Reversible Kung Fu jacket!

This was made especially for Chago as his Chinese New Year Suit

I have searched the net for any free or paid patterns for little men's Kungfu Tops but gahhhh!

Every link either leads me to a grown up women's Cheong Sam

or Very Girlie Qing Paos!

So I got out one of Chago's Traced Shirt Patterns and did some modifications and Tada!!!

He is now a proud owner of a reversible Kunfu Suit!

This is so cool!

Yes, Yes I know,

Self Praise is no praise at all but I am real proud of myself!

Look at the Chinese Button look on the front,

well, they are actually snaps. 

I used an old Bra Strap to link the two snap buttons to give it that Kungfu look.

He's such a poser!

Look at him strip it!

Here's him with the guitar print facing out.

Miguel says he looks just perfect for a Beatles Concert now!

"I'm Sexy and I know it"

hahaha

Okay, enough with the stripping :)

Till I sew Next

Kimono From Woman's T-shirt

I have to thank My cousin, Martina, for some hand-me-downs. I get to cross some stuff out of my list and start concentrating on sewing other stuff. But I just can't help sewing a baby Kimono since one of the stuff were baby rompers and tees. So I used one of the "kimono" tops and made myself a pattern for it :))

I traced around the tie-tops and got these patterns to cut out and make me some Kimonos!

I got this top as a free gift while shopping at Parkson Grand and had always wanted to make something for the little one... So Why not a Kimono top?

Cut  according to the pattern...

Sew them together... I attached a red ribbon instead of bias tape because I don't have any with me.

Again... I used a wider red ribbon because I don't have bias tape at that time..

This is how it will look on the inside...

And TADA!!!! Done!

And since I have some more material out of that tee... I decided to make a baby hat to go along with the kimono... I wish I had enough material to make something more Kimono-ish... But I guess this will do.

Looks like I need to be shopping for more ribbons...

I wish the little one is already here so I can show it off on the baby than a doll with 4 hands...

And there you have it! 

Till I sew Next :)
