I love that kimono-ish tunic look! Flattering AND comfortable - that’s hard to beat.
Here’s a round-up of six of the latest kimono-like sewing patterns. If you find more that aren’t on this list, let me know and I’ll add them.

Hi! My name is Jennifer. I’m big and crafty. I’m also tired of seeing only itty-bitty crocheted bikinis, cropped sweaters, and skinny clothes when I look for knitting, crochet and sewing patterns. Give me a break!
I made this site because I want to see all of the plus-size patterns options in one place. I don’t actually have time to craft much since I work full time and have a toddler. But I love to fantasize about what I would make if it did have the time.
I hope you find this site useful. Please send me any feedback - it will help me focus my efforts. I work on this site in the mornings before I go to the office. By day I’m Director of Product Design (basically Interaction Design or “making things easy to use”) for an online advocacy solutions company. In the evenings I chase my toddler around the house to get my daily dose of laughs and giggles.
I have a personal blog at blueskyday.com.
Take care,
Jennifer
I love that style, too! I have several store bought dresses in that style and a blouse from Lane Bryant. Some comfy and flattering, can be dressed up or down. Can’t go wrong with that!
