This is an easy make - the longest part is probably drafting the pattern as the book doesn't come with a paper pattern, but even then that doesn't take too muc time.Kirsty Bunfield (kbfield)http://kbfield.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008815686832698964.post-73202370616469339662014-04-23T05:26:05.220+10:002014-04-23T05:26:05.220+10:00Hi!

Was it quite quick to make (hand sewing aside) and also, how did you finish your edges inside? Do you think French seams would work on the curves on the kimono sleeves? It feels like it should be pretty on the inside too! <br /><br />Thanks!
