Ready-to-sew kits

Preparing a sewing project can be time-consuming: finding the right fabric, calculating the required yardage, choosing suitable supplies, and ensuring all materials are compatible with the design.

With an Opian ready-to-sew kit, you have everything you need to get started. The kit includes a full-scale paper pattern in 11 sizes and the specific supplies selected for the design. Sewing instructions are provided as a downloadable PDF.

All that’s left is to choose your size, gather your sewing tools, and get out your sewing machine.

Swimsuit sewing kits

Finding the right supplies to sew a swimsuit can be particularly challenging, espacially in Switzerland. Fabrics and elastics intended for swimwear must be suitable for water exposure and the specific demands placed on this type of garment.

That is why Opian offers swimwear sewing kits featuring carefully curated materials. Some fabrics come from deadstock belonging to Swiss brands specialising in swimwear. Others are the work of textile designer Akikosmood, who creates her own patterns on fabric specifically engineered to use in water.

These choices allow for original sewing projects that give a second life to materials available in limited quantities, while also showcasing local creative talent.

Limited-edition sewing kits

The fabrics used in Opian kits are selected for their quality, originality, and availability. As quantities are limited, all kits are produced in small batches, with some fabrics available as one-offs. Each kit thus becomes a unique sewing project, offering the chance to create a piece you wouldn't find in a standard collection.

This approach makes Opian sewing kits an appealing alternative for anyone seeking an original creative project and wishing to make their own garments using carefully selected materials.

Sewing kits accessible to beginners

Sewing a garment can seem daunting when you are just starting out, but it becomes much more approachable with a well-prepared project and tailored instructions.

Opian sewing kits allow you to focus on the making process without the hassle of sourcing all the necessary supplies first. Even if you are a beginner with only a few garments under your belt, you can dive into a sewing project by following the pattern steps and instructions.

Making a handmade swimsuit can be simpler than it looks. With the right materials, a suitable pattern, and a little patience, you can create a unique piece yourself while gradually developing your sewing skills.
