SEw your own Make Kimono Style Robe or cover up – a minimal waste pattern

Spend the day sewing a beautiful, wearable garment you’ll reach for all summer long — and choose the fabric that suits your style.

We have designed a gorgeous simple summer cover up which pairs perfectly with summer trousers or a great cover up for the beach.

With expert tuition in a relaxed and supportive environment, you’ll be guided step-by-step through measuring, cutting and constructing your garment — building your confidence with drapey fabrics and professional finishing techniques along the way.

We will choose the length based on the amount of fabric you have. Using almost the whole piece of fabric to create this robe.
