Sewing Workshop: Sew Your Own Kimono-Style Robe



5 hours Class size 1 to 4 guests       £79 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

This practical sewing course is for people who want to move from small sewing projects to a real wearable garment. During the workshop, you will make a relaxed kimono-style robe with wide sleeves, a fabric belt, and a clean fabric finish.
The robe has an easy, loose shape, which makes it a good first garment project after learning the basics of machine sewing. You will work with a prepared pattern, cut your fabric, sew the main seams, finish the raw edges, attach the front band, make the belt, and learn how pressing changes the final look of the garment.
The project is a contemporary robe inspired by kimono-style shapes: loose, comfortable, elegant, and easy to adapt with different fabrics. Depending on the fabric choice, it can work as a house robe, summer cover-up, light layering piece, or a simple statement garment.
By the end of the class, you will understand how to approach a simple garment project from start to finish and will take home your finished kimono-style robe.
What you'll get
A finished kimono-style robe, made during the workshop, and practical experience in sewing a simple wearable garment from start to finish.
Knowledge required
Students who can already thread and use a sewing machine, even at a basic level, will find this course a good next step after an introductory sewing class.
What to bring
The exact amount of fabric depends on your measurements. After booking, we will contact you to confirm the measurements and advise you on how much fabric to buy.
