Question

Can I use a sewing needle?

Community Answer

Yes, but it will take a lot longer than a sewing machine. Make sure to firmly secure your stitches so that it doesn't come undone. (I've made this mistake myself.)

Question

What if I don't have a sewing machine?

Community Answer

You can use a needle and thread, but try to keep your stitches even and straight, and plan ahead, as this will take much longer to sew by hand.

Question

I don't understand your measurements, why cm?

The metric system is most commonly used worldwide; the USA still uses inches, feet, yards. You can convert to inches, though, if inches/feet /yards feels more comfortable to you.

Question

Can I use this pattern and alter it to make a yukata?

Air Gordons

Community Answer

A yukata is made the same way but without the robe underneath. So, yes, you can make a yukata the same way.

How do the measurements of the wearer factor in?

Community Answer

The wearer's measurements determine the size of the kimono and the amount of fabric needed if you are making it.
