Floral Kimono

Last summer I wanted to make myself a kimono but instead I made one for my daughter since I didn't have enough floral fabric.
The fabric I used was soft and thin great for spring/summer in AZ. I really wanted the hem to have a beautiful finish lucky for me I found this delicate lace trim that was a match in heaven with the floral fabric.

I think adding the lace to the hem of the kimono gave it a romantic feel. I absolutely loved it and wished it was mine instead lol. For the pattern I took down my daughter's measurements chest, waist, neck, and desired arm length. The pattern ended up being a dolman front and back. Pretty basic and simple to cut and sew. I laid the fabric on the fold so no seams at the shoulder only on the sides. The neck was sewn with bias binding tape. The sleeves and front opening were hemmed 1/4". 


Here's the final product, kimonos are a fun way to jazz up your wardrobe. Just add a simple tank and shorts underneath, let the kimono take your outfit to the next level. You can even use the kimono for a beach cover up! Go make yourself some fun kimonos try sheer fabrics and different fun trims such as pom poms or fringe. 


Here's my daughter wearing her kimono She looked adorable! Still keeping an eye on similar floral fabrics for myself I would love a matching mommy and me. 


Hope you enjoy this post and it inspires you yo sew a kimono for you or your Lil darling.

Boxy Charm/February Unboxing+Review

It's BoxyMail Time, this month's theme is Galaxy Glow. It is definitely giving me all the Space Jams vibes. If you aren't familiar with BOXYCHARM it is a beauty subscription for $21 a month. Usually you get 5-6 full size products! Based on the theme I thought that the products were going to be vibrant, glowy, or have a neon effect. There were so many variations on their IG that I was not sure if I was going to like this month's box.

Women's Watches: Where to Shop for Unique Timepieces

Tick tock, tick tock. Time is slowly creeping up and I'm making sure to make the most out of it. As a mommy of two, I stop and stare at my two beautiful daughters I began to reminisce on the day they were both born. Oh such tiny little babies they were and all I can think is poof they've grown in a blink of an eye. I am soaking up every moment and making memories with them because I want them to always remember all the good TIMES we've experienced. Thanks to JORD on my wrist, it is a daily reminder to cherish my precious time. JORD is based in St. Louis. They design sophisticated watches with mix of natural, and largely re-claimed materials, combined with quality movements and components.
