Our sewing students
Kimonos, tops and one of a kind pieces
Vintage quilts, naturally dyed fabrics and upcycled sheets, turned into clothes they love to wear.
Sunflower Kimono Top
Toni
Toni works with amazing vintage kantha quilts and fabrics, and repurposed this beautiful kantha piece into the most unique kimono-inspired top, with a matching crossbody bag! See her work on Instagram and in her Etsy store.
“Your tutorials were so easy to understand. Fully recommend this course! Super fun. Videos are wonderful.”
Sunflower Kimono Top
Elia
“I finished my kimono! Thanks for inspiring me to sew this comfortable piece. I will be making another kimono soon. It is a great layering garment! Thanks for creating this pattern and course!”
Sunflower Kimono Top
Angelique
An experienced quilter, Angelique combines minimal waste sewing techniques with her creative skills to make one of a kind custom kimonos. See her kimonos for sale.
“This is a great pattern for a beginner sewer because every step is easy to follow. I added pockets to mine and cut out the XL, and it fits perfectly.”
Sunflower Kimono Top
Elisha
“I am so happy with my top! I never thought I’d have the confidence or skill to make something from scratch. This pattern was so easy to follow and gave me the confidence to try other things. I’m now super excited to see what else I could make!”
Sunflower Kimono Top
Claire
Claire made a very unique Sunflower Top from her own handmade quilted fabrics, using the pattern as a canvas for her creativity. See more of her work.
“I had never made a garment from beginning to end using a pattern. It was really easy following your instructions, and even adding my own dyed fabric and patch pocket was made simple. I loved it so much I’ve ordered new fabric to make another one!”
Sunflower Kimono Top + Natural Dyeing
Lucy
Lucy naturally dyed the gorgeous pattern on her fabric first, then used the Sunflower Minimal Waste Pattern to sew this beautiful kimono-inspired top. See her work.
“Super easy to follow along with the videos and written content. I loved using the design workbook too. I try to be as sustainable as possible, so I cut this fabric from a hemp sheet set!”
Sunflower Kimono Top
Gloria
Gloria sews for the joy of it, and has made three different versions of the Sunflower Minimal Waste Top. I love them all!
“The video tutorials were clear and well demonstrated, easier than expected! I have done three tops so far!”

Sew clothes you’ll love wearing
You don’t need years of sewing experience. You need a pattern that wastes almost nothing, clear video lessons, and a teacher who shows you every step, from printing the pattern to the final hem.
