I would have made it wider, as it came out very slim in the body. I didn’t expect to overlap it (as you said it didn’t overlap), however, I didn’t expect it to be that narrow in the body. Doesn’t even come close to covering the middle. Also, making the sleeves without any kind of darts, does make the shoulders lay really bulky (& funny looking). Just my opinion in case others decide to make as instructed. Yes, it was very easy, but I wish I would have looked for a more developed pattern.

In order to know how much fabric I need, can You tell me how much extra fabric I need above my measurements? ie: if hips are 36″ how wide is the material? Appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks Kathy

I’ve been a Treadle Yard Goods devotee since doing my class their. The fabrics are beautiful and very high quality, but a bit on the spendy side. 🙂 I’ll have to check out SR Harris!

Thanks Nina! I love SR Harris–a designer fabric outlet in Brooklyn Park, but the fabric for the kimono came from Joann Fabrics. Where do you go for fabric?
