How to/ Draft 📐✏️Cut and Sew🪡🧵 a Kimono Jacket with Chiffon and Ankara //Detailed Tutorial

Жыл бұрын

In this tutorial I shared the common mistake we make while drafting the Kimono Jacket.
Our Front and Back Armhole level is never the same.
Stop using the same height for the two.
For example, if u use 9" for the front and back armhole level, this is wrong🚫. There is always a 1 inch or 1.5 inches difference between the two depending on your size.
I hope this tutorial was helpful to you.

Hello. Thanks so much for this in-depth tutorial. I am going to follow this to make a kaftan. I have heavy duty, kind of stiff satin with no stretch at all for the borders of the sleeve and front opening. Do you suggest I cut the strips lengthwise from the fabric or at the bias. I want to turn neatly around the lapels and where the v of the neckline meets and down. Thank you.

@amacoutures Жыл бұрын

You are welcome. Thanks for the feedback. I suggest u don't cut on a bias. In this other tutorial, I shared how to achieve a neat lapel and how to cut and sew that slightly v shaped area. Here is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrWWq7B-t52waJ8.html

Love ur method. So precise. Wanted to ask u, if u added seam allowance to d one n a half back shoulder as u did in d front shoulder.

@amacoutures Жыл бұрын

Thank u so much. Yes I did. The one and half plus seam allowance. If u are using half inch as seam allowance u will have 2 inches in total

The 2 inches you added at the back are they the ones that helps to not keep pulling?

@amacoutures Жыл бұрын

Yes.....the 2" is with seam allowance 1/2 inch. The height of our back armhole is always higher than the front. If u cut on the same level for the front and back, your hands will always be on your dress from adjusting it. The same thing applies to shirts and jackets. You can watch my tutorial on how to draft the basic bodice for different sizes with the right neck measurement, armhole levels, and bust dart level on my channel.

Thanks for the video maaaam. I have problems with attaching the lapel. It's smooth when you start nd at some point, it starts folding with much gallops 😢. What do I do

@amacoutures Жыл бұрын

U are welcome, dear. At the place where ur v neckline meets, go in by 0.25" from d centre front and try and smooth out that place so that it doesn't curve in... slightly slanted.

What is the size of this kimono? Can you make a tutorial of x large basic bodice

@amacoutures Жыл бұрын

I'm a size M but when I made this tutorial I was a size L , i was 8 months postpartum. The kimono goes 4 a size M, and L. For an L size will just be exactly the way it is on me in the video and for an M fits as well cos I still rock mine. For an Xtra large size bodice, the only thing holding it is a model. I like to show how the bodice sits on the body. I don't know if some will like without a model or with a model.

Ok I think I got you now but looks like you added seam allowance only to the front shoulder panel. Just wondering why you didn't add to the back shoulder piece. Also forgive me for telling you you impatient; I take it back pls. Tanx as I look forward to hearing from you. 😀

@amacoutures Жыл бұрын

No it's fine dear, I didn't take it personal and thanks for pointing dat out cos i didnt knw d videos are fast, maybe I will make my videos à little slower. For the seam allowance, I added on the back as well, if u listen well 2 d voice-over u will hear dat I mentioned it. 1.5" raise on the back plus 0.5" seam allowance making it 2" in total 😊 U can also watch my Basic bodice block on my channel to get a better understanding and why it's important to balance up the armhole levels. Don't hesitate to ask if u have more questions😊
