I liked the look of this 'Lucy's Kimono' in Heather Ross's Weekend Sewing. Like a lot of people in the Flickr pool I did have some trouble with bunching where the sleeve seam meets the main body, but it is not too bad.

I made an error with the shoulders too - the shoulder seams meet each sleeve in a different place, but again, it hasn't effected the overall appearance too much.

I used a red flannelette so it's all cosy, and some floral bias binding that I got from my local yarn shop... I bought them out when I saw it! I think if I do this pattern again I will do a snap closure on the inside (rather than another tie) like some others on Flickr have done. I think a snap would be more practical.

Beautiful.
Oh, sweeeet! Love that floral bias tape.
Very pretty. The tape just makes it.
Looks lovely!
You've inspired me! My colleague is expecting a baby in the summer and this could be the perfect gift - and I already own Weekend Sewing! Hooray!
