Friday’s Finished Object: The little Kimono dress

It is actually called the Sweet Wrap Reversible dress.  But I think it should be called the sweet kimono wrap dress.  I bought the fabric from Egypt in 5 minutes.  I waked in and saw the patterned fabric and fell in love with it and then saw the purple and bought a meter of each.  The best thing about having a little girl is that one meter of fabric is enough for most garments.

After a month of doing very little crafting I felt very ready to make something.  Well I did make a small shawl for my mom using a skein of mystery yarn I found in one of the cupboards and I hemmed a night gown for my aunt.

I looked around for a pattern that would use the fabric and found the dress and fell in love with it immediately.

Heidi & Finn have lots of other really cute patterns for kids so be sure to go check them out.  I always love it when I find great high quality patterns designed by independent designers, because I know how much hard work and love goes into them.  I am already eying the girly pleated skirt and the perfect little party dress.

I *love* wrap dresses and I *love* reversible clothes for children. They make a mess, you just smile take it off and turn it inside out and voila you have a new clean outfit and you can go on and win mother of the year.

It looks so much cuter on her than hanging like that, but if you have an almost 3 year old you would now how difficult it is to get them to stand still long enough to take a good picture.

Now if only I can make one in my size.
