kimono robe or not
Three Choices but only 2 1/8 yds fabric
I cut out the kimono, but could not make myself sew it without the banding.... so I bought both black and dark blue banding to see which I wanted to see...Three quarter kimono, 1 1/2 yds for banding and belt.... and 1 yard of interfacing (midweight)---again, I used the costume kimono - adjusted for height and size by using the width I wanted shortening the sleeves for a shorter person before attaching the banding and shortening the pattern pieces for the length asked for to make a nice robe.
Sewing the kimono was pretty simple because it was just two baggy sleeves and two pieces for the front and the back piece, I did put the fronts and back together before I inset the sleeves, and that was easy for me, but easy for you is do it the way the pattern says and sew the shoulders, the the sleeves on the top edge and just sew the sleeve all the down the side of the dress.
