For kcwc day 3, I sewed up a simple baby kimono using a free pattern from the blog, Habitual.
Very cute, although the 0-6 month size is no match for my sumo baby - she is almost overflowing the little top already.
No worries, I'll just make another in the next size up. Definitely in a more feminine print. I have a yard of Amy Butler's Lotus Morning Glory that would be perfect for this project (of course I remembered it after the fact).
This is a great pattern, because it can be easily modified - I can see it in long sleeves, sleeveless, as a dress, lined for cozy fall jacket ... endless possibilities. And how cute would it be in a knit?

What an adorable baby, and adorable kimono! I am participating in the kcwc as well. I just finished a pair of pajama shorts and pants. I hope to finish the shirt today! Thanks for sharing about the kcwc!
so cute-I am participating too-but my stuff isn't looking quite as polished lately LOL!
I love this. And it looks like it was super simple. Totally want to give it a try.
Hi-
I just popped over from Made and love your blog - the things you make are gorgeous - I think I might use your ABC cards in my kids room + you've inspired me to try and sew something this week - thanks, jenny

This is so cute! I need to get a sewing machine first... but I love your blog!
You are rocking the sewing projects this week! I've been sewing every night, but don't have a finished product to show for my efforts yet- haha! I love it that you've been actually finishing a clothing item a day. Wow!
And this top is too darn cute...
Lovely all around!
I really like the fabric you used! And it's a cute top, you are being so productive this week!
awww, your kimono came out so cute!
I've tried this pattern twice and it never comes our as cute as I want, maybe this time around done in cloud print and stars it will be adorable like yours.
Freeeeee?!?!
I just emailed her for the pattern, so stinkin' cute.
What a cutie! The top looks great. I'm also really liking your background. Is it a quilt? Did you make it?
Adorable - I love the fabric. I'm so glad you liked the pattern. By writing the pattern the way I did, my hope was to inspire all kinds of modifications, just as you listed. Love it!:)
So precious... I have that pattern to and have not tried it yet. Super easy? Or kinda time consuming?
Great fabric
Very cute old fashioned pattern...I love it! And that is one beautiful baby!!
That is so sweet! I passed on a blog award to you as we love your blog ( its okay if you don't "do" awards - some people don't but at least you know we love you! lol)
I made these Habitual kimonos for the girls and love them! I've also used the same Habitual pattern and done them in a long version made from a towel as a bathrobe. It's a great all purpose pattern
che tenerezza...
baci,
Amalia
Thank you for visiting my MaryJanesFarm blog. In answer to your question, we live in the NE corner of Wyoming - complete opposite corner from Jackson...and we're out on the plain-jane "plains".
Your baby is darling and what fun clothing she gets to wear...lovingly made by her mama. Your blog is so fresh and clean looking.
I like this week because I get to see adorable pictures of your kiddos...even though I don't sew. at all. ever. :)
Love this baby kimono!
