- Hey guys! Here's another super easy tutorial! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as me. More info bellow:
Fabric measurements: 1.50 (height) x 1.20 (width)
If you wanna make it longer (height) increase the height size from 1.50m to whatever height you want (divide the number by 2 cause your folding the fabric in half!)

That paper demo is the very best explanation I have ever seen. PERFECT to understand and SEE Thanks for sharing. Excellent.
Hey! Thank you so much!! I'm so happy that you find it easy to understand, really! I'll keep it this way 😘❤️
Agreed. It was very clever and made it easier to understand the process.
I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Reese Larry Instablaster =)
@Duke Arthur i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
One of the best tutorials for a kimono I've ever seen.
ahh the paper tutorial made everything so easy to follow! I definitely want to try this!
Thank you so much! I think it's an easy way to understand it better too. Hope you enjoy your final result 😘❤️
Yes. Well done!!
This was absolutely excellent for beginner sewer like me. I can't afford sewing lessons, so I am relying on RUclips, and I could understand this. Have no idea why you don't have more subscribers! Happily subscribing to your channel. Thanks again!
reallifevixen thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really really happy that you were able to understand this tutorial!! I guess I have to do more videos to reach a bigger audience. But I'm really happy for your subscription! Thank you :)
I used Pinterest as well as youtube to learn. Love that both are free
Pinterest lover here too! 😍❤️
AMAZING tutorial especially with the paper. That was amazingly helpful for a beginner like me thank you!
I have watched many many of kimono DIY’s vids but literally i got nothing ,
Your way of explanation with paper such an excellent , god bless you , thx ❤️
I love how you explain the tutorial with paper, it looks way better and easier, FINALLY a clear tutorial ♡♡♡
+Arwa Ben eheh thank you so so much!! I'm happy that you liked it and found it easy to understand!! Paper instructions were definitely a good choice! 😘❤️
Love this! Straightforward and the paper, then fabric was genius! Now looking for light fabric to try this out!
Yes! So glad you liked it!! 😘❤️
I was looking around for these and they are all so cookie cutter so thought they should be simple enough to make and sure enough this video shows just that. One of the best sewing tutorials I have found on RUclips. Very easy to understand and no confusion. Thank you! Will be subscribing.
Aww thanks dear!! So happy to read your words 😘❤️
i love how you do it on that piece of paper first before you do it on the fabric, it makes it more clear. thank you so much.
+Lusiana Waqalevu ehehe thank you so much! I believe it's much easier to understand with the paper, I'm glad you think that too!! 😘❤️
This is just too cool! I can’t wait to try making this. I’m still very very new at sewing and a project like this makes me feel so hopeful about taking on sewing as a hobby. Thank you so much!🌺
Aww, your comment just made my day! You should definitely try doing this, I’m also a beginner exploring something I love. You should definitely pursue this if you like it 😘🥰

This seems easy enough thank you! I can’t wait to try and make this
Yes! You should definitly do it! :)
thank you so much, i'm in love with the kimono i made, it's my first sewing piece ever, i'm so inspired to keep creating outfits, thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕🤠
hello there! this is the reason why I make videos, I'm really happy that you were able to make it and love it. I would love to see it! Thank you so much for watching! 😘❤️
Hello, I am considering embarking on a project to make a kimono too. Can I ask, do you have any photos of the one you made, or any tips for me? Thanks! p.s. I have no experience with sewing, but I have access to a good machine and a lot of desire to do a nice quality job!
Hi there! I've seen this video about a month ago and I came back to say thank you! I have made a kimono following your steps and I'm very happy with the end result 😊 so thanks again! 😘💙
YASS!! So happy to read that!! :)
Wow - the paper model makes the instructions so very clear. What an excellent teaching technique.
Ehehe thank you so so much dear! 😘❤️
HEY GUYS, QUICK QUESTION!! Since a lot of you are asking about the neck part what do you think about me making a simple video just showing that part of the process? Thank you so much for your support :))
Yes please! And I wanted to ask: can you please tell me what's the type of fabric you used? Thank you 💙
Suuuure, it would be nice!
