You can make it casually with a small piece of fabric.
Let's start with this one garment.
Once the kimono is made, next is the haori.
Once you become familiar with making traditional Japanese garments, try challenging yourself by making them with linings.
It's a women's kimono with two-shaku sleeves and long sleeves.
It is an undergarment for the upper body. Choose a comfortable fabric and tailor it.
You wear it underneath the nagajuban or hadajuban. It's also fine to wear it directly under the kimono. Much more comfortable than wearing a T-shirt underneath, and even when taken off, it's a stylishly Japanese fashion statement.
A simple construction without an Okumi part. If you add strings, it becomes the upper half of a jinbei.
This pattern is perfect for those who want to enjoy the look and feel of kimono, even in the hottest seasons. Designed like a Western-style shirt with no front overlap, this garment allows for excellent airflow and avoids heavy fabric layers. It looks traditionally Japanese but feels as light and comfortable as Western clothing—possibly even cooler than a knit T-shirt.
For those who think sewing a kimono for the first time is too big, with a half-width Obi belt, you just have to cut it into a square and sew straight.
Once you've mastered the half-width (hanhaba) obi, let's try moving on to the Nagoya obi. It consists of two main parts: the body wrap and the taiko drum knot.
It's an andon bakama (skirt-type).
It's an umanori bakama (pants-type).
A sophisticated jinbei set for adults
As work clothes with a Japanese spirit, it can be used daily. It can also be used as an undergarment for kimono.
Please use it as an undergarment for kimono in the colder seasons. With pockets, it can also be paired with Western clothing and shoes. Compared to monpe, it has a more fitted silhouette.
A roomy bag that pairs well with kimono. Comes with dividers and pockets. You can freely choose the size, height, width, and depth.
