Create a timeless layering piece designed for slow mornings, creative work, and everyday comfort.
In this 4-week Wear Lab, you’ll design and sew your own kimono-inspired lounge top: a relaxed, unisex garment that blends the comfort of loungewear with the style of a modern wardrobe staple.
Inspired by luxury lounge sets and Japanese-inspired silhouettes, this course explores how designers transform simple fabrics into wearable pieces that reflect personal style. From selecting your fabric and customizing design details to constructing and finishing your garment, you’ll experience the process of creating a piece from concept to completion.
Throughout the course, you’ll build confidence in garment construction while creating a versatile lounge layer you can wear at home, when traveling, or as part of your everyday wardrobe.
A custom kimono-inspired lounge top designed and sewn by you.
Customize your garment through:
Fabric selection and color palette
Length and silhouette choices
Sleeve and neckline details
Button, tie, or closure options
Optional pockets
Personalized finishing details
Throughout this Wear Lab, you’ll learn:
How to understand and work with a garment pattern
How to measure and select the appropriate size
How to choose fabrics for apparel projects
How to prepare and cut fabric accurately
How to construct a wearable garment
How to create clean seams and professional finishes
How to add functional details like pockets, buttons, or ties
How to refine fit and finishing details
This project is designed for soft woven fabrics, including:
Cotton sateen
Rayon challis

Lightweight linen blends
Cotton voile
Silk or specialty fabrics for an elevated finish
We recommend choosing fabrics with beautiful drape and comfort while providing enough structure for a polished garment.
