DIY Kimono Jacket + Hood
Recently, my housemate gave me some lovely mustard fabric… and this project emerged from it!
Regrettably I did not document the steps that led to the finished product. This was partially due to the fact that I was very unsure about the end result mixed with the overwhelming excitement to start the project when I arrived home with the flannel lining.
I have however, documented the steps via drawings and photos I took post project for your benefit. I hope you can understand them.
Tools:
- Outer Fabric – 2 metres to 3 metres
- Lining Fabric – 2 Metres to 3 Metres
- Sewing Machine
- Overlocker (optional) – I finished my se
ams with an overlocker, but it is not necessary
#Note: Amount of fabric will depend on your measurements and desired outcome
Tutorial:
I created an extremely basic pattern based on my own measurements which means that it is quite simple for you to create your own!
This is how I created the general jacket shape.
I then created a sash/belt and sewed it to the back of the jacket. If you happen to have a belt that would match your creation perfectly, that would be suitable as well.
I was thinking about creating another belt made of leather/faux leather so there may a proper belt tutorial coming to you soon!

This is fantastic! I’m totally giving it a go. Is the mustard fabric a jersey material?
Its more of a stiff knit. You could use jersey, but it won’t as co-operative.
great DIY!

This looks really cute, like a casual Jedi or a yellow Little Red Riding Hood
I really want to make one!
Give it a try, I swear it will be fun
I made this today and lined with flannel, except I used pure wool to make it a real winter cosy x Thanks for the pattern, made my day so productive!
I’m so glad you made it! The best part is that the pattern is so basic, everything is really based on your own measurements and your own fancy of how long or loose you want the garment to be.

i dont get tht fabric 2-3 m thingy????
You will need about 2 to 3 metres of any fabric depending on your own measurements. If you want a longer jacket or a bigger hood or longer sleeves, you will need more fabric.
