Master the art of creating the Sarong Kebaya with our course. Learn advanced patternmaking, sewing skills, and custom-fit techniques for this traditional South East Asian garment. Embrace sustainable fashion with made-to-measure, bespoke clothing.
Overview
This course offers a deep dive into the art of creating the Sarong Kebaya, a traditional South East Asian skirt and blouse ensemble. Emphasizing the importance of custom-fitted garments in modern fashion, this course will equip learners with advanced patternmaking and sewing skills, focusing on creating form-fitting silhouettes customized to individual client measurements. The rise of made-to-measure and bespoke clothing reflects a growing trend among fashion consumers for sustainable, unique apparel that suits their figure, taste, and style. The Sarong Kebaya, popularized globally as the Singapore Airlines uniform by French designer Pierre Balmain, epitomizes this trend. Learners will gain insights into drafting fitted garments, with specific attention to the unique aspects of the Kebaya and Sarong. This includes drafting a basic blouse and skirt block based on specific measurements, exploring various pleated skirt styles, and achieving a perfect fit through meticulous sewing and pattern adjustment. The course will also cover high-quality construction finishes, essential for working with intricate batik fabrics.

Before your class begins, we'd like you to know that you have the following items so that the class can proceed smoothly.
The following items are compulsory for students to bring:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fabric/Lining requirements are based on standard medium sizing. Please purchase additional yardage for larger sizes.
Fabric for the Kebaya top - Voile, Silk, Organza, Eyelet Embroidery Cotton OR Soft Lace (need lining)( 2.5 metres per piece for 45"/114cm width )
Fabric for the Sarong skirt (ankle length) - 1 piece of Batik fabric( 2.0 or 2.5 metres per piece for 45"/114cm width ) OR cut batik print fabric ( 2.5 metres for 45"/114cm width).
We advise you to get fabrics that are not too soft and slippery.
Additionally, solid color fabric is highly recommended. Clearly mark which is the face and back of the fabric.
If you prefer to get prints, please get non-directional prints that can be cut in either direction. For example, if you get a dinosaur print, you must make sure the dinosaurs are looking in all different directions and not just one.
