Join in the Queen Robe Project:
An inspirational sewing adventure crafting a purposeful and beautiful robe of your dream dust.
I’ve been asked by many lovely humans to offer this course, without the live class elements, so that folks can dive in and start when they are ready.
I’m offering the Queen Robe Project as a self-led adventure for the first time.
Dream it into realization.
Your dreams are your magic.
Dream it.
It all begins with an idea.
What do you dream of stepping into when out of the bath, rising from bed, lounging with your journal?
What do you take your morning coffee wearing? Is it linen, cotton, silk? Does it have long sleeves, short cufffs, no sleeves, kimono edges?
Will you throw in a hidden pocket, or embroider the words most dear to your heart in the panels?
How do you want it to make you feel?
Build it.
5 rectangles and a willingness to try:
2 sleeves
2 fronts
1 back
You can add:
-Lining, or not
-ties, or buttons
-a rectangular neck collar
-sleeve ties or buttons
-pockets
-or a sweeping train…
* Included in the Build section are adjustable front & back torso sloper pdf patterns for you to print out with detailed drawings and instructions about how to achieve your robe design dreams.
Sew it.
Sewing is simple. It really is.
Ripping out seams is normal. So are crooked bits; no one will notice, and neither should you.
We’ll sew our robe with ease and delight. Sewing the pieces, listening to music, growing excited to try the queen robe on. And taking a break when frustrations arise.
What we want is a piece you feel delicious wearing, something that evokes your essence. A robe that can be washed, and worn, for a decade or two.
My queen robe is still a treasured piece. I’ve worn it happily for 10 years & look forward to 10+ more.
Sewing is simple & we’ll learn it in an intuitive way.
The Queen Robe Project is the answer to:
-I wish I could, but I’ve never:
-sewn
or
-adapted a pattern
or
-envisioned & tried something like this before
or maybe most importantly:
-owned or made something that celebrates my body.
Creating our dreams is easier than you think. So let’s start here. Let’s make something simple that is both beautiful and useful.
We’ll adapt a pattern sloper by leaning into understanding a bit about our body & measurements, why pieces work, loose fit, and joy in the creating process.
You will be guided and learn a bit about the beginnings of pattern creation.
The Queen Robe Project is a primer on creating what you long to wear through design, planning, and sewing.
What’s included:
Downloadable front and back torso sloper,
Teaching Videos,
Photos & drawings of step-by-step options & processes,
Both audio recordings & written detailed guidance & instructions,
Workbook download,
*Bonus*: plus a whole secret special mini-course on fiber, its history, and sustainability grade (and how we derive those grades in this complicated world) Mini course value of $118
But more than all the technical details, the Queen Robe Project is about taking a moment to sink into the worthiness of your being, dream of what you’d like to envelope yourself in, and create it with your own two magical paws.
How long do I have to take the Queen Robe Project?
-You will have access to the course, workbook, and sloper downloads for life.
You can spread the content out to fit your own schedule, working through at your own pace.
I learn best in live class settings, will you teach this with live online classes again? I totally get it, I really do. A lot of us are burned out with online self-led classes.
I may teach live online again, but don’t currently have any plans to within the next year, also -when I teach this class with the 3 live online classes it’s more expensive. I’m including past live class recordings so that you can listen, watch, and possibly have your questions asked answered. AND - you can still meet with me one on one! Which leads me to… ⤵︎
What if I need help? Sign up for a one on one private online class or two with me!
My 45 minute or 70 minute help sessions are available for purchase by enrolled students.
What if I’ve never sewn before:
This is the course for you!! Making a robe is simple and we walk through each little bit of how to do it.
If you need help getting started, grab the “Beginning Sewing 30 mins for 30 bucks” one-on-one session. We sit down together online and I help you figure out your machine & start you off sewing. It really does work. I’ve helped dozens of new sewists start this way!
My style isn’t like yours will this still work for me? YES!!! Absolutely. My first passion is supporting your style/look dream vibe. The entire first step of this course is about reaching for your personal style and designing your robe from that place. There is a mini-class also available to support that work if you need to dig in a bit deeper to uncover your style essence.
Is fabric included? Nope! You will discover your fabric design and style needs through the Dream It step and purchase your fabric & accoutrements separately.
FAQS
Do I need a sewing machine? Probably best. While you can hand sew it, it’s an easy piece, that will take a while.
Just 1 straight stitch will do you, we really only need that one to make the entire robe. We go through each beginner step from turning the machine on, to sewing your first seam.
How much time will I need to spend on it? How much time you spend on each segment is up to you! You can work through each class (there are 3 segments) over 2 weeks at a good clip, but the information has depth for more if you’d live to really dive into your creative process.
If you’re brand new at sewing, understanding patterns and adapting them, then you might rewatch some segments a few times & start off sitting down to sew a linen dish towel to get your feet wet.
BUT -if you’ve sewn anything before and have a clear vision about the robe you want to make, you can absolutely have a gorgeous custom designed Queen Robe in a month.
So really? As much time as you want.
This course is designed to be more than just “make-a-robe”. It’s been created to give a holistic understanding of the body, how patterns fit the body, to ignite your personal design dreams, and crystalize your badass empowerment about what a worthwhile being you are.
Do you give refunds? If after reading through the info & FAQs, you still have questions and are unsure if this course is for you, please reach out to me.
The course & unique sloper patterns are full of my 20 years of professional work and knowledge, I don’t offer refunds but I do want to make sure that this course fuels your creative process and is a good fit.
I previously took the Queen Robe Project and it was more expensive.
Thank you so much for investing in this course and learning a new skill! Previous QRP courses had 3 live classes, so it was more expensive. This price is for the self-led digital course with no live online classes.
My question isn’t answered here, can I email you? Please do: unabashedapparel{at}gmail.com
A journey overview:
If you can only work on your Queen Robe on the weekends or a few evenings a week, that’s more than enough. The process can look like:
Week 1 & 2: Dream It
Week 3 & 4: Build It
Week 5 & 6: Sew It
Or your journey could look different:
Dream for a month,
Build it in a couple days,
Sew it on a weekend.
OR you could take a month for each step.
Your way is the right way.
