Kimono Robe

Led by Jayne Vetter

This personalized garment begins when you choose the perfect fabric, make desired pattern alterations and sew together utilizing professional quality techniques. So why not make a Kimono Robe for yourself, a loved one or the whole family.

This class (three, 3-hour sessions) utilizes the Kimono Robe pattern from PALMER/PLETSCH. This unisex pattern for teens to adults comes in five sizes and is designed for beginning sewists (Advanced Beginner).

Jayne will teach you how to make this robe with or without the use of a Serger. Bring your sewing machine in good working order or use a classroom model. Learn to apply knit sewing techniques; use sewing machine stitches to replicate the commercial serged seam, use a twin needle on your sewing machine to topstitch or use a store Serger/Coverstitch to finish & stabilize raw edges and topstitch.

• Day 1: Trace pattern, make desired pattern alterations, cut out fabric.
• Day 2: Sew pockets, belt, belt loops & shoulder seams.
