Kimono Wrap For Kids

Do you remember the Kimono Wrap formerly only available through the Road Trip Pattern Club? Well, it is now available for independent purchase! One of the great things about this pattern is that you can sew it for all ages and sizes! The instructions are all based on individual measurements, so you get the right fit every time.

I actually made this one from two bath towels from Wal-mart with a little extra fabric for the sash and neck band. By using the towel edges, I didn't even have to hem the robe!

My daughter just might think this is the coolest thing I've made her!!

Pattern Changes:

For a child sized version, I adjusted the sleeve width from 6" to 4". Also, I narrowed the shoulder width for cutting the diagonal from 6" to 5". Just check that your neck opening isn't too narrow.

More Ideas:

• Sew kids sizes for a spa birthday party.
• Sew adult versions for a bridal party.
• Sew a girl's a Mulan costume. *
• Sew an adult Geisha costume. *

*Don't forget! If you sew a costume with a Modkid pattern, share your photos on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and tag them with #modkidhalloween for a chance to be featured on our blog this coming month. We have a super fun series planned and would love your participation!

Check out some inspiration images from our wonderful testers:

Crystal Dekker, with That's What SHE Crafted, made a shorter wrap and used 60"-wide satin fabric. We think she looks fabulous in her new Kimono Wrap! Crystal thinks they would make ADORABLE bride/ bridesmaids robes for getting ready on the big day.

  

Kara Orr of www.leighleecollection.blogspot.com used cotton voile for her Kimono Wrap. It looks so drapey and comfy!

Jenny Fish, at www.sewprettydresses.blogspot.com, used Pip Studio's Lawn 40"-wide fabric for her beautiful Kimono Wrap.

And last but not least, Kristen McVane sewed her Kimono Wrap in a floral rayon. Photographer Roark Nelson, www.roarkphoto.blogspot.com, took these amazing photos of model Summer Wardlaw. 

We are in love!

Now, if you don't know about the ROAD TRIP PATTERN CLUB, read on:

The Road Trip Pattern Club is an exciting collaboration between 5 of the top sewing pattern designers in the industry, Betz White, Patty Young, Carla Crim, Liesl Gibson and Carolyn Friedlander. Every three weeks from late May through August, club members will receive an exclusive brand new PDF sewing pattern delivered directly to your inbox.

There are 5 travel inspired patterns that include bags, accessories and women’s clothing, ranging in skill from confident beginner to intermediate. The designs will be a mystery until they are revealed at each road trip “destination” every 3 weeks.

The first pattern was released on Tuesday May 27 (see it here). The Kimono Wrap is the 2nd pattern in the series and will be followed by 3 more patterns revealed every three weeks through August. The one-time membership fee for the club is $35 for all 5 patterns.
