Does anyone have a link or suggestion to find or make a sewing
pattern for a karate student/practice uniform (? Gi ?) ?

I have googled for a karate uniform sewing pattern and found
something at ...

roundend.com
simplicity

but the patterns either say costume, which may not be suitable
for a real (Gi), or there are not alot of details nor pictures to
give an idea of whether it is the correct type or style needed
for a student/practice uniform.

and i also found many links and references to listserves , forums
or newsgroups with many people huffing and grunting about why
anyone would bother to make one ..... bla bla bla

So, i thought i would start where the people actually understand
why people sew things or at least respect the decision to do so.

I am a bit surprised there are not any free ones about as it
should be quite a simple pattern like a robe or some simple
elastic waist or draw cord pants but i can not seem to locate it.

thanks for any help
robb

You can buy one at http://www.ebogu.com/ (my son's source of choice for
judo and tae kwon do patterns) for $19 for adults or $16.50 for kids and
then use it to make a pattern if you really want an authentic one and
can't find a pattern elsewhere.

The main problem with making them yourself is making durable enough
seams to withstand stress.

Thanks for reply.
Since the existing patterns are about that same price point, it
certainly is a viable option to consider.
thanks for the link and idea

I think that a pre-graded flat-felled seam with three rows of
topstitching would do the job. I wear clothing with only two rows of
topstitching for gardening and cycling, and the main fabric gives out
before the seams do.

Thread selection would matter a lot. I buy six-ply crochet cotton
(DMC Cordonnet #100) because all current sewing cottons are only three
ply, and wear out quickly.

I'm sure Sharon H. will be along any minute, she has made
Gis for her BIL and son. In the meantime, try:

Here is a link to the Google archives of alt.sewing, you may
find useful links, I searched on "Gi" and "Author: Sharon":
