DirectionsAdditional cutting:

1. Cut one A in half to make two narrow long 60" pieces.

These are your front pieces. Rotate either the fronts or

back piece so that the direction of the print will be thesame on the front and back of the kimono.

2. Lay the front pieces WST and cut front neck template H

from the upper center front corners.

3. Fold the back panel in half and cut the back neck template

J from the upper center back on the fold.

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 on the B lining pieces.

5. From the top, measure down A 11-1/2" on each side and

mark. From this point, measure towards the center 7"

and mark. At the bottom corners measure toward the

center 7" and mark. Cut out this section. Repeat for the B

lining pieces

6. Lay the As and Bs on top of each other matching the side

seam. Measure 26" down from the under arm and mark

each fabric. This is the top of the side split.

Construction:

7. Join the A fronts to the A back, RST. Repeat with Bs.

8. Stitch the A fronts to the A backs from the top of the

split, up to the under arm, pivot and then down the sleeve

Repeat with the Bs. IMPORTANT: back stitch at the top

of the split and do not sew past your marks.

9. Clip into seam allowance at under arm seam.

13. Lay the band on the RS of the A Kimono matching the

raw edge to the front edge of A, pin in place all the way

from the hem around the neck curve and back down to

the hem. Clip into the neckline 3/8" approximately and

a 1/2" apart to make the curve sit flat onto the band.

14. Lay the B Kimono on the neck band D RST and pin in

place, so the neck band D is sandwiched between A and

B and matching the shoulder seams. Sew.

length.

16. Fold and press 1/2" to the WS on each side of the splits.
