Hakama romperNEW!
Hakama rompers are a popular item as baby outfits that let you enjoy a touch of Japanese style with ease.
At first glance they look like authentic hakama attire, but they’re actually designed as rompers, making them easy to put on and take off and gentle on your baby.
They resist becoming disheveled even when the baby moves, and they’re designed to make holding and crawling easy.
Because the top and bottom are integrated, there’s no need to worry about coordinating—one piece creates a festive look.
Depending on the fabric and pattern, they can be either cute or elegant, making them perfect for photos.
It’s a piece that shines not only for special events but also as an outfit for milestones.
Hakama-style bibNEW!
A hakama-style bib is a handy item that lets you easily add a touch of Japanese flair to a baby’s everyday outfit.
It can be made from familiar materials like fabric, felt, and ribbon, so it’s great that you can start right away whenever you feel like it.
With few sewing steps, it feels relatively approachable even for those who aren’t confident in sewing.
Even though it’s a small bib, simply incorporating a hakama design on the chest gives it a much more festive look.
It’s light, easy to move in, and properly practical for mealtime or drool protection.
It’s a great idea not only for the day of an event, but also as a special accent for photo shoots.
Hakama-style baby bib with a waist tieNEW!
The hakama-style bib with a waist tie brings an authentic look that really elevates outfits for special occasions.
The adjustable tie makes it easy to fit snugly to your baby’s body, which is a big plus.
It’s not only adorable in appearance but also thoughtfully practical.
By layering cotton flannel inside, it effectively absorbs drool while staying durable.
It also stands up well to washing, making it great for repeated use.
It’s beginner-friendly too, with flexible material options—such as using batting as a substitute.
This Japanese-style bib is versatile, perfect for everything from ceremonies to gifts.
Baby hakama with pattern includedNEW!
A baby hakama you can make in 60 cm size is perfect for important milestones like newborn photos, the first-feeding ceremony, and the 100-day celebration.
With included patterns, it’s easy to achieve a well-balanced finish, making it reassuring even for handmade beginners.
Despite its authentic traditional Japanese design, it’s thoughtfully made for a baby to wear comfortably, which is a delightful plus.
The size tailored to a tiny body is adorable, and it adds an extra-special touch when captured in photos.
Since the look changes greatly depending on the fabric’s colors and patterns, you can also enjoy creating a one-of-a-kind hakama just for your child.
A hifu vest that works with kimono stylingNEW!
A hifu vest that adds extra elegance to Shichi-Go-San kimono styling.
Its softly rounded silhouette is charming, and simply layering it on instantly creates a festive, special-occasion look.
With included patterns, you can check sizing and lines as you sew—another reassuring point.
The front-opening design makes it easy to put on and comfortable even for active children.
Depending on your choice of embellishments and fabric, you can arrange it in either a classic or modern style—the high degree of flexibility is part of its appeal.
Try making this piece to beautifully enhance and commemorate a very special day.
apron dressNEW!
An apron dress that’s perfect for layering is a piece that greatly expands your styling options.
Just pair it with a simple top or blouse for a natural, cute look.
Another charm is how the vibe changes depending on the strap and waist design.
Switch up the inner layer and you can wear it year-round, making it a long-lasting favorite.
It’s easy to move in and ideal for everyday use.
With your choice of fabric and hem length, you can express your personal style—also a great pick for handmade projects.
Frilled-hem one-piece dressNEW!

With sizes ranging from 70 to 150, it’s perfect for matching outfits for sisters.
Depending on your fabric choice, it can be styled for everyday wear or outings, making it a versatile piece you can enjoy year-round.
