The kimono sleeve is one of the most beautiful and forgiving sleeve constructions in pattern drafting — and it's more accessible than you think.

I just launched the Kimono Sleeve Bootcamp, a structured course that takes you from zero drafting experience to a completed, fitted kimono sleeve pattern.

What You'll Learn

• How to take accurate body measurements for sleeve drafting

• Drafting a bodice block from scratch

• The extension curve technique — the core method behind every kimono sleeve

• Underarm ease calculations and gusset options for real-world comfort

• Seam allowances, notches, and test muslin fitting

Who This Is For

• Sewists who want to move beyond commercial patterns

• Fashion students looking for structured drafting practice

• Anyone curious about how kimono sleeves actually work

18 lessons. 5 chapters. Certificate on completion.

The bootcamp includes a Student Lounge for questions and an Updates & Resources feed so you never miss a thing.
