Eloho Erese

My name is Eloho Erese.I am originally from Nigeria but I am now based in the UK.I am a wife and mother to 4 sons.I have been sewing for over 3 decades now and got some formal training from Ginani Fashion Academy which has really helped my journey as a fashionpreneur.I provide bespoke tailoring services for women,and also s sewing tutor who recently got some CAD training through Ginani Fashion Academy..

Before now,I have always created my sewing patterns manually and this has always proven to be time consuming and can be very energy draining to be honest.After being introduced to CAD training, I have seen the massive impact it will make in my business.I can see that it will help drastically in cutting down my production time and I will be able to employ hands being confident that the patterns created through the CAD will be without error,this I will struggle with if I continue to create my patterns manually.

It will also provide me the opportunity to train others in the use of the software which will give me the chance to create job opportunities around me.

I am.working towards producing ready to wear pieces and being able to create my patterns in different sizes using the Patternmaker Software will be a game changer for me no doubt.

I am really looking forward to being a recipient of this grant as it would give me a great competitive edge over other designers still creating their patterns manually.

I would also love to create digital patterns that I will be able to create in sizes both for sale and to be used in tutoring my students.

For the short time I have used Patternmaker I must confess that it has made me more efficient,and I have had more time for my family due to the elimination of the manual labour of pattern drafting.

I currently use Professional studio which I managed to purchase after undergoing the CAD training but would really love to have the full version that will allow me to create my patterns in different sizes and also do so much more……this would really be a dream come true for me.
