For the second installment of \u201cSewing Boot Camp<\/a>\u201d I voted to make a kimono for my goddaughter\u2019s baptism<\/a> gift and of course one for my darling as well.\u00a0\u00a0 After Dacia made one (to test out so she could be a better teacher), she thought it would make a cute kimono dress.\u00a0 I agreed and so we proceeded with the project.\u00a0 It was super easy, and I actually (proudly) made Mikayla\u2019s all by myself.\u00a0 Go me!\u00a0 I didn\u2019t get any shots of Molly in hers, but maybe her mommy could send me some.\u00a0 I used a pattern tutorial (from this<\/a> website, just email her), made the length five inches longer and at an angle instead of straight down.\u00a0 Here are what the measurements looked like for a 6-9 month dress and 12-24 month dress (I hope this isn\u2019t too confusing).<\/p>\n

Make one of these (this will be the back of the dress)<\/em><\/p>\n

(Make two of these one for right side and one for left so you will need to flip the pattern.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Measurements for 6-9 \/ 12-24 month dress (all measurements in inches):<\/p>\n

A \u2013 17.5 \/ 20<\/p>\n

B \u2013 5.5 \/ 6.25<\/p>\n

C \u2013 3.5 \/ 4<\/p>\n

D \u2013 14 \/ 15<\/p>\n

E \u2013 10.5 \/ 12<\/p>\n

F \u2013 2.25 \/2.25<\/p>\n

G \u2013 Connect corner of C to end of F<\/p>\n

H \u2013 6 \/ 7<\/p>\n

I \u2013 13 \/ 14<\/p>\n

J \u2013 7.5 \/ 10.5<\/p>\n

In addition to these three pieces you will need 1\/2 inch bias tape (66 \/ 70 inches).\u00a0 We had a great time putting these together.\u00a0 Here are a few shots of the final products.<\/p>\n
