About me~
It's a new year and I thought I introduce myself here, since I haven't done that before.
I don't know how to do these; should I get serious, funny, tell you my history, how old I am๐.... to many things to talk about, I hope I don't write an epistle, ok๐
ยฐMy name is Nazareth a.k.a
Aunty Tailor!! I'm a Igbo Nigerian, living in Lagos Nigeria. I'm a self taught artist, part time fashion illustrator and fashion designer.
ยฐI remember, as a kid I was always drawing lions and any thing I could till one day I came across the super model Kate Moss from a thrift vouge magazine I had bought and since then, fashion art has been part of me.... but then fashion work was not in sight.
ยฐAlthough I was learning how to sew for the sake of it or was it because daddy's old sewing machine was enticing ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
ยฐI remember, I was always happy useing leftover fabric from my big sis work to make clothes for my neighbor's children as gift. My boss noticed that part of me and always give little kids clothes to sew.๐
ยฐAs year went by I struggle to find what to do with myself till one day I realized that it has always been me and little children's clothes all this while;๐ค such inner peace when you do what you love.
ยฐAnd that's how OBASI NAZARETH was born.
๐งต My brand is focused on making clothing for kids; each design is unique as they are made from both existing and leftover fabrics in order to curb fabric waste (that's a story for another day)
So here is some highlight of how all this came together. have a lovely day๐
