Make a beautiful kimono with 3 simple stitches! Watch the quick video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykSdDWzwq14
3 Step Kimono
Step 1
2 long "pashmina" scarves
Sewing machine
Matching thread
E-6000 Fray Lock
Scissors
Straight pins
Measuring tape
Step 2
Lay the scarves face to face matching the design
Mark the 1/2 way point on one side of the scarves
Pin the scarves together up to 5" before the 1/2 way point
Stitch them together using 1/2" seam allowance
*This is your center back seam
Step 3
Fold one scarf in half lengthwise (right sides together)
Measure up 19" on the open side (the side you didn't stitch)
Measure 9" across the bottom
Connect these two points with pins in a curve as shown with the little black dots
Stitch along the pins and cut out leaving 1/2" seam allowance
*This will create your sleeve and side seam
Step 4
Now repeat on the other scarf:
Fold the other scarf in half right sides together
Place the cut pieces from the first side on top for a guide
Cut along the shape and pin together
Stitch using 1/2" seam allowance
