Clothes and Accessories Made from Old Kimonos from 1g = 0.5 JP Yen – Diy Soho – Miyo Yoshida

Over 220,000 YouTube subscribers! Diy Soho Handmade Warehouse presents how to make clothes and accessories made of old fabrics easily, even for beginners.

In this book, you will learn how to buy, untie, wash, and sew old kimono fabrics with easy-to-understand explanations and photos.
Kimono fabrics have a fixed width, so once they are untied, sewing them is easier than sewing Western-style fabrics.

The author has also eliminated complicated methods of making kimonos to the utmost limit, making it easy even for beginners.

The lowest price for old kimono that the author bought as material at recycle stores and antique markets was 1g = 0.5 yen. Since a single kimono weighs less than 1 kg, some materials can be bought for less than 500 yen.

The work shown on the cover was also created using old materials purchased for 1,000 to 1,500 yen.

● Includes a pattern for the collar, underarms, and other parts of the garment that can be used in various ways! The popular round-bottomed bag pattern from the video is also included.
