:pointr: :pointr: :pointr: You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open this file, as it's a PDF. You can download it here.

:star: Please, if you :+fav: or Download, please leave a comment and let me know what you think! :star:

Here is a tutorial that I've meant to do for a while now, but really pushed to have finished before school started.

This is basically how I draft my kimono/yukata and faki-mono outfits (flip through my gallery for examples of some of them). A lot of people seem to have problems with them, and I had a lot of requests for this tutorial, so I hope you all appreciate the 8 hours it took to do this (and in a PDF, no less!)

This is really detailed, so that if you're new to sewing, you can follow it! If ~kellin could follow it, I have no doubt anyone can do this! So give it a try!!

I tried to document every step that you need to do as clearly as possible, so you shouldn't get lost! With lots and lots of technical illustrations!

:star: You may also find my Pre Tied Obi Tutorial [link] useful in addition to this one, so check it out! :star:

I think there could still be a few spelling/gramatical errors floating in this, so I'm sorry about those! Also, this is the first time I've made a PDF, so please be kind and let me know if there are any issues - I've checked and re-checked it through, but if I did something weird, please let me know. I'm still new to using InDesign (most of the work was done in Illustrator) so there may be some issues there :D

I would ask that you do not sell anything you make with this tutorial. I know that there isn't a way to enforce this, so I'm appealing to your conscience.

Any questions? Just ask! I'm always glad to answer!

If you make something from this tutorial, throw me a link so I can see! That's the reason why I do tutorials, to see what other people can come up with!!

It's definitely not that difficult to do - I over-document the steps (like, hard core really putsy) just to be sure it's easy to follow. These now take me about an hour to draft, cut and sew, and that's just because I add in stuff like inset lace or ruffles or whatnot :D

And now I feel compelled to make something crazy. Again. You ARE a bad influence on me. ^^;

This is very usefull! Very nicely done. I will certainly use this in the near future for my own kimono/haori ^^

I thought you were to lay off of the kimono for a while :giggle:

I'm a horrible influence!! I know it. :D

Ah, that's good then. I have to find our sewing machine ^^; I don't use it a lot because my grandmother has a better/newer one ^^;
