I’ll show you all the steps of cutting and stitching a kimono cardigan including: how to use a t-shirt to cut out the bodice pieces; how to make a kimono sleeve pattern using a t-shirt as a guide; how to sew the pieces together; how to use bias tape to finish the neckline and opening; how to hem sleeves; and how to add fringe trim to a kimono.

STYLING:
These look great over a dress, tights, and boots during the fall, or a dress and sandals or jeans and a solid tee/tank during spring. They also make the perfect kimono swimsuit coverup for summer! They’re perfect for all sizes - the loose fit is great on thin or plus size frames for the perfect outerwear accessory!

XO, Monika
I really love your tutorial. This is a great method using a T-shirt to make a customized pattern rather than having to get a commercial pattern. I just bought fabric this morning and am excited to get started. Thanks.
Very quick and smart . you make it so simple looking.Good job.
J'adore votre façon de faire.Bravo.

I have been sewing for over 50 years and this is the easiest video I have ever seen....no kidding, AND, in all those years I can tell you....Knits are not my friend! I just made a knit pull over shirt...it looks like a wet dishrag that someone threw at me. P.s. I am a horder shopper of retro sewing patterns...not because I like sewing them, but when I get them (from Etsy) I look at the front picture of the pattern how the artist draws the women wearing the outfit, her hair and accessories...it is like collecting baseball cards I guess??? My patterns have a room of their own and want for nothing! Anywho, your video was just wonderful❤️
Aww, that is so sweet of you to say, thank you very much!!! :) Hahaha I hope you can make better friends with knits ;) Some of them can be so tricky but I sure do love knit projects with the right fabrics! Ohh how cool that you collect retro patterns! I totally know what you mean - I love looking at the art and the styles and inspiration on fashion drawings and patterns so that's such a great idea to collect them! And it sounds like they have a loving home :D I bet it's so fun to sort through them and get inspiration from the styles! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!!!
You are a very good exsplainer if I had to make one I good understand you very easily
Thank you!!! I try to make things as clear to understand as possible so I'm really glad that you thought it was explained well, that means a lot to me! Thanks so much for watching 😃
Would love you to show a video on how to make a zipped jacket
Thanks for the request! I don't sew with zippers much because I don't particularly like wearing them, but I'll add it to my idea list just in case! 😃
I am from Palestine and your video is very benefit to me thanks alot
Thank you so much for tuning in from Palestine!! I’m so glad you liked the video 😃 Thank you for taking the time to watch it and leave a comment!
You make so much sense, my goodness. Thank you.can I use the same pattern to make a jacket?maybe add interfacing and lining?I had 'Fos' aka fear of sleeves but you helped me overcome that. Bless you. I just discovered you today. I am hooked!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you liked the tutorial!! 😃I think you could use the same general idea to make a jacket - and if you have a jacket style you like you could even trace around it to make a similar style!
wowwww great tutorial! thankyou so muchhh
Aw you’re so welcome!! Thank you for watching it and leaving a comment!
Monica can you do a tutorial on a mid length cardigan
I've been looking for patterns and tutorials for sleeveless kimonos but I can't seem to find any. Do you think it'll work if I take the normal pattern and don't add the sleeves (+ make the shoulders narrower)? It's for a cosplay of avatar Kyoshi
Hi! Very useful. What machine would you suggest for me to get as a beginner?
Hi! I would recommend almost any brother machine. Singer machines are good as well, but are harder to find one thats beginner friendly because there so many to choice from. Hope this helps :)
Thanks! I've used a Singer Talent 3321 for several years and I think it's pretty beginner friendly so it's one I'd definitely recommend! It has a decent variety of stitches, not so many that they're overwhelming, but enough that as you learn and experiment you can try new things. And if you decide not to go with that specific machine, I'd recommend looking for a machine that you can adjust the stitch length and stitch width on (I've seen a few super basic machines where you can't do that), and that has some basic stitches (like straight stitch and zigzag stitch) but also a few stretch stitches and decorative stitches. This will allow you to keep experimenting when you're ready to move on from just the straight stitch and zigzag stitch without having to upgrade a machine again. I've had great luck with Singer so far but I've also heard a lot of people who have enjoyed their Brother machines. I hope that helps! Good luck with your purchase and I'd love to hear what you decide!
Great tutorial. Thanks so much. Your kimono is awesome and so simple to make. :D
+The Sterling Thimble Aw thank you!!! I appreciate the kind words and it always means a lot to know when a project looks easy to make 😃 Thank you for watching and happy sewing!

Can you please upload this video again , as after few seconds its stops all of sudden and does not play afterwards
Hmm I’ve checked and it’s playing right for me and for a family member I asked to check on their computer... I googled to see why a video wouldn’t play right and got a lot of suggestions to clear the cookies and history and whatnot as sometimes this can cause a video to stop, so I wonder if that would help? I’ll continue to try and figure out what is going on when I have more time to look into it and see if there’s any more suggestions I can figure out! I’m so sorry for the inconvenience!!! Otherwise I may wind up making another version of this video. I’ll let you know if I can figure anything out!
Where is the video I think it has been ruined or damaged I can't see anything
Hmm it took a minute to load but is playing for me... I’m on my phone now but will look on my computer as soon as I can to see if it will play anywhere else! I hope nothing is wrong with it and I’m sorry it’s not working for you!
@@ComicatCreations thanks for replying me quickly I love ur videos following u from Egypt
I never like any videos but your explanation was way too good not to reward your work
😂Haha your mum made the vid sorry 😂😂
Haha I told her 😂I wish I could convince her to be in more videos, she's usually camera shy! It was funny looking back on this so thank you for the comment!!
Great tutorial but weird voice, like a sing-song robot. Why?
Very nice
Thank you! 😃 Thanks so much for watching!
