Kimono

I have nearly finished making my kimono now, however i have come across a few problems on the way, one being very silly!

I some how managed to make a small hole near my seam whilst overlocking, therefore ive had to take it in a bit to get rid of the hole, i am sort of happy with how it looks considering.
I couldnt re do it as i dont have enough fabric to start again, which is what id have to do as the fabric is very hard to unpick with it being knitted.

As much as i like the fabric it is awful to control! when sewing it pulls away from the needle, because of how fine it is sometimes the thread comes unthreaded. and its very hard to keep the fabric pinned together because of it being holey

This caused another problem with the first sleeve i put in as i had pinned the arm hole seam and side seam together to make sure they flowed when finished, but the machine moved it so it is just off and not as in line as id like but i cant change it now.
