Pattern Puzzle - Kimono Twist Dress

Every week new fans turn up to comment and solve our #PatternPuzzle and this week was no exception.  Steph Go was in early with a comprehensive answer revealing the main parts of the pattern piece.  Then Julie and Lynn turned up a little later to finish off the puzzle.  You'll find the rest of this fabulous pattern making post on the website in my well-suited blog.

If you'd like to learn my method for creating Twist Drape Patterns I have a detailed worksheet for making Jersey Twist Patterns. For just a few dollars you'll get the same training you'd get if you came to the workshop in my studio.


Check out the First Sample post on the blog.

  1. hi there- just the dress i'd been looking for. i read through, and even though ive been sewing all my life, i couldn't understand almost any of your instructions. i would love to see the pattern piece with small arrows explaining which goes where and i bet i could piece it together from that alone. thank you!

    I've been a seamstress for many years, but have always struggled with patterns. Thank you so much for your ideas, explanations and artistry and thank you for sharing - generosity coupled with genius, a win-win for all sewists :)

    1. Hi Arianna, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately no video, just this blog post. Much will depend on the block you use to start the pattern. Do you have a woven kimono block? That would be best if possible, then use the instructions above.
      Let me know if you have any questions. Anita
