3 Simple Ways To Tie A Scarf
Square Knot: Fold Your favorite square scarf into a triangle. Flip one end over the other. Take the upper end of the scarf around and behind the other. Pull through and tighten into a knot. This can be worn front, back, or side & will bring pizzazz to any look.
Ascot: Another option for a square scarf is to fold it half. Place around your neck then flip the ends over each other. You can either leave the ends out or tuck them into a V-neck shirt or sweater. If you are going for a regal look this style can be worn with a blazer.
Wrap: For a sophisticated look, place an oversize square or oblong scarf around your shoulders or just below. Throw one end over a shoulder or flip the ends over each other. You can wear it with your favorite dress like a shawl. Another popular style in the winter is to wear it on top of a turtleneck.

Tshililo Eunice Mugabi is a patternmaker running her own clothing company. “My interest in patternmaking started when I was young. My mom was a seamstress and I got interested in what she was doing. From Grade 5 onwards, I was making my own clothes, from skirts to tops. They were top of the range and everybody loved them.”
Eunice works an average eight-hour day, from 08:00 to 16:30. “An average day is very busy, as I have so many clients that I look after,” she smiles. “We have lots of deadlines, so what I do on an average day is make patterns for samples for clients and, once that is approved by the client, then I need to make the patterns for the client’s orders. I will also renew old patterns, the ones we use regularly, design new patterns and obviously cut them out.”

“A diploma in fashion design, textile design, or graphic design would really help to succeed in this business, but if a person has enough passion and determination, anything is possible – even without a formal education. Pattern construction, sewing and other skills that are needed can be learnt quite easily, but without a passion, it is unlikely that you will succeed. It has been said at least a trillion times before: ‘Live your passion, and the money will follow.’ Why then, do so few people listen to that advice? Do not be a jack-of-all-trades. Become a master of one – whatever you are passionate about – and then you can play around with other ‘smaller’ ideas.”
“I love my career, because there is so much more that I can still do, and things I can make – shoes, belts jewellery, clothing – there is no limit to my imagination and creativity. I also get to experience some very entertaining moments with some of my more eccentric clients – like the time I was designing an outfit and handbag for a gay client of mine. He came to my house for a fitting and I caught him trying on a few of my personal items of clothing,” she laughs. “I found it very amusing. You get to meet some very interesting people in this industry!”
Herman Mashaba, founder of the well-known Black Like Me products, began his career as a hair product sales representative. In 1985, his burning ambition to develop his career got the better of him and he borrowed some money to start his own business. He started manufacturing hair products from a township that lies to the north of Pretoria, and that was where Black Like Me began. 
“Typical activities of a product consultant include training salon workers about the specific product or brand, setting up consumer campaigns, handling media liaison, coordinating photographic shoots, creating write-ups for print media, and conducting presentations when applicable, such as at launches. Product consultants are also often expected to train students at college level, and train future trainers.”
Having been through four pregnancies myself, I wince at the idea of being a pregnant hairdresser. I can’t imagine standing on my feet all day while carrying the extra weight. But Surieta Pillman seems to do it with ease, and with a smile on her face too! She took some time off from her busy schedule (just a few days before going on maternity leave) to tell us about her career.
You need to be a qualified hairdresser, with experience in styling and colouring hair. Surieta uses Great Lengths hair extensions, which are made from 100% natural human hair of the highest quality. With hair extensions, you can change the length and thickness of your hair, and still perm, highlight and colour it. “Hairdressers who use Great Length extensions have to complete a two-day training course through the company,” says Surieta. To start a career in this line, you could apply for an apprenticeship at Gary Rom Hairdressing (GRH), which can be anything from six to 36 months – this will depend on any previous hairdressing experience, previous hairdressing studies, and your eagerness to learn. After qualifying, GRH will help you to promote yourself and build a client base, as well as assist you in establishing a career plan.
