Hello Everyone
I am a person that so much believes in attaining skills and business, this is why for me even if the world doesn't have internet again, I can still very much thrive in a world without internet.
So I have a lot of skills, but two stands out, my singing skills and Tailoring and sewing but today, I would be talking majorly on Tailoring.
As someone who's passionate about getting some skills set and handling business, I went for a vocational training that was hosted by Government of Lagos state.
Out of all the various skill acquisition that is there in the curriculum of the school then, I chose to learn fashion design this is because dressing and sewing my own clothes is a good thing to me, I feel satisfied and happy whenever my clothes made by me.
I learnt this skill only for a year, from 2013 to 2014.
I've often wondered how my skills would serve me in a world without the internet. Would I be able to make a living? Would I be able to connect with others? The answer is yes, and here is why:
First of all Tailoring is My Self-Sufficiency
When the internet's down, I can still create and repair my own clothing and textiles. This self-sufficiency gives me a sense of freedom and independence. I can Make my own clothes, With my tailoring skills, I can create garments that fit me perfectly and reflect my personal style. I can extend the life of my existing clothing by repairing and maintaining them, reducing waste and saving resources.
In a world without the internet, my tailoring skills become a valuable asset. I can create some garments for others, providing a unique service that can be exchanged for goods or services.
I can barter my tailoring skills with others, exchanging my services for things I need or want.
As a tailor, I'm not just creating clothes , I'm building relationships.I can meet new people and build a network of clients and collaborators who appreciate my skills.
I can teach others about tailoring, sharing my expertise and helping to build a stronger, more self-sufficient community.
I still remember when we were still in the Vocational classroom.
My tailoring skills have made practical applications beyond just making clothes. I can:
Upholster and restore textiles*: I can repair and restore furniture, carpets, and other textiles, giving new life to old and worn-out items.
By creating and repairing my own clothing and textiles, I can reduce my environmental impact and live more sustainably.
In conclusion:
In a world without the internet, my tailoring skills are a lifeline. They give me the freedom to be self-sufficient, connect with others, and create new opportunities for myself. I'm excited to see where my skills take me!
