Oshi Fashion and Accessories

One of the deliveries of the week 👌✅

Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to this week. 👇🏽🧵

It’s been a productive week at the studio—from guiding our summer class students through their sewing journey to cutting, stitching, fitting and delivering beautiful bespoke pieces for our clients. ✂️✨

Our students’ project was hand-stitched using different hand-stitching methods they were taught in class, and they put in so much effort throughout the process. They were also creative enough to add a structured bow detail to the skirt, giving the outfit their own special touch. 🎀

Their hard work, patience, creativity and passion throughout the project were truly impressive. ❤️

Different projects, different stages, but one goal: learning, creating and delivering quality work.

Which caught your attention the most: students’ work or bespoke pieces? 👇🏽

Welcome to another exciting tutorial Tuesday.

If you are new to pattern drafting and garment construction, you might run into a common mystery: a side bust dart that looks way too big and chunky.

While there is no official law, the general rule in sewing is that a single side bust dart should not be wider than 2 to 2.5 inches (5 to 6.4 cm).

If your dart gets wider than that, it becomes incredibly bulky, hard to press flat, and makes the fabric poke out like a pointy cone instead of curving smoothly over your chest.

When a dart gets too big, experienced pattern drafters use these 3 simple tricks to fix it. 👇

I once had a student that said, "As much as I love sewing, I hate ironing."

Let's be sincere, sewing isn't just sitting at a machine. 🧵 It is a constant cycle of stitch, press, stitch, press. If you skip the iron, your clothes will look bunchy, messy, and cheap—no matter how straight your stitches are. You cannot sew well without pressing.

Be honest: How often do you actually get up to iron while making a garment? 👇

3 simple goals to set in August to transform your sewing skills as a beginner👇

One of the biggest fears when you are just starting out in fashion design is cutting into your nice fabric and ruining it, especially for "fancy" designs like this twist-front dress.

The secret to overcoming that fear is doing the work on paper first. This technique is called draping on the flat.

By playing with your design on paper (slashing it open to create folds), you can see exactly how the dress will look before your scissors ever touch your fabric.

It takes away the guesswork and saves your materials!👇

What is the number one design you've been dying to make but are too scared to cut the fabric for? Let me know below and let's conquer it together.
