Last week we had a day out in North Wales. We visited Conwy Castle, played on the beach at Llandudno and of course made a little time at the end of the day for some retail therapy of the fabric kind at Abakhan...it was on the way home anyway!
This gorgeous fabric jumped off the shelves and into my arms. a polyester blend with a gorgeous vibrant print. I knew I wanted some to make a blouse or possibly a dress, and India who was with me suggested it would make her a beautiful boho style kimono.
She has had her eye on several over the summer, but never had the spare funds to buy one.
I agreed it would make a great kimono, and we bought some long fringing while we were there.



I ran this up yesterday for her. I used some lovely satin bias binding from stash for the front opening.
A simple and satisfying make. I've even written up a quick little tutorial for my readers.
