Shrine maiden Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

This is a free sewing pattern and tutorial for a Shinto shrine maiden top (miko jacket), designed with seam allowances (S/A) included for beginners.

The basic structure is similar to a kimono, but with differences in the sleeve design and a simplified double-layer collar for easier sewing.

This pattern is for the top only. For the bottom, pair it with our shrine maiden hakama skirt or hakama pants pattern, depending on your preference.

Since this is a simplified version, those wishing to make an authentic traditional miko outfit should refer to a Japanese kimono sewing guide.

If the fabric is thin or lacks structure, apply fusible interfacing to the collar area for better shape and durability.

After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, cut along the edges, and the pattern is ready to use. All patterns include seam allowances (S/A) for immediate sewing.

The production process is explained with translation software.

This pattern is only for a simple miko costume for cosplay.

If you want to make a full-fledged miko costume, please refer to a Japanese sewing book.

Also, since it is a simplified version, it is not lined.
