Video: How to draft a kimono sleeve pattern!
Afternoon Reader!
It's Sunday, which would usually be 'vlog day' but having spent time this week reviewing stats, it looks like most peeps aren't that interested in my vlog style content... so today I've put that aside and instead I'm teaching you how to draft a kimono sleeve pattern - sort of! 😉
The reason I say sort of is that the kimono sleeve isn't a "sleeve" pattern, it actually incorporates the bodice front and back too, so you'll learn which pattern blocks you need, and how to develop them into the kimono block. At the end of the video you'll see a 1/2 scale toile which fits my 1/2 size dress form Hilda rather well.. and later this week I'll be sharing the 'kimono style' item I made for myself.
Do let me know whether you enjoy this pattern making tutorial. I did a shout out over on my Insta a few days ago and was given some great ideas for future pattern making tutorial, but if you have something you'd like to see, let me know in the comments of the video!
I am finishing up the complimentary tutorial on the blog with the photos, but frankly it's too hot and I can't handle it inside, so that will be available by tomorrow evening.
Have a fab Sunday - I am currently melting and thinking about an ice cold bath... slightly too extreme perhaps?

Evening Reader! I finally finished getting the kimono sleeve pattern tutorial up on the website, so am sending it now. The next video will be Thursday - the heatwave is STILL happening here despite assurances it would be cooler this week, so I'm staying out of the sewing room until the temperature drops. Hope that you're doing ok? See you Thursday! Eve / The Creative Curator www.thecreativecurator.com Join my Patreon here if you'd like more personal support from me with your Sewing, Pattern...
