DIY Kimono Sleeve Wrap Top | EASY Sewing Tutorial

[@alexiscrumer8811]

Literally why does every other video make this top look SO CONFUSING and DIFFICULT?!? I even waited till I watched and made this top myself before commenting and wow it was so fast and simple ❤

[@ElodieSll]

Just made it and looks great! I am learning to sew and it only took me about three hours. Thank you.

[@katsthread]

Yep, it's super fast! Tag me @katsthread on Instagram if you end up posting photos!

I tried this and it worked! I did not want any midriff exposure and the remnant I was working with *was* too short for me, so I added a piece of patterned fabric to the bottom and it worked out great. Also made the ties in the patterned fabric, too. I think mine does give that kimono vibe with the two fabrics, but overall, I'm pretty pleased. The main fabric I used was a sage green linen and the add-on fabric was a scrap William Morris patterned cotton.and the draping is really terrific! Thanks!!! :-) Happy to have used up some of the fabric stash!

[@thedarkestsunn]

This looks sooo pretty! I wanted a wrap too but all the tutorials were so hard and this was a great alternative!!! Definitely want to try this in learning to sew in quarantine and you explained so well!!

[@katsthread]

Thank you so much!! Hope you try it out :)

[@eatenkate]

Was looking for something to take on holiday in case i don't want constant sun on my shoulders, and this was *exactly* what i needed. 2 hours well spent, thanks!

[@jenniferfung283]

Thanks for this tutorial. I recently naturally dyed some silk fabric and think I will turn it into this. I'll keep you posted on how it comes out.

[@sharonnibbs1301]

You're really good at giving simple straightforward instructions. Thanks so much for this vid!

[@mayamac1168]

This was my first sewing project and it was so easy and fun!!! I did have a mini breakdown trying to figure out how to tie it though

[@alix3691]

how did you tie it?

[@Tquig]

Also mid breakdown trying to figure out how to tie it correctly…🙃 how do you tie it?

[@enviasinez]

Thanks for this ❤️ it’s my first time making a clothing piece from scratch and it was really easy to follow. Btw, The top was really bunchy at the back so I added some back darts and heightened the armpit curve area to make it more form-fitting. 🧵

[@zofiapiwowar7782]

Omg I love this! I would totally try to do it. This top is so beautiful 😍😍

[@katsthread]

If you try it out, tag me on Instagram @katsthread and I'll repost!

[@wendynicholss6886]

I love this, I am going to make it and attach a gathered skirt to make it into a dress!! Thanks.

[@denisedarland3345]

I have an old flannel sheet and I wanted to do something with it. I decided to make pajamas out of it. I got a pattern for the pants but wanted something easy to make the shirt. I think this is going to be perfect. :) I'm excited. I love how you gave instructions on how to measure it. That is super helpful. Thank you. :)

[@Oonagh72]

OMG! ABC! and123! For ever I have searched for a bolero jacket. This is exactly what I need. I don’t even sew and think I can do this! Thanks so very much.

[@chadalakhussey1919]

It's look very easy. I will try.

[@annad8399]

Just 3 inches short of fabric but it's a stretchy fabric so I hope I can make it work. This is the only tutorial I found that i think I can easily do in an afternoon and that's cute

[@anjurajk9134]

[@katsthread]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@anunepal4648]

wow very nice🤗😍

[@maudjoyal6014]

Hi ! I just finished sewing the sleeves and I have a question. I understand how to sew the ties but then when you wear the top how do you attach it? Is one ties going under the fabric? >

[@fiddleleaf9336]

We need more videos!

[@madisonparker7560]

At 3.14, what do you mean with the right sides up? thanks heaps loving this video!

[@gabyrosano1963]

Hermoso 💙

[@a.r.3476]

Thanks for the instructions. I really like the blouse, and am thinking of doing this as knitwear. Have you ever tried that? I also think the cut would look great in a soft, drapey fabric too.

[@katsthread]

I haven’t tried that but I agree that I think it would work in both those fabrics! Let me know if you end up trying

[@gasp3245]

how do i make the sleeves more longer i am new to stitching and i wanna make a cosplay wrap top with long sleeves please HELP !!!! 😭😭😭

[@japansvelra7135]

hello, could you make a video for full lenghgt sleeve

[@poulami1107]

Loved your top, had a question, how much fabric did you use?

[@cintiaaraujo7899]

❤️

[@shivanichoudhry3723]

Thank you for the lovely tutorial. Do the straps effectively stop a peek-a-boo if one were to increase the length of the top?

[@sommerk]

Hey! Which fabric are you using? Thanks

[@ijayashree]

Would like to see a tutorial on a longer wrap top that one can wear with a jeans/ trousers may be. Thanks

[@katsthread]

Will consider for a future video! Thanks for your suggestion!

[@dysfunctional_being]

What type of fabric should I use ?

[@isidorahenriquez3072]

We got the same sewing machine! I was wondering what kind of hem/setting is the one in the inside that joins both rectangles? If that make sense? I’m new to sewing. Thanks

[@reslymasicampo8772]

Is 1 yard will do?

[@shuyen7746]

Can I not cut the fabric into 2 pcs and instead cut it up to the 13 inches mark? 🤔

[@katsthread]

Yes, I think that should work too! Let me know how it goes if you try it.

[@kaellaangan4544]

Hiii can i use stretchy fabric for this?:)

[@katsthread]

Hi! Depends on how stretchy....the structure of the wrap top most likely won't hold with fabric that is too stretchy

[@sylviarnol2625]

can this be made in silk fabric?

[@katsthread]

Yes! It would give it a flowier look, but I think it would look really nice with silk fabric!

[@felianahyuneh1664]

This is nice but i dont understand if there is no description and the measurement statment

[@sarabeha8676]

hi can I do this with poplin fabric?

[@katsthread]

I’m not an expert but I think it would work with poplin!

[@barbaraplescia5435]

It wasn't easy for me. My length was 46 inches and I only had 42 inches to work with. I turned out to short and bulky in the top back. I'd like to see you turn around so I can see the back of the top! Im not giving up yet!

[@suzanne6344]

Hi! How to follow the tutorial when you’re from the EU? We measure in cm and I already had before that dividing etc leeds to too big measurements... also calculating from inch to cm didnt lead to the right measurements. Can anybody help? :)

[@floramcarthurarbuckle9695]

Email Boris! See if he can channel his inner European and play nice 😉 x

[@jeffstrong4580]

Kimono was introduced to Japan by Korean monk as funeral clothing in plain tan material color which Japenise copied it to make it into their own clothing with coloring because they had none.

[@favourxx]

looks so easy but mine looks weird 😭

[@katsthread]

let me know what the issue is and I will try my best to help!

[@appel_sin]

Tried it as my first thing to sew. The back looks weird 🥴

[@floramcarthurarbuckle9695]

Could not 'simply' (she says as a novice make the tie the full length of the calculations ie 58 inches then place it 'off centre' 😉 🤔

[@basncbasncbasnc956]

dikiş makinesine bak yazıklarolsun lan

[@screwyou1199]

Has anyone tried to make this with full length sleeves?
