Kimono is not just clothing, it is a symbol of Japanese culture. And a kimono made with your own hands will be the beginning of familiarization with the land of the rising sun, especially since such clothes are both beautiful and comfortable. For the first kimono, it is better to choose the Yukata kimono. This variety is sewn from cotton, and is usually worn at home and used for sleeping.

Instructions
Step 1
The model under consideration is designed for a height of 170-180 cm. The cut is suitable for both men and women.
We need about 3 meters of fabric 150 cm wide. Before cutting, the fabric must be washed so that it shrinks and we can see its actual measurements. It should also be ironed to make cutting easier.
Step 2
Lay the fabric ready to be cut on the floor. Arm yourself with a thin crayon or dry soap bar. Cut out the following details: sleeves 90x40 cm - 2 pieces, back 150x70 cm - 1 piece, in front of 150x70 cm - 1 piece (the front and back can be cut at the fold as one piece, then there will be no seams on the shoulders), neck facing 200x10 cm - 1 piece, belt 250x10 cm - 1 piece. (not necessarily one-piece, can be made of several pieces), smell of the front 110x20 cm - 2 pcs.
It should be clarified that the length of the belt is calculated as three times the girth of the waist, and the facing of the neck during fitting will take its exact length. It should also be noted that it is better to cut out the details of the smell and sleeves along the edges of the fabric, then you will not have to hem the floors and sleeves, because there is an edge. And do not forget about allowances - about 1.5 cm.
Step 3
Taking the details of the sleeves by the middle, attach the right side to the front of the fold on the shoulder. Sew them so that 10 cm remain to the edge of the part. Then turn the kimono to the wrong side and sew the bottom of the sleeves folded in half, so that there is about 15 cm left for the hand, and the stitched "pocket" can be used for its intended purpose. Then sew the side seams. Next to the details of the front, you need to grind smells.
It is more convenient to do this by focusing on the bottom. Now you need to fold the yukato in half and cut the neck. After sewing the neckline first, attach it to the front of the front and sew. It remains to tuck the edges.
Step 4
The final detail is the belt. Fold the part right-side in and sew, leaving only one short edge, now turn out, sew on this edge and iron with an iron. In this simple way, you can sew a kimono for yourself and your family. Try it and you will definitely like it!
