TAILORING COURSE PROJECT 

 

Ekanem Orok Tailoring Course curriculum, the student projects are a central part of the program—not an optional add-on. Students are required to complete and submit their projects to qualify for the Certificate of Completion.

​

Student Project Structure

The projects are designed to take students through the complete garment-making process, from technical drawing and pattern development to sewing and finished garment construction.

​

1. Pattern-Making Projects

Students create technical drawings and interpret them into workable garment patterns for:

  • Drape Dress

  • Jumpsuit

  • Shirt, Waistcoat & Jeans

  • Jacket & Pant

  • Couture Dress

  • Wedding Dress

The objective is to demonstrate that the student can move from a garment idea or technical drawing to an accurately drafted pattern.

​

2. Sewing Projects

Students then apply their sewing and garment-construction techniques to the same broad garment categories:

  • Drape Dress

  • Jumpsuit

  • Shirt, Waistcoat & Jeans

  • Jacket & Pant

  • Couture Dress

  • Wedding Dress

  • ​

These projects allow students to demonstrate practical skills in cutting, assembly, seams, hems, closures, zippers, pockets, plackets, garment structure and finishing.

​

What Makes the Projects Different

The important feature is that the projects are application-based. Students aren't simply watching sewing demonstrations or completing isolated exercises. They progressively apply the techniques they learn to increasingly complete garments.

The course describes its purpose as developing the ability to interpret fashion ideas into wearable garments through pattern making and sewing.

​

The project categories also give students exposure to different levels of garment complexity—from relatively straightforward garments to structured tailoring and couture-level construction.

​

Certification Project

Students must complete and submit their required projects by the end of the course in order to receive their Certificate of Completion.

So, in practical terms, the student's final portfolio will demonstrate:

Design/Technical Drawing interpretation → Pattern → Fabric Cutting → Sewing → Garment Construction → Finished Garment

T

his is particularly valuable because it demonstrates technical competency, rather than simply course attendance.

​

The Bigger Educational Goal

The student projects support the core transformation of the Tailoring Course: developing the student's technical control and independence so they can create their own patterns and garments instead of depending entirely on another pattern maker or tailor.

The course is presented as a practical program focused on fit, structure, balance and professional finishing.

In short, the projects are intended to become evidence of what the student can actually make, and can potentially form the foundation of a student's tailoring/fashion portfolio.
