This three-quarter length kimono-style jacket originated in the 20th century as an over-kimono coat that was worn for extra warmth and\/or protection while out and about. Its low, square neckline was designed to attractively frame the overlapping neckbands of the kimono and under-kimono worn underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the michiyuki is also worn as a dressy overcoat, casual coat-dress, and artist’s or work smock, perfect for studio or garden tasks. Lengthened and made out of water-repellant fabric, it also functions as a raincoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern features a double-breasted front opening, kimono-style sleeves that are large enough to fit over a kimono underneath, a narrow neck band with mitred corners, and a handy pocket hidden in the front seam. Covered buttons are decorative only; snap fasteners attach the overlapping front panels, so no buttonholes are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/strong\u003e (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.

Lightweight silk or cotton for the lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe michiyuki is typically made from unpatterned fabrics with a woven-in design or texture, such as brocade. This is so the garment does not clash with the more elaborate designs of the underlying kimono. However, some michiyuki fabrics have all-over designs like small checks or narrow stripes. Satin gives a more formal, dressy look. Microfibres and treated fabrics are good for a raincoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003eYardages given are for fabrics with or without nap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOuter: 45″ (115 cm) wide fabric: 3 - 3 3\/4 yd (2.6 - 3.4 m) \/\/ 60″ (150 cm) wide fabric: 2 3\/8 - 2 1\/2 yd (2.2 - 2.3 m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLining: 45″ (115 cm) wide fabric: 2 3\/4 - 3 3\/4 yd (2.5 - 3.4 m) \/\/ 60″ (150 cm) wide fabric: 2 1\/8 - 2 1\/2 yd (1.9 - 2.3 m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS - 2XL (approx.
