[70–90 cm] No pattern needed! Baby hakama kimono

[No Pattern Needed] Easy to Make and Easy to Wear! How to Make a Baby Hakama Kimono [70–90 cm]

Here’s an idea for a baby hakama-style kimono that a little one can wear.

It’s basically made with a sewing machine, but you won’t need a pattern—just measure the approximate sizes using clothes your baby already wears.

Prepare a favorite patterned fabric and a solid fabric, then simply cut out the pieces and sew them together.

Instead of using ties to fasten the overlap, it uses hook-and-loop tape, making it gentle on the baby and easy to put on.

Why not use this as a reference to make the kimono and pair it with a hakama in your favorite color?

One-touch hakama, skirt type [70 cm–150 cm]

[Improved Version] With 70–150 cm Patterns: How to Make the Updated Easy Hakama — One-Touch Skirt-Type Hakama [Includes How to Make the Obi] for Shichi-Go-San and Halloween | How to Make a Japanese Hakama

Let me show you how to make a skirt-style hakama.

Since it’s a hakama, let’s use solid-colored fabric.

Cut out two rectangles and round off the top corners to create the hakama shape.

You’ll make pleats in the center of the fabric—have an iron ready for this step.

The waist ties are sewn onto the skirt portion, and there’s hook-and-loop fastener on the ends.

It’s designed so you can wear it without tying a knot.

With this, it seems like children could put it on by themselves!

Color vinyl bag yukata dress

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

Here’s an idea for a yukata-style dress made with colored plastic bags.

Many girls admire dresses, so this kimono-inspired dress idea might make them really happy.

Since it’s basically made from plastic bags, it’s budget-friendly, and after the Doll’s Festival is over, it could also be useful as a dress-up costume.

Even though it’s made from plastic bags, it’s very cute, with frilled sleeves and various patterns added with tape.

Why not try making one together with your child?

Hina doll and imperial prince hats

Easy craft ♡ How to make Hina Doll headwear

Here’s an idea for making hats for the Emperor (Odairi-sama) and Empress (Ohina-sama) using construction paper.

Connect two pieces of black construction paper to create a long, horizontal base, then draw tall, narrow triangles evenly spaced from end to end along the top.

Round the tips of the triangles.

Once drawn, cut away the unnecessary parts with scissors, then glue the ends of the paper together to form a tube.

Gather the triangular sections toward the center and staple them together to complete the hat base.

For the Emperor’s hat, attach a ray-shaped crest made from construction paper, and for the Empress’s hat, add a sai (hairpin ornament) to finish!

Kimono for hakama (70–100 cm)

How to Make a Hakama Kimono for Babies and Children (70, 80, 90, 100 cm) — Can Be Made Without a Pattern ★

Here’s a handmade kimono idea to pair with hakama! If you’re considering traditional attire using a hakama for your child on Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day), please take a look for inspiration.

This one comes with a pattern, so you can simply cut the pieces from your preferred fabric according to the pattern and sew them together with a machine.

There’s a step for adjusting the shoulders, but please do that to fit the child who will actually wear it.

Although it’s unlined, it has a visible collar and the tying cords sewn on, so with this alone and a hakama, it looks like you’ll be able to dress them nicely!