Yes pls
Yes please DIY neck part!!
Please explain the neck part. I need that video...please, please!
Excellent idea showing the process with the paper model!
Hey!! Thank you so much. So happy that you enjoyed it! 😘❤️
Measurements for the sleeves would be helpful, such as where exactly to cut. This leaves me to search out another video that better explains. The paper example was a good visual.
the sleeves measurements is just about how large you want them to be
You can make them as wide as you want. I made them with about 30 x 30 cm. 😘❤️
Yes! That’s exactly it 😘❤️
That depends on how wide the scarf or fabric is
@The Polkadotter I made 30 x 30 cm for the sleeves. And the kimono is way too small for me ... I don't understand what I did wrong ...
it's seems to be broad on you ... I really don't understand. (PS: i'm french so, sorry if my english isn't perfect ^^)
I love how you do the paper demo then show how to do it.. wonderful job. Thank you. i been wanting to make one.
Ohh, thank you! 😘❤️
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this tutorial. I want to make one for both of my daughters for the holidays. ❤
Awww you must do that! You’ll love the final result. Thank you so much for your words 😘❤️
For the neck part, I was able to figure it out. Thanks so much, I was so searching for an easy way to make this cardigan or kimono. ❤❤
OMG! That looks easy. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for making it so easy. Can you tell me the measurements of the area you cut out, please?
Yes, I understand you. Thank you the way you teach this is so clear.
Thank you so much, for watching! :)
This was the smartest video I've ever seen! Using the paper to show what your doing was very intelligent. Very clever. .
Thank you dear!! 😘🥰
Thanks you so much. I was able to make one for my daughter and for my self. This was so easy and quick❤
Brilliant tutorial and using the paper demo made it really easy to understand!
Awww, thank you sooo much! 😘🥰
Beautiful! When you say to "zig zag in the extremities", do you mean zig zag stitch in the fabric next to the straight seam (in order to prevent fraying?)?
Exactly that! :)
A most EXCELLENT video! Thank you!
this video saved me!! I had been struggling to pattern a piece like this and this video is perfect. Thank you for making this, my third attempt on this project will hopefully be my last thanks to this really helpful tutorial!
Hey darling!! I'm so so happy to read this!! I really hope you made your kimono and are happy with it! Thanks for the kind words 😘❤️

Very nice. Would make a great summer cover up. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😘❤️
LOVE THIS TUTORIAL! Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!
I got some printer paper out and played until I understood each step. Can't wait to try it on some new rayon I just washed. Thank you for the tutorial!
Nice!! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I find it really easy to understand the steps using the paper first!
Great tutorial! Thank you!!
Excellent. Thank you. One note - I would do all the edge hemming first and then sew.
Hello there! Yes! You're probably right, it would be easier if done that way. Thanks for the tip!
Ruby Firefly what do you mean by edge hemming?
best kimono diy ive seen!
+Teautiful. Thank you so so much!! ❤️
The Polkadotter ur so welc 😘
You might want to mention to buy a light fabric, like challis, voile, silky prints, and similar fabrics; medium to heavy fabrics won't drape right, and you can't use a heavier fabric like brocades unless you get some structure into the garment with facings and a lining or underlayment .
You’re totally right! I’ll definitely add that to the description. Thank you so much 😘❤️
Sorry but if anyone Think this looks like a Real kimono they are mistaking
Hello there! Yes, I’ve already said in the comments that this is not a tradicional kimono. But where I live, we can also call this piece a kimono and everybody relates to what it is. Thanks for your comment :)
could i use knit
Love the paper explanation.
Thank you dear! ❤️
You made it looooook so easy! I wish to learn more! I’m a happy subscriber! 🙏🏽❤️
Aww, and I'm so happy to read this! :)
Hello! I love the tutorial, it was very helpful and easy to understand. I do have a question about the step after you cut the sleeves. To sew the edges together, do you open up the fabric and sew both edges under the sleeves separately? Or do you sew it all together while it's still folded? It seems to me we would have to open and then sew two times. In the video and tutorial though it looked like you only did it once?
