I made this cute kimono!
I used this tutorial:
Simple Kimono Wrap (version 2)
It was the first time I've ever done a binding like this and I have to say it wasn't that bad!
I have this cool little bias binding maker thingy that I never used - but now I have! It was really a lot easier than I thought. You just cut your fabric into strips twice as wide as the desired end result - pop the strip into the bias maker and iron it flat as it comes out! And you end up with perfect bias strips!
Love it!
I think I may have to make some more!

You know, there's a sun dress pattern now too.....
Very very cute!
It's gorgeous! Can you tell more about the binding tool? How cool!
OMG! That is too cute! I love the fabric - very baby-appropriate without being cheesy.
Very cute! Nice job on the binding too!
Nice! You're doubly talented. I love to make bias tape. It's sort of therapeutic, I think.

Too Cute!!
Howe cool is that? Neat! Love the fabric on the kimono. Cute!
Wow! I need to get my friends having babies so I can make this:) You're such a crafting inspiration!
That's adorable! I've made loads of baby clothes like that from knit fabrics, but never from wovens, will have to give that a try! I even have the same apples fabric in my stash. :)
rock and roll! where'd you get that bias thingy?
Uh...don't you mean second item of clothing? Let us not forget the pajama pants of the mean sewing teacher!! :-) The baby kimono is super cute! I really need to get a new sewng machine!
Love,

Most excellent!
What can't you do?
I agree with Lynn, is there anything you can't do? :) The kimono top is awesome - LOVE the fabric, too cute.
Awwwwwwww!
Who's it for??
That is adorable! I remember the first time I used the binding maker - what a cool tool!
I'm so going to have to get me one of those for making bias tape. I did it the long and old fashion way today. It took a long time. Thanks.....
