Kimono Jacket Pattern - Supplies

• Fabric - I used lightweight quilting cotton which gave nice results. It looks best in fabrics that drape and are not too stiff.
  • Sizes 2 to 7 - 1 yard of fabric.
  • Sizes 8 to 14 - 1 ¼ yards of fabric
• Optional - Lace to decorate the bottom and the sleeves. Choose soft lace that won't scratch.

Sew the Free Kimono Jacket Pattern

Step 1: Seams

With RIGHT sides together, stitch the fronts to the back at the shoulder seams and side seams. Make sure you match the notches and sew with a ½ inch (12mm) seam allowance.

Finish the seams, so they don't fray. If you don't have a serger read my article on seam finishes without a serger. A great alternative is to use a wide zig-zag stitch to stop the seams from fraying.

Step 2: Sleeve Hems

On the WRONG side, press the sleeve hems up by ¼ inch (6mm) and then ¼ inch (6mm) again. Stitch around the hems. It is easiest if you use the free arm on your sewing machine.

Step 3: Neck Ham

Hem around the neckline and bottom with a double fold hem of ¼ inch (6mm) seam allowance also.

Step 4: Decorate

If you really want your top to look fancy then add some lace to the sleeves and bottom. In my sample, I used a 2 inch (5cm) cotton lace on the bottom only.
