If you have always wanted to make your very own kimono, this workshop is for you.

Workshop available for anyone who knows how to use a sewing machine, has some good sewing basics & has made some clothes before

​

This kimono is unlined, has an under arm opening and long open sleeves. 

​

This kimono has been design to fit both in Japanese width fabric as well as standard width fabric as I wanted to stick to the traditional way. But fabric can be expensive so be mindful that making the long kimono in 0.35m wide as fabric can be very costly.

​

It comes in three lengths, long, medium and short. 

A traditional kimono cut on a Japanese width cloth usually fits nicely a size 10 to 14 

I have made it in three sizes to try to fit a wider range of bodies.

​

The fabric is not provided in this workshop
