Design
The Basic Kimono is a true all-rounder with its simultaneously elegant fabric and loose fit. It offers the perfect solution between the sophistication of a blazer and the comfort of a cardigan. The pattern for the kimono is available in sizes XS-XXXL or customized to your measurements. How about a whole DIY suit? Complete the look with the Leslie Pants and Noella Blouse.
You want the perfect fit?
There is nothing more frustrating than when a homemade garment ends up fitting poorly. That’s over now! Because when you take the time to sew a garment yourself, you deserve it to be perfect. That’s why our sewing patterns are now also available “Customized to your measurements”. How does it work? Order the sewing pattern “Customized to your measurements”, measure yourself according to our instructions and enter your current measurements in our form. Our designers then construct your individual pattern. You will receive it within 1 to maximum 2 weeks after filling out the form as paper pattern or digital pattern by email and can start sewing without fear that your garment will not fit in the end as expected.