Hello there! Yes, you have to unfold the fabric and sew the sleeves together, sewing only two layers of fabric and then do it whith the other sleeve. I hope I could help you :)
GREAT JOB!! 😀 It looks amazing! 😍
So cute! Thank you so much for watching 😘
Thank you, that's wonderful. I love how you use paper to show us how it's done. One question: How much fabric do I need for a size 14? I think you're a couple of sizes smaller than me.
Hello there! You could use this measurements or add like 2-3 cms to the initial measurements, I think it would work just fine! :)
Perfect!!!! Paper demo was phenomenal...I have some Ankara I'm going to use this tutorial for. Thank you
Yes! I’d love to see the result 😘🥰
I stored some georgette clothes from many days and don't know what will I do with them..Now,I'll make kimonos of them! Thank you sis for sharing this! 😀
What a wonderful idea!! You’re the best 😘🥰
What no neck opening? If you do the circle needs to be 1/3 back & 2/3 in the front. Maybe I'm making it too hard, but that's the quick and dirty to create a neck opening
You’re an excellent tutor. Keep doing such great vids:)
Thank you so much! 😘❤️
the papper... omg,,,,, i love the way u explain it ... good job
Aww, thank you so much!! 🥰
Really enjoyed watching that. It is very easy to make. Will have to try making it.
You should definitely try it!! :)
Thank you!!!!!!! I live in these during Summer, now I can make em myself!!
YAAASS!! Me too! So happy you liked it :)
thank you so much! this was so much simpler than I thought :D super happy with my new kimono!
YAAYYY!! So happy you liked it 😘😘
Thanks for this super-simple project! I made a practice version of it out of a cotton bedsheet, which isn't as light as what you used. Two problems that I want to fix: puckers in the armpits because of the 90 degree angle (I'll try cutting a curve next time) and the neck. I can't decide whether to also cut a curve at the neck as well and try to hem that or to use a bias tape finish. What do you recommend? I'm sure I could make it work well with the kind of super light, flowy material you used, but I really want to make some that have more heft.
Because my bedsheet version had a lot of extra, NOT flowy fabric in the front, I wound up folding it back, tacking the corners at the sideseams and top stitching that toward bottom of the garment, which created a lapel-looking front that I top stitched from the neck down to a certain point and then left open for pockets. It's comfortable and stylish and the pockets are handy. I just need to fix the neck and armpits next time!
Hello there! First of all, I would love to see your final result! Then, yes the armpits get a little bit strange because of the 90 degree level cut, if you make it a little curvy it will work much much better. About the neck, I never tryied making it round but I'll definitly give it a shot next time, cause the result will probably be much better too! Thank you so much for watching and spend the time writing your comment! 😘❤️
I loved. Excellent explanation.
Thank you so much! 😘❤️
Impeccable su explicación... muchas gracias...
I loved ur explaination with paper
😍😍😘😘😘😘
Aww! Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😘❤️
I bet the paper demo is better than using the fabric itself. I haven't sewed anything before n I think this is a good start.
Finally, a brilliant explanation! Thank you so much 😊
Awww thank you so much!! 🤍

Agree about the neck. Would not sit right unless rounded.
It sits all right, I’m gonna post a picture of it on my Instagram so you can see it. But rounded would fit perfect too 😘❤️
The Polkadotter Hi, I’ve just tried to link onto your Instagram and FB pages to see if the instructions for the neck is posted on there but it’s saying that the link must be either broken or the page has been removed for them both 😕any ideas why this is so please?! I’m desperate to find out how to do the neck properly as you have done it in the video! Thanks so much🥰👍🏻
@@millybops brodreie a la main
hi there, is there a video update for this one? was reading on your comments you might share a video showing the neck, and mabe a rounded version of it, is this updated somewhere? mind sharing the link please? thank you this video was really helpful and easy!
i just started sewing and made my first pair of shorts after about 10 try's. i definitely want to try this!!
Yes! You should definitely try it!! :) ❤️
@@thepolkadotter just made my first kimono, thanks to you!
