    Pattern Cutting Tutor

    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..”
