they would like to put together, a sketch in a notebook, a description of what they like that I will draw or they will choose one of my designs but maybe bring their own fabric or they will choose one of ours.
So I hope that you can see that what ever it is that you would like to have made, we can do. just drop me message, but in the meantime enjoy what others have had made.
A lovely client from Australia was working in Ghana and used to walk past our Kokolemle shop in Accra. when her parents came to visit her father had a pair of cotton print Kente cloth shorts. this is the photo he sent me from Adelaide Australia where they live.
The lovely Akua, my name sake wearing an outfit we made. It's a fitted bustier top tucked into extra wide leg trousers. Akua came with a picture on pinterest for the shape, but she wanted the top to be like a dress we made for her daughter earlier in the year. By the end of the process we ended up with something completely different to the original picture of a dress that she brought.
This African print is lovely. the muted colours harp back to the 1930's to 60s when African prints wear not as bright as we see them now. \this butterfly print has been used for decades. It's lovely to see it modernised like this.
Shiki in a 1950's inspired full skirted midi dress. This is a dress that really suits most shapes. It works well to give the appearance of an hour glass figure by showing off the waist. Shiki came to us with a piece of her grandmother's Vilisco print cotton. This print is an old print that appears in differnt sizes and the rough translation from Twi Asante to English is 'the yam plant'
