Thank you for doing a voice over with actual instructions.. I swear I've been losing my mind with the collar part and you make it sooo easy!!
I have wrecked several pieces of fabric trying to make a kimono. They never turn out. This tutorial is wonderful, and now I see what I was doing wrong. Thank you, thank you, thank you. P.S. for all those that are talking about how fast the video is, wanted to let you know I have discovered a unique feature on my computer, it is called "pause". I can stop the video, do the step, and then start it again by unpausing it.
a mi tambien me gusto ;;pero se entiende todo
....sobre todo como hacer las teminaciones las terminaciones ;
You're very personable, well-spoken, and your tutorial is essentially correct for following the Japanese sewing method. I've been an historical recreator and historical costumer of many years, so I'm not flattering you when I say you didn't make any mistakes. However, there are some things that can help novice sewists. First, a sewing machine isn't really essential to make kimono or really any other period garment. Once upon a time there were no sewing machines.. Further, historically kimono were made to be taken apart. In the time when they were made entirely out of natural fibers Japanese sewed them together by hand, using a small tight running stitch then the expensive fabrics were taken apart for cleaning and reassembled. Sewing machines are faster, but hand sewing is "period". Ambitious newbies may feel more comfortable trying it if they are really ambitious. Next, Although the zigzagging is perfectly all right some sewing machines have an "OVERCAST" stitch (see your manual if you want to know if you have one) that works even better. OR you can beg, buy, or borrow a pair of PINKING shears. They come with the zigzag already in them and eliminate the need for finishing off the seam. You can even "pink" your edges AFTER you sew the seam. Press all your seams open so they lay "flat and beautiful" (stolen with affection from brilliant designer Gunnar Deathridge--check out their channel).
You have all the makings of a great costumer and I encourage you to learn all you can about fabrics and construction. I'll be watching to see you grow.
His tutorials are SO well put together , I literally understood everything first time
*goes off and makes 1000 kimonos *
I love the intro for this video so much
So awesome. I've been looking for a tutorial for several weeks now, I must say this is the best one. Finally I know how to take the measurements! Thanks, and will try making one of these tomorrow.
This is a wonderful tutorial! I’m absolutely going to follow this for my project, much thanks!
Wow thank you so much! I plan on making kimonos for my bridesmaids as a thank you gift and this video is so helpful and SO EASY to follow! Thank you!
That was surprisingly easy to follow through. I need to get the materials asap. Thank you for the inspiration.
❤️💟
Brilliant! Thank you so much for uploading it. Just did a practice run out of an old bedsheet! It’s so much better than faffing around with a pattern, it took me just a few hours. I’m now looking for real silk as a birthday present for mommie dearest. Tip: if anyone is struggling with slippy slidey material, spray it with starch. You can get it out of any big supermarket, but if you can’t find it then hairspray works almost as well. Test it on a piece of scrap first though!
This is so helpful! trying to make a kyouka cosplay rn and this is perfect
This is a really great vid. The format is excellent! Informative, gets to the point and easy to reference timings (SUUCH a great idea). Count me in! Happily subscribed :) Thanks a lot, now I need to go make my boyfriend crimbo pressie.
Thank you so much for this video! I was at a loss for how I was going to make part of my costume and this video made the process so simple and easy to follow, and it turned out great!
This is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you!!
This video must have been a lot of work. Thank you so much!! This is exactly what I was looking for. I love the little half size one - so cute!
easy to understand and to follow... thanks for this!
Beautiful work and great explanations! Thank you!
I had to find this video again because it was so helpful. I used this method to make a "Sokka" costume for my son. I changed it to be a "vest" style by making very short sleeves (about 3 cm long). It came out great! Thanks SOOOOO much!
Very informative with notes in the margin of the note book. Easy to understand and execute. Thank you
Hi, really think you made a great tutorial, it is clear and easy to follow along to. Will be giving this a try soon.
Brilliant one of the best patterns I've seen, definitely going to use this, is there anymore patterns from this man, he's made it very easy to follow
Well done 👖👕👚🧥✂️
Loved this! I’m going to do one for my boyfriend for his birthday, I’ll try it with my overlocker 😁
I love your tutorial, is so simple, im gonna try this and come back with the results :D
You're such a good teacher ! I don't particulary have the sewing vocabulary in English but I understood everything, thank you !
