This project can be taken right after the Fabrics & Sewing Basics Class. It is an easy, but complex enough project if you haven't sewn any clothing before. The project is zero waste, which means there will be no cutting leftovers (or very few) from the fabric we will use and the pattern can be used as a base for many design variations including tops, dresses and jackets.

• how to read and work with a simple zero waste pattern;

• how to easily replicate the pattern by yourself at home;

• how to plan your cutting for the best use of fabric;

• techniques for a professional look when working with geometric shapes;

• how to finish necklines/blouse openings;

• how to use the most common technique for finishing clothes’ bottom (also known as hem) to obtain your desired style;

You will take home

• a timeless kimono-inspired piece in a flexible size;

• an easy method to create the pattern yourself at home in a few minutes;

• a PDF with sewing instructions to help you recreate the kimono at home in different sizes and design variations;

• a set of techniques useful for sewing other simple projects at home (robes, ponchos, simple jackets);

• a professional picture with you wearing your freshly made kimono.
