What our students are saying:  

"Your tutorials where so easy to understand. Fully recommend this course! This is my boho kimono made from vintage KANTHA. Also there is a matching crossbody bag. Super fun. Videos are wonderful."

— Toni - from: yummy linen⭐⭐⭐

"This is a great pattern for a beginner sewer because they made every step easy to follow. The pattern was very easy to understand, and is very adaptable. I added pockets to mine and cut out the XL—it fits perfectly.

There were so many videos taking you through every step, how to print out the pattern, assemble the pieces, and sew the kimono top.

Sustainability is very important to me because as quilters and sewers, we create a lot of scraps and waste.

Love my new eco printed kimono top!

I worked closely with Victoria to get my eco printed fabric to work with my chosen fabric for my kimono top. I added a panel of eco printed cotton fabric that I did using an iron blanket technique, very cool!

This was so easy!

This process, getting the pattern downloaded, printed, laid out and taped together was smoother than I expected. Instructions ons ewing it up on video were clear and well demonstrated, easier than expected. I'm on my second one.

Love my batik kimono!

I followed this pattern and instructions. The course was very well done. Super easy to follow along with the videos and written content. I loved using the design workbook too. I would highly recommend any of Victorias classes

My experience with this course has been great!

I have never followed a tutorial before or made a garment from beginning to end using a pattern. I watched all the videos first, then printed out the pattern. It was really easy following your instructions.
Even adding my own dyed fabric and patch pocket was made simple. I loved it so much that I have now ordered new fabric, so I can make another one. I would happily buy another pattern from you. Thank you!
PS: I also made this one (a chose a larger size) using my own artwork fabric and made it longer.

Your course is excellent!

I am really enjoying it. Am almost done my ‘toile’ - what I call a ‘muslin’ - and starting to plan my first kimono inspired top using only re-purposed fabric from my stash.

What a wonderful thing to learn from you on the other side of the world - I am in Canada.