Love I’m making my bf a kimono for edc and this is perfect 😊
Like the 1st pattern :3
Yes! This is the video I've been looking for, this is *the one*. Pretty sure I can do it now, and turn all the odd bits I've fiddled with into belts. Found two rolls of lovely cotton material for next to nothing, the junk room is cleared out, an old door is now my work surface and sewing machine is dusted off. Everyone's getting kimonos for xmas, whether they bloody well want one or not!
This is the best kimono tutorial I've come across so far! Just waiting for my material to arrive so I can try this out :D
Omg!!!This is so good!!
Best Kimono tutorial ever.
Excellent tutorial!
Wow I love this! Thank you!!
Great tutorial!!
very well thought out tutorial excited to use this to make my clothing line robes.
Great tutorial
I LOVE IT THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
This is so well explained! Wish he still uploaded
Well he's back and just launched a pretty successful kickstarter campaign. I guess that's where his focus has been in the last months.
What a nice BATH GOWN you’ve made.
Thank you for this video, you made us so clear and simple and the idea of making a smaller dress to get it all in shot helped a lot! I have tried to watch other videos and can’t tell what’s going on due to the size of the fabric :$
Super presentation. Thank you!
So helpful bc I’m trying to make a home made Hiyoko Saionji cosplay
you are sooo gorgeous!! thank you for the tutorial
Awesome video! This answered so many questions I had making mine for an upcoming anime convention.
Amazing!
Well explained.
Thank you for your video!!
i felt so weird measuring myself
length: 150
panel width: 57
neck width: 22
my neck and panel widths are different than yours but i still ended up cutting 17,5 cm to the center for my neck
its amazing that i managed to find a tutorial with exact measurements for me, thanks for a great and simple video imo the best of all tutorials out there
Thanks you very much for good explanation
You the best in explanation thank you very much
Thank you this is so helpful for me
Very nice tutorial :) Thank you
I loved it very much.... 🤩😘
Perfect
Hands down the best Kimono tutorial on TH-cam! You went up and beyond for this tutorial. Keep on going bro!
I’ve been sewing for a few years and I learned loads from it!
I love u!!!
Lov the video 👍
Wow very nice presentation sir 😍🥰
Danke schön, das ist das perfekte video❤❤❤❤❤
this video was sooo helpful. I've seen all these beautiful Happi jacket ads on Instagram but didn't wanna buy them because most of them are produced in sweatshops or through child labour. thanks so much for this
I refuse to buy things made in sweat shops, I also refuse to purchase things from China
I think about all those young children, straining their eyes working in those dark damp places, wish lots more would refuse to use these places
Hiya. Love your explanation. It’s very clear and concise. How adaptable is the measurements when translating to panels. Eg I would like to make a shorter version with shorter sleeves.
Mitchell Nortje very adaptable! You can make it any length you like really. Figure out the panel sizes first by drawing it all out, then you can shorten the height of the back and front panels, and the width of the sleeve panels
Waouh very beautiful thank you so much god blesse you 🙏❤
Trabalho perfeito maravilhoso
This was extremely helpful 😩😩😩
The fabric ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where did you buy your fabrics?
Hey i loved your way of making kimono! This is my first time making. I've cut the pieces. I'm just confused about the sleeve measurements. Can you please tell me the exact measurements of sleeves?
tq verry helpfull
are there any websites you reccomend for buying the printed satin or is better to try and source it from a local fabric shop?
Omggggggggggggg thank you!!!!
My brain: Let's make this as complicated as possible
goog job. I love the drape to the red and gray?blue? kimono.
i think i would have used “the burrito” method to enclose sleeve edge into black contrast material. Don’t forget to add twill tape to under arm corner to keep it from tearing. :-) you can always starch the hem, unless it is a solid color fabric (tends to show).
How much fabric do we get for the edging?
Looks easy and well explained, thank you!
