Baby hakama for newborns

[With Pattern] How to Make a Baby Hakama (60 cm) — Perfect for Newborn Photos, Okuizome, and 100-Day Celebrations

Why not try making a baby hakama that’s perfect for first-meal (okuizome) or first seasonal festival (hatsuzekku) celebrations? The kimono top is made from gauze fabric and constructed in the style of a long underkimono.

The sleeves have small tamoto (hanging sleeve pouches), so it’s simple yet looks authentically Japanese.

You can make it by sewing together the front bodice, back bodice, sleeves, and collar pieces.

For the hakama, cut the front and back panels from your fabric, add a central pleat, and sew them together.

Then attach a waist tape with a ribbon at the hip, sew another ribbon on top, and you’re done.

The waist tape has hook-and-loop fasteners, making it easy to put on and take off.

Simple Baby Dress

[Pattern] How to Make a Baby Dress / Newborn / 50–70 cm

Here’s a simple handmade baby dress idea that can be worn by both boys and girls.

Cut out the parts for the front bodice, back bodice, left and right sleeves, front yoke, back yoke, and hem ruffle from both the outer fabric and the lining.

After sewing the yoke pieces together, attach bias tape around the neckline.

Create gathers on the front and back bodices, then sew them to the outer and lining yokes respectively.

Sew on the sleeves with an opening for elastic, thread elastic through the cuffs, add the hem ruffle, and attach buttons to close the front to finish.

If you want to make it a bit more decorative, use lace fabric for the yoke or add shoulder ruffles.

[Crochet] Fluffy Baby Dress

[How to Make a Newborn Ceremony Dress 1/4] Baby Dress Crochet Tutorial

Let’s crochet a ceremony dress.

Start by working in the order of double crochet, chain stitch, and double crochet to create the V-patterned front bodice.

The back begins with the same V pattern, but for the hem, combine bobble stitch, chain stitch, double crochet, and single crochet to give it a lace-like finish.

Crochet the sleeves with double crochet and chain stitches as well, and finish the cuffs so they look frilly.

Once each piece is complete, sew them together and add buttons to close the front bodice, and you’re done! If you prefer a simpler dress, you might skip the frill at the hem.

Handmade baby flower crown

Delicate and adorable! Easy with a glue gun: Baby Flower Crowns & Kids Flower Crowns ~from atelier amarige*~

Why not make a dazzling dried-flower crown to match your dress? First, cut wire to fit the size of your head and form a loop at each end.

Tie a back ribbon to one of the loops, then cover the entire wire with the ribbon.

After that, simply use a hot glue gun to attach your favorite dried flowers and lace—such as baby’s breath or hydrangeas.

You can coordinate it with the dress’s embellishments, or, if the dress is simple, use more colors for a vibrant look.

It also seems doable using floral parts other than dried flowers.

It’s perfect for babies born in winter or for the still-chilly early spring, so give it a try.

First, work single crochet to make the yoke.

At the edges of the yoke, finish with a lacy look by doing 1 single crochet and 3 chain stitches.

Make the bodice and sleeves with a pattern stitch.

Add elastic at the cuffs as you crochet.

Finally, sew on the buttons and it’s done.

It might also be nice to make a matching baby bonnet.

Handmade baby crown

[Baby Crown] With pattern: baby crown/tiara – how to make a baby crown

Here’s a baby crown idea that looks adorable with a birthday dress.

Let’s start by making the pattern.

Fold an A4 sheet of paper in half horizontally.

Mark points at 8 cm intervals from the edge and draw vertical lines.

Then make additional marks at 4 cm, 12 cm, and 20 cm.

Draw a horizontal line 6 cm up from the bottom.

Connect the points where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect to the second set of marks to create the crown shape.

Next, cut the outer fabric and lining using this pattern, sew them together, and finish by adding decorative pom-pom balls and a ribbon to tie at the back of the head.
