>>44272You will need a shitton of thread, I use cotton. If you have a kimono laying around (which would probably defeat the whole point of your question now that I think of it lol), you will want to measure and record the measurments of the lengths of each necessary length. For instance, I don't know how this shit is sewed, I imagine it's super easy since it's so long your probably just sew on the arms, but you'll want to measure the lengths and copy it onto paper. If you don't have tracing paper, take sheets of computer paper and tape them together. Then you will use whatever thread you want to use, it could be old tshirts stitched together or you can buy a roll of cotton, and you take the tracing paper and you cut your measurments out, and you form what is called a seam. The sewing's the easiest part in my opinion, it's just monotonous. Most sewing I've done has been by hand, and I personally like it.
