Kimono+
@kimonoplus.bsky.social
I make plus size kimono, yukata, juban, and haori's. Currently not doing commissions.
The latest kimono is done! Is it Goth, Beetlejuice, or both?
I'm wearing it with a black obi, but red also looked quite good.
I can imagine if you want to lean into Beetlejuice or Halloween a green obi would work too.

Last day of Pride Month and I realize I never shared this Yukata from last year. I divided the pieces up to look like a pan flag. When I finally start selling and doing commissions I plan on having a flag series.
I nearly died in that heat.

It's done! This is a comfortable kimono made from fabric imported from Japan.
The obi is not made by me, but I will be making more obis soon. Pink and red go best with this one.
I will be selling this one for $350.

The sushi Yukata is finally finished. I'm wearing it with a red obi, but I think an orange one would look a little better.
This one will probably be on sale at next year's Cherry Blossom Festival.

I will never go back to pins. These clips hold the fabric in place so much better and smoother and they're far less likely to fall out nor will they hurt the fabric.
I can't believe I didn't buy these earlier.

More new fabric. A future goth kimono perhaps? I'm thinking with a skull or pure black obi.

Found an amazing website that sells fabric from Japan. I'm so excited to get started on these, but I have to finish another kimono I'm working on first.

Finished my latest kimono AND made my first obi!
The two don't exactly go together, but I wanted to show them both off at the same time.

Almost finished! I haven't had time to work on it over the past couple of days. I'm sure I'll be able to finish it over the weekend. I can't wait to wear this one.

I was working on a Flareon kimono, but have decided to set it to the side for a convention next year.
I decided to work on this cool fabric I found at Joanne's for cheap. I'm hoping to make the pattern seamless from front to back.

Went to the Cherry Blossom fest on Sat and it was amazing! Great seeing @kimono.bsky.social They were the only ones selling kimono accessories!
My own Yukata was a huge hit and I even spoke Japanese (very terribly) to a woman.
I think this may have been the best Cherry Blossom fest I have been to.

The initial obi I wanted to use for this Yukata didn't end up working out, but I think I found a good combo with this orange one I bought more recently.
I really need solid color obis! Hoping to find some at the festival.

I improved with each project, but I still have a long way to go. Hopefully I can get a new sewing machine and make even more professional looking pieces. Here's a pic of the fireworks Yukata, since I never uploaded it here.

This was my first kimono. I used a pattern and it was a total mess. Didn't fit me, wasn't long enough for a kitsuke, and I didn't even know how to do a french seam.
It's now been three years since I started making kimonos. It's insane how far I've come along in that time.

Oh my god I made a hood (not finished)
Never made a hood before. Have I ever mentioned that I struggle to imagine 2D things in 3D spaces?
That makes patterns incredibly difficult for me.

My latest project. A Michiyuki inspired winter coat. Michiyuki are traditionally raincoats to be worn over a kimono. I plan on including a hood and lining the bottom, sleeves, and hood with white faux fur.

I gotta remember to post here. Finished my Luigi yukata in time for Halloween. I used a question block for the obidome. I was initially going to do yellow circles as the crests on the shoulder, but I wasn't sure if I could pull it off.

I haven't updated this in quite a while. I'm still making kimonos! Here's one I finished last month for the local Moon Viewing Festival.

I just won this beauty. It will be my first full body art silk kimono. I'm both terrified and excited to work on it.

The latest kimono is finished! I'm really proud of this one. I kept the collar open to give myself a better feeling of control on the size. This is the most professional looking kimono I've made so far.