Lovely tutorial, but l you would like to ask something I want to make a kimono robe for my son for Christmas, using a heavier fabric like fleece or so. Do you have any suggestions should I use the same pattern or make any adjustments? What I mean is that you're using a fabric that has some flow. If I use a heavier fabric will that look okay as a kimono robe?
Thank you
Hello! I think that's a lovely idea and I reckon it would work just as well! Sounds nice and cosy :) I'd love to hear how you go with it
you can do this with a heavier fabric?
I have been looking for one which is not complicated
You look so beautiful 😍. Fell in love with you 🤗❤️
Attaching the edging around the neck edge has to be the hardest with the seams and curves etc. I would have liked to have seen that along with tipe. Otherwise a great and easy looking sew! Thank you for sharing your tips!
Was going to buy one online for Halloween but turns out some of them is just too expensive
And this was a great alternative!

Hello new subscriber. I just got a Brother machine can you do a tutorial? I only hand sew and want to learn badly. Thank you.
I tried this as my first sewing project. The tutorial was immensely helpful. Do you have an Instagram so I can tag you? Thanks 😀
Hey there. If I wanted to make the kimono shorter and the sleeves shorter, and the sleeves to be a little bit less wide, what would you suggest I do? Like which measurements? Would that mean for me, if I wanted the kimono to be 81CM in length, and the sleeves to come to my elbows, what adjustments do I have to make to your measurements? Thanks! I haven't done anything with fabric yet, so this question is probably stupid lol!
Hey Rob! I would still measure it out as per the video, then lay the pieces out as if it were sewn together (almost like at shape) then trim the sections you want shorter (ie take a section off the bottom of the long panels, then off the sleeves too). Then sew the pieces together as per the steps. Hope that helps!
@@LarsChristian Thanks! For the length of the kimono, I can just take the length I want right? So if I want it to have a length of 81cm, I can just adjust measurements? And then I will just off trim the sleeves later? Or does that not work?
@@iCupboard I would make a test piece with some cheap fabric first, so you can try it out and see what happens. That's what I do for my projects 😊
Where did you get you main fabric? It’s really beautiful!
Marcia Swain I got it on eBay but the seller doesn't do that print anymore, I tried getting more but couldn't! 😕
@@LarsChristian What is the EBay seller link? I looooove the fabric you showed in your second kimono in the intro.
The intro is cool! and a awesome kimono.
I went ahead with this great tutorial, and now, after sewing the sleeves on, i fitted it on, and its way too small for me.......what a waste of my money... how can i now make this bigger?
I took your set up and made me a kimono/cardigan let me know where I can send a picture of it to you , thank you so much for your help
This is fabulous but it goes so quickly. Are there written instructions? It says in chapters in comments below but I do not see it here. I’m especially interested in figuring out the measurements. Thank you!!
Shoshana Grammer no written instructions unfortunately, but if you go to the video description I've broken the chapters down with time marks so you can go back to each section for reference. Hope that helps!
Cool intro.
Amazing and easy video. It goes very fast, but otherwise great!
super video ...lastima que mi ingles sea un poco pobre ;;pero se entiende todo
....sobre todo como hacer las teminaciones las terminaciones ;
Can i just straight stitch all the way through??? And not using the zigzag one???
The Zig zag stops the fabric from fraying, so it's pretty important for long term use!
You could increase the seam allowance, straight stitch the seam and then cut the seam down to 1cm with pinking scissors. That would stop it from fraying. But, to be honest, I think you are much better off using the zig zag stitch.
How about a pattern for a men's overcoat, and also a cloak? My son likes old fashioned, outerwear.
On my second one now for a relative, the first one went well except my sleeves were twice as long and I'm not sure how that happened but it's fine I just chopped it off at the end. Let's see how this one goes🤣
update - this one fits perfectly so i def fudged something up the first time🤣🤣
can you make the kimono shorter by not doing it from your shoulders to your feet, but from your shoulders to your knees
I’m still a little lost an would like some extra help with a project with the type of fabric and pattern I got of your interested bc I’m having a lil hard time thanks
At 6:16, how long should each strip be?
Look at the 3 minute mark
@@LarsChristian thank you!
Is there instructions?
6:15 14cm wide by how long??
Thank yiu a lot, now I can make my sukuna cosplay✌🕊
