Fashion Design: Japanese-Inspired Patterns

Making a Japanese inspired kimono jacket

“Congratulations! You have now reached the end of this Domestika course. Thank you for your interest and for accompanying me to the end. I hope this gave you inspiration to create your own designs. If some steps seem a bit difficult, take a short break; do something else and then start again. Sometimes it's enough to just drink a glass of water and carry on. You will find your own rhythm and your own tricks. Sewing can often be a bit tricky. If you need further tips, just get in touch in the forum. I will stop by as often as possible and will be happy to assist you with the process. Let me inspire you, but create your own designs and be creative. Try a different bag, combine different fabrics together, or make a completely different collar. In your development phase you are completely free! As a reminder, I have summarized the most important steps as briefly as possible: Collection of ideas Research topics that particularly inspire you and collect reference images to create the mood board and color chart for your design.

Sketches Put your ideas on paper. Create different sketches of your jacket and then choose one to properly draw the design. The pattern Draw the pattern of your jacket on paper (back, front, collar, sleeves, pockets and loops) and cut it out. The nettle test All parts are then cut in the nettle for the nettle sample. Find someone to do the nettle test so you can see what improvements you want to make. Then make the necessary changes to the pattern. Cutting the fabric Cut the original fabric, but iron the fabric first. When cutting, pay attention to the grain or a specific pattern scheme. Making the jacket First sew the small parts: the loop, the pockets and the collar. Remember to put the front pockets on first. Then sew the jacket together, first the shoulder seam, then the sleeves, the side seams and finally the collar. I look forward to seeing what you have created. Once you're done, upload your project to the forum. To do this, simply click on “Create your project”. Remember to add the pictures of the different stages to show the entire process. You can also write a short explanation about this. The projects in this course will also be a great source of inspiration for me. It is very helpful to exchange ideas with the community and support each other. So participate in the forum, ask questions and share your ideas and the progress of your project. I also look forward to suggestions for improvement, this is the only way I can develop myself further. Have fun, see you! ”
