Hello, Shaffer0106 -

You may be hoping that a volunteer answerer for Fixya will see your question and will also have a pattern and instructions for Simplicity 8318, Misses', Men's, and Teen's Kimono Costume.

I doubt that will happen.

Therefore, I suggest you contact Simplicity directly. The company has a toll free phone number (US and Canada) for asking sewing and pattern questions:
888-588-2700
Monday - Friday
8:45 AM - 4:45 pm (Eastern Time)

Or, you can take the pattern instructions and the relevant cut out pattern pieces to a nearby sewing supplies store and ask one of the sales people to help explain the construction directions to you.

Best wishes.

If the pattern instructs you to place the pattern on the fold, the folded fabric should be kept whole (do NOT cut the fold!).

You can probably contact Simplicity with your questions.

...

The pattern and instructions should designate (ie A, B, C...) for the robe or nightshirt. Be sure to use the pattern pieces that signify the nightshirt and ignore the pieces for the robe (be careful though, some parts of the pattern may be used for both). Then be sure to follow the instructions that apply specifically to the nightshirt. Somewhere in the pattern paperwork, perhaps the back of the envelope, there is a breakdown of what pieces you need for which pattern. Also, make sure to lay the pattern pieces out on the fabric as shown, otherwise you will get fabric cut on a crossgrain which will make your garment hang funny.

You may want to check out some books from the library for beginning sewing projects or look for sewing tutorials on the internet.

According to this, the knee-length nightshirt is labeled as "A." The very beginning of the pattern instructions should show pictures of how to lay out the pattern pieces on the fabric.

Perhaps these instructions will help:

Usually, there are more than one or two pieces printed on a pattern sheet. Look around some more. Also, check that the same pattern piece isn't used for more than one fabric piece.

...

usually the pattern is altered below the armpit area. Lengthening requires either tracing the piece and adding additional length by sliding the pattern piece the required amount. OR but cutting and adding in a piece of paper and retracing the cut lines.
