I’m going to use an old pair of cotton trousers to complete the costume. They come with a matching belt, which will work as my “kimono belt” for the tunic. A thinner, leather belt is going on top. (++)

My lovely cat is present of course, in the role of assistant manager of relaxation.

For the tabards I used two wide strips of the same fabric, which I stitched and then turned inside out. I measured them to be slightly longer than the tunic, plus allowance. I wanted to sew the small side in another way (correctly) but I was overwhelmed while working so I guess I did it as I did it anyway. They still look perfectly fine after washing and ironing.

After sewing all parts, I washed and ironed he tunic. It is complete for now but it will need ironing again!

After some fitting tests I decided to keep the tunic in a mid-thigh length. I measured it and cut the lower part of the fabric, leaving enough allowance to cover up any mistakes. i made a large bottom hem around the tunic which I then folded in half. I sew the final bottom hem loosely by hand to replace it later with a straight stitch. At both sides of the tunic, where hems meet, I preferred to stitch the corners by hand to avoid any damage to the sewing machine.
