    Pattern Cutter

    I'm Monisola Omotoso.

    I teach pattern-cutting and draping to budding pattern cutters, University students and fashion design business owners in a fun and interactive way. And there are so many ways to engage – with 1-2-1 tuition, through my kits that remove the technical challenges, and my step-by-step videos that deliver clear instructions. I also deliver draping/pattern cutting workshops that are stimulating and enjoyable, whatever your level of skill. After decades spent as a fashion creative, I'm passionate about teaching and sharing everything I've learned so far.

  • Introducing my book

    Wearable Art

  • With Pattern Cutting Deconstructed: Wearable Art, fashion designer and educator Monisola Omotoso offers an exciting alternative approach to developing patterns and draping on the dress form.

    "It’s an excellent resource for students, breaking down foundational pattern cutting techniques in a way that clearly demonstrates how 2D patterns can be manipulated to create innovative 3D shapes on the body. The step-by-step visuals and explanations make complex ideas accessible, and the book’s emphasis on exploration and creative problem-solving really stands out. I also appreciate how the book draws inspiration from art and culture, encouraging students to look beyond fashion for ideas in silhouette and construction."

    “Who doesn’t want that immersive experience? It reminds me of Mary Poppins - there’s a scene where they jump into a picture and it just transitions from the real world into animation - and it’s beautiful.

    That’s what I imagine. That experience of just entering into the art,

    embodying it. It’s magical”
