Hello guys, happy new week. Still my take on aso ebi prices. Aso ebi makes an event more beautiful and colourful but as we discussed in the previous post, here are some points i think brides to be and guests should consider. Let me state here that it is not compulsory you sell aso ebi neither is it compulsory your friends or family buy. it is a choice right? Cool. To choose your fabric and prices, brides to be should consider the buyer. We all have  that friend, cousin/ family member that is not bouyant financially. So i will say know your circle. * Brides, consider the pocket of your friends and family . If you know it will affect your pocket or bank account for some time,Aunty dont buy it is not by force. * Dont hike prices so much that the gain incurred from the sales can pay for your wedding. Sister guest, if you know your way to eko market buy the type or colour and use funds left to buy them a lovely gift. *Dont hate on that friend or family that says she has a ...

 Hmmmmnnn... This is a very intresting topic i must say. As a yoruba girl. The word aso ebi means Cloths for Family i.e something that will distinguish family from visitors . Making the family members both nuclear and extended stand out in any ocassion. Suddenly, things changed and it became a general name for fabric sold out to people to wear to events. Weddings, Burial,house warming,birthday,Shop openings,Suprise parties and so on... There is nothing wrong with this though but the price tag on it is what boders me. Brides to be,or host of events and their families should always consider and remember people buy these fabric to show them they love them and are ready to celebrate with them or to be identified with them and not to put them in unnecessary expenses. This post is focusing majorly on brides to be so i will be dropping few points here alongside factors to consider when choosing or putting a price tag on aso ebi. As stated earlier, i personally have no issue with...

Hello lovelies, How was your weekend? Mine was very stressfull. Had orders here and there but am happy to be back. Let me take you on ride of the making of Oha soup. One of my favourite native soup. Ingredients. Cocoyam Oha leaves Uziza leaves Ogiri Red bell pepper (tatashey) Habanero pepper/scotch bonnet (rodo) Palm oil Meat of choice (Goat/Cow/ assorted Stock fish Dry fish Grinded crayfish Seasoning cube Smoked fish Salt to taste   Wash and boil coco yam till it is very soft ( Do not add salt. Perboil meat and stock fish with seasoning. Do not add excess water while perboiling. Add blended tatashey and rodo when meat is tender. Add dried fish and palmoil  in the pepper stock and leave for 15 minutes so palm oil would have cooked with the stock. Add ogiri and leave to dissolve. Peel back of boiled cocoyam pound and add in morsels to meat stock like when making egusi balls. Then cover stock for cocoyam to dissolve. Add blended crayfish....

Hello Everyone.... Our post for this week should have come in earlier, apologies for the delay. Today i am going to take you through how to make akara. Ingredients. Beans ( brown beans) Rodo (habanero pepper) Tatashe (red bell pepper) Onions Salt Vegetable Oil Do you know there are two methods of removing the skin of the beans? You have the hand method and blender method. Hand method is when you soak the beans and start rubbing them between your hands to peel skin  after which you rinse of the shaft and get ready for blending. If you soak the beans for long it makes it more difficult to peel skin therefore, it is advisable to peel off by rubbing beans between your palm once it is soaked . Blender method is when you put the beans and add  lil water in the blender for like 3 to 5 mins and turn it on. This wouldnt blend the beans yet. It will peel off the skin . You can go ahead to seive and remove shafts from beans. *The Making * Blend peeled beans ...

I was quite pleased when i made my first pivot as long as you dont turn my skirt and top upside down to examine the stiches it looks lovely. The class was to get started at 8:00am and to close by 6:00pm but i was seated before 8:00am ready and eager to learn and of course sew but i ended up closing 9:30 pm instead. Yes you can sew in a day. We were taught how to thread a machine , insert bobbin,step on the pedal of the machine like you are driving and other basis needed. We started off by learning how to sew a gathered skirt. Some were fast to learn while some of us did not find it easy, already stressed and looking wornout. She gave us fingerfoods and  juice to calm our nerves so as to enhance learning. Most people were done with their skirt but i was left still battling with my zip and some other parts. I am a fast learner but the sewing class proved other wise . Fastforward to making the top which was supposed to be an off shoulder with gathered drape which took me extra...
