Oh WOW! I fretted that this would not work! But as I sit here typing, I am wearing mine! I love it. I wrote the instructions down, and it turned out so beautifully! Now I want to make another one to wear for dress. You are special to be able to do this without a pattern and your instructions are plain, not difficult. I used a challis in turquoise with butterflies all over. It falls nicely. And every time someone new sees it I get compliments and a "I want one"
Oh my God.... I just can't believe how some people can be so rude. I am not the type of person to comment on things, but that made me so sad and angry at the same time. I mean if you don't like this tutorial, it's okay. You are not forced to, just don't watch it or keep your rude thoughts or jealousy or whatever it is to yourself.... But I mean... are you really blind?? Dina did not even HAVE TO share this awesome tutorial with us... But she was so kind and she put that effort and time in doing this tutorial so we have the possibility to make such an awesome Kimono by ourselves as well - and all you can do is hate?? Really??? Why can't we just appreciate good deeds..? :( Whatever... Thank you Dina for the tutorial... I hope I'll try it out soon... I hope you do more tutorials like this one...
At last! A simple Kimono tutorial 🤷♀️ I thrifted a gorgeous cotton lace tablecloth and I’ve been looking for an easy tutorial to make a summer kimono 👘. Great explanations, can’t wait to get started 😃 Thank You ☺️
This was so good i was actually thinking about making one just didn't no how to cut the style out Mash Allah this was fantastic defo do more DIY. Also congratz on the baby May Allah swt make your child a righteous and pious Muslim Ameen.
I know this is 4 years late, but i just had an idea. Rather than cut away the triangle that you did (at 8:56) when you were sectioning out the sleeves, you could just leave the triangles folded in, sew them to the body, then sew across the triangle to creat a trapezoid pocket. So there’s a pocket on the inside of the jacket. Not sure if that makes sense. You could also do this on the outside instead, but i like hidden compartments. Lol I am going to ty this one day. Great tutorial.
I love how chill you are! Easy to follow, good instructions! All in all: loved this vid! Thank you! :D (and yes, I have a kaftan in the making because of this vid!)
Making a kimono style cuddle fleece robe, and wanted the most simple effective design possible. Shall slightly curve for the underarm and double over instead of cutting off the centre four inches, get the length right and I think it will be perfect. Was amazed to see from your video how well this pattern naturally falls and starts to overlap in the front, have studied traditional clothes construction and this pattern seems to follow the same principles. Thanks so much for the method which is brilliant.
HI Dina! U're such a big inspiration for me! For the person who r and for the profession who r in! Thank u. And I am blessed to have come across ur beautiful channel.
Beautiful! The first time I saw it on your lookbook and I thought it was bought! I am fashion grad but lost touch or interest with sewing my own garments until I saw THIS: it's an inspiration Dina. Thank you. Jazakallah.
Although the end product wasn't entirely something I'd like, I loved the easy to follow explanation. I'll be trying this with a few alterations inshaAllah. Thanks Dina, please do more of these videos! x
this was amazing like literally - it's so amazing how much effort you have put into this and Masha'Allah it's soo well explained. hopefully I will make this one day because it looks great :)
randomly came across this...might make one for the Mrs. She has a sewing machine - and this doesn't look too difficult. I wonder how simple or complicated it will be to turn this into a thobe (for myself)...hmm
This was a good turorial! My mum knows how stitch everything you can imagine. And i know none. Im gna make her proud with this as soon as i get some fabric!! Thank you
Thank you so so so much for this Dina! I've been wanting to buy abayas like those for a long time but they are so expensive! I'm going to try making one in shaa Allah thanks again!
just watched your video and i honestly cant wait till morning so i can ask my mum to take me fabric shopping so i can make one...you make it look very easy Masha'Allah and i hope mine looks as good as yours
Thank you so much Dina ! Really barak allah fyk 😊😊 I've been begging my sister to get me one for eid but there isn't really ones where I live !😭 But this so helpful so now me and my mom can do is as a fun project and thank god we have a sewing machine😍😍 really Thank you so much😊😊
I'm definitely going to try this! I've seen other DIY kimono videos and they aren't as good at instructing as you are. You did an amazing job in explaining what to do and showing it. Thank you so much Dina! I'll definitely be watching out for more DIY's from you! Bless you x
Subhanallah! Currently blown away ahaha. Thank you so much! This has eased so many worries. May Allah ease your days with so much light as you have mine. Ameen.
This is amazing. The tutorial was put together well. Dina you explained in such a way that was easy to follow and understand. Especially for beginners like me. Please upload some more vids similar to this. You're the best at it :)
Dina!!!! Do more DIYs!!! I miss that about you. Your very handy & I want to see what else you can do with your hands! Maybe teach us how to make maxi scarves with tassels or circle scarves! I love scarves! Love you!
Dying over the fabric! I recently saw an abaya from Dubai that I loved but they dont have a website. The abaya looks like its a linen mix with pastels and neutrals. I am looking up fabric right now to make my own. Reminds me so much of my Kimono Cardigan video. Props for doing it in 13 minutes haha i have 3 videos and each are 15-20 min. haha oh goodness.
Love thiiiiss. I've looked everywhere for a simple kimono tutorial and they all confused me although they literally say the same stuff you did hahaha I don't know why but I only understood your version 😊 oh and love to see someone who isn't a pinning nazi (that's how we call the people who pin literally ever mm down) 😂
So happy thats exactly what i was looking for, i need à long kimono for this summer but i cannot find one here in France, i will try your tutorial but with a lighter material
Thank you Dina :) really appreciate the effort of all this during Ramadan for us viewers. I pray for yours and baby's health and happiness. Will be attempting this kaftan for my mum as a gift for Eid InshA 😊 stay beautiful ... Love from Melbourne 😘😘
This is possibly the most crucial DIY this year with kimonos/kaftans being so in fashion and expensive. You made it so easy to follow too Dina thank you!

Thanks Dina! This was so easy to follow! My friend wants us to wear Kimonos to her wedding and I've had a hard time finding a good one in the shops because I want it to be loose and float but I have very broad shoulders, so I'm going the DIY route instead!
I love this so much and cannot wait to try it out I really loved how u explained everything so clearly and also the part where Chaplin interrupted in the video he looked so cute 💖👏🏽👏🏽 xx
