8 EASY STEPS TO DESIGN A CUSTOM KIT

Choose Your Project

The School of Making offers 32+ garment and project styles with design variations in length, seams, sleeves, pockets, and more. Make what suits your life and style.

(There is something for everyone!)

Choose Your Size

Pro Tip: Test the desired embellishment for stretchability before selecting your size. Highly embellished projects may lose some of the stretch inherent in cotton jersey.

Choose one size larger for garments with robust decorative stitching, beading, and/or embroidery.

3/8

Choose Your Technique

Choose from beginner, intermediate, and advanced design techniques.

(Double Negative Reverse Tony, shown above in Navy, Ballet, and Natural, is considered an advanced technique!)

Choose from fifteen+ colorways in 100% organic and USA grown extra-long staple cotton jersey.
