WOW! I know this is an old post, but OMG! Well worth the cursing, whining, and vows of "I'm NEVER going to do THIS again". And coupled with the fact you can wear it correctly...I'm completely jealous.
Wonderful stuff here!

When you wear these together, do the sleeves get tucked in to the other? I have taken in interest in kimono, but the how to's of wearing them are a little lost on me.

Yep, you tuck the sleeves into each other. If you're interested in learning to wear kimono, the kitsuke sections on these two forums are very helpfull: [link] and [link]

hmm what kind of fbric did you use? that is soo beautiful! and just out of curiosity isn't it usually a kakeshita that bride's wear for their wedding with the uchikake?

Thanks! This kimono was sewn from vintage kimono silk, with silk and cotton lining (the gold part is cotton). Yes kakeshita is one of the names for the "bride's furisode" which is worn under the uchikake. Bride's furisode are also sometimes referred to as honfurisode.

LOL! Aren't those outfits the worst!? I kept promising the thing, "Iif you just behave, you'll be really pretty when you're finished." Of course, it didn't listen. XD

Stunning fabric! You seem to be very lucky when it comes to finding just the right fabrics for your kimonos ^__^
Beautifully made! Did you sew it all on the machine? I've not been sure whether I should sew a large one by hand or on the machine!!

Thanks! I have good sources for fabric. *is a silkaholic*
Have you seen Ichiroya's website? They're one of the best sources of Japanese fabric I've found. [link]
This kimono was done mostly by machine, but there are certain parts that pretty much have to be done by hand (the collar and closing the front panels mostly - but I also attached the sleeves by hand too). They say, that a truly good kimono will be sewn entirely by hand. Every kimono I've seen from Japan has been hand sewn. I use the sewing machine mostly because I loath the fabric puckering that occurs when I hand sew.

Well, there are many fabrics that can work for kimono. I hope this one works well for you! 6 metres for $30? NICE!

Well, I had two choices. Sit at home and be bored out of my mind, or sit at home and sew an uchikake... So I sewed an uchikake. XD
