M KIMONO sewing lessons
M KIMONO is an online kimono sewing school based in Japan. We hope to share the joy of kimono sewing with people around the world.
The articles include a glossary of terms, descriptions of sewing tools, and hand-sewing techniques. We also emphasize the importance of conveying the ancient Japanese tradition of kimono sewing as it has been since ancient times: the entire process is done by hand, the seam allowance is not cut off, and the garment is changed from a kimono to a haori.
