Q. Lines are thick. Where in this line is correct, inside, center, outside? I’m going to use it by tracing it.

In order to print out in a correct size, be careful of the following points.
Gray scale printing.
Actual Size
Vertical
Size A4
Usage
Print out all PDF files. “sode.pdf” is for sleeves and please print out 2 times for left and right.
Paste the same alphabet and nuber of each other such as “A1” and “A1” by scotch tape.
Fold edge of one side along with dotted line.
Fix the fabric and the paper pattern by marking pins.
Cut off fabric and paper pattern along with dotted line.
Necessary fabric length & width
Necessary length & width are different depending on aligning each part. So this table is the size you need at each size and at each aligning.
* Orange background parts mean width is more than 110cm. Green means width is less than 110cm.
Now, I’m going to explain the aligning in the following figures.
Migoro, Okumi, left half Base collar Sleeve, Cover collar right half Base collar (horizontal)
It’s preferable that Base collar is not separated and is horizontal.
But this aligning is what I cheated for saving fabric.
For people who want correct process without confusion, please choose the other options.
Right half Base collar is not visible when it’s worn, so it’s inclined 90 degrees.
Migoro, Okumi, Base collar Sleeve, Cover collar
If the size is small such as S, this is the most efficient aligning. On the other hand, big size such as L exceeds width 110cm, and you would need to use wider fabric.
Mgoro, Base collar Sleeve Okumi, Cover collar
Any size doesn’t exceed width 110cm. You can cut off fabrics without cheating and confusion. However, the bad point is that necessary length is long.
Printed pages
This is the table about how many pages you need to print out at each size.
Q. Lines are thick. Where in this line is correct, inside, center, outside? I’m going to use it by tracing it.

Try it on before sewing. Fix the fold on the hem by clothes pin or something.
Wear it like real coordination. Confirm the size. If the hem line is wrong, modify it to heigher or lower, and iron the hem along with the modified line.
After decided the hem line, sew straight the hem together with seam allowance.

Put together Jieri (base collar) and Kakeeri (cover collar), in the condition where the front side and the back side match. At that time, match the center line.
Match Sechushin (背中心, Center line of Migoro) and the center of collar.
Match the front side of collar and the front side of Migoro (Body).
Put marking pins.
Sew together collar and Migoro.
It’ll look like this.
A little edge of Jieri (base collar) will be left over, and this will be seam allowance.
View from the inside.
Fold the collar into half, and put marking pins. At that time, note that width of back side (inside) of the collar will be longer than the front side (outside).
N19: Sew Jieri edge
Fold edge of jieri (base collar) that was left over.
Fold it to half and put marking pins. At that time, fold it so that the back side (inside) is a little wider than the front side (outside).
Sew straight the edge of Jieri by sewing machine.
N20: Sew the opposite side of collar
Sew together the opposite side of collar from kimono’s front side (outside). Sew Migoro (Body) but sew the line really close to collar. Feel by your nail that there is collar fabric under the migoro, to confirm you’re sewing together Migoro and collar. Sew slowly.

Mitake (height from hem to shoulder) is what can most easily have error, when it comes to tailoring. I designed long seam allowance, 5cm, for hem so that you can adjust Mitake at last when you try it on.
So sew hem at last after you wear the kimono as test. For now, just iron this part.
First, fold the paper over, along with the dashed lines.
And then, form a fold on the fabric by ironing both of the fabric and paper.
N17: Iron collar
Put the paper pattern of collar on fabric, put marking pins, and cut off the fabric.
Fold only the paper pattern, and then iron both of the fabric and the paper together.
“Back side” has 3mm longer width than “Front side”. Please remember this for the time when you sew collar onto Migoro (Body).
Peal off the paper pattern.
Peal off all the paper pattern
Holes were made on the paper because you sew this by sewing machine. Now it’s easy to tear off the paper. Withdraw it along with the seam, and tear it off.
There’ll be a lot of trash.
After pealing off the paper.
