Yukata dress

Amy’s Yukata Dress Project: Let’s make a yukata dress with colored plastic bags ☆ Amy’s Atelier

Why not try making a yukata dress that takes advantage of the translucent look of colored vinyl bags? This costume can faithfully express the silhouette and color of a yukata, making it perfect for vibrant singing and dancing.

Cut the colored vinyl bags and create the top and skirt separately.

Add patterns like petals or stars to give it a traditional Japanese feel.

Next, craft an obijime and hair accessories to complete the yukata dress.

It’s an outfit that also pairs well with choreography set to smooth, flowing songs.

jinbaori (a traditional Japanese sleeveless battle surcoat worn over armor)

The jinbaori is a sleeveless coat that warlords wore over their armor during the Sengoku period.

How about this stylish garment for your school sports day? It might take a bit of effort, but since it has no sleeves and no buttonholes, it should be easier to make than ordinary clothing.

Prepare a pattern in advance.

Adding bias tape to the front belt and shoulder areas will improve the look! Since it won’t be worn on a daily basis, you can skip the lining.

Using a slightly luxurious fabric with a traditional Japanese pattern as an accent would also be nice.

sailor detachable collar

[Make it in any size!] How to make a sailor detachable collar | I wore it to the Laguna × Demon Slayer event | How to make a sailor collar | Demon Slayer

A sailor-style detachable collar is perfect as a small accent for T-shirts or gym uniforms.

You can make it at home, so why not use it for a sports day outfit? It’s handy to draft the pattern to match your child’s T-shirt or workout clothes.

While hand-sewing is possible, using a sewing machine will make it sturdier, especially considering all the movement on sports day.

You can coordinate the colors with the events, or make the ribbon with patterned fabric—both are great options! If you’re short on time, you can make just the sailor collar or just the ribbon.

Let's make a moleskine skirt!

The mole skirt that’s familiar in hula dance.

If you’re going to perform a Hawaiian-style dance at a school sports day, this skirt is a must! You can easily make one by hand using plastic raffia tape (suzuran tape), so give it a try.

First, cut a length of tape to fit your child’s waist and tie a knot at both ends.

For the skirt portion, cut the tape into pieces about 60 cm long and make around 100 strips.

Next, bundle the strips in groups of four and attach each bundle to the waist tape, and you’re done! It also looks great if you use different colors for the waist tape and the skirt strips.

Making it together as a parent–child activity can be lots of fun too.

[DIY] Handmade Tinker Bell Wings | Disney Costume/Cosplay [Halloween] Fairy Wings

Fairy wings are an item that looks great with any outfit.

Even paired with a simple gym uniform, they’ll likely make you look cute.

Let’s try making fairy wings by hand! First, prepare stainless steel wire and create the base of the wings.

Once you’ve shaped it, wrap wire around the center and secure it firmly with pliers.

Next, cut organza fabric into the shape of the wings and attach it with a hot glue gun or adhesive.

You can draw patterns on the wing portions with liquid pearl, and adorning them with beads will make them look beautiful too!
