imakedollclothesMore of a proof of concept since it's made from a second-hand sheet rather than anything fancy. Collar and obi are made from ribbon that's otherwise a bit wide for dollclothes, so good that I found a use for it.
Here is Manuella modelling it:
I've wanted to make a kimono for me dolls since I started sewing (all of... a week or so ago?) but while there's a free pattern online I couldn't make head nor tail of it. This time I used this tutorial, which is quite easy to follow. This video gave me some guidance on tying the obi.
Problem: unless I sew and cut a bit cleverly the doll has to be tied into the outfit each time. I'll think on how to deal with that. But I am quite happy with the result overall.
There is quite a lot of sewing round edges, which is not the most exciting aspect of sewing. I think the pleasure of having made it makes up for that though.
