Begin by folding the fabric in half and lay it down with the fold at the top.<\/p>\n
Measure and mark the sleeves and the body the size you want. You will want to add 2 inches to your desired sleeve and body widths for when you sew the edges together. For example, I wanted 8″ wide sleeves and 23″ wide body, so I measured 10″ for the sleeves and 25″ for the body.<\/p>\n Cut down the middle line as well as cutting out the triangle for the neck. Make sure to cut only the top layer, like the image below:<\/p>\n![\"kimono-diagram\"](\"http:\/\/ethiomomma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kimono-diagram.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Cut through both layers along the markings. Then mark a line straight up the middle of the body along with a triangle for the neck. I made mine about 7″ wide. Once you have it cut out start sewing the sleeves together as well as the sides. It should look like one big T-shirt without a hole for a neck.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Once you’ve cut through the middle, hem both side of the openings. Also hem the bottoms ends, and around the sleeves. Turn it inside out, and you’re all done!<\/p>\n
