Hello friends from Needle Work Monday! ❤️ I hope you are having a wonderful day. Today I want to share with you the completion of one of my many unfinished projects 😀.
Two Mondays ago I had shown you in this post that in December I was making a tablecloth for Christmas with scraps of fabric but that for various reasons, I left it abandoned. It was in that post that the needleworker @neumannsalva asked me if the pieces were not enough to make a kimono. The truth is that I was thinking of putting everything together in a big rectangle because I hadn't come up with another idea but since she said that I couldn't stop thinking about that project until I finally got down to work and here it is ❤️.
¡Hola amigos de Needle Work Monday! 💛 Espero que esten teniendo un maravilloso día. Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes la finalización de uno de mis tantos proyectos inconclusos 😃.
Hace dos lunes les había mostrado en este post que en Diciembre estaba haciendo un mantel para la navidad con retazos de tela pero que por diversos motivos, dejé abandonado. Fue en esa publicación que la needleworker @neumannsalva me preguntó si no me alcanzaban los retazos para hacer un kimono. La verdad es que yo pensaba unir todo en un gran rectángulo porque no se me había ocurrido otra idea pero desde que ella dijo eso no pude dejar de pensar en ese proyecto hasta que finalmente puse manos a la obra y así me quedó ❤️.
These are all the scraps I had. They were irregular triangles that I was joining to form small rectangles.
Estos son todos los retazos que tenía. Eran triángulos irregulares que fui uniendo hasta formar pequeños rectángulos.
I searched the internet for a tutorial on how to make a kimono mold and I did it with my measurements.
Busqué en internet un tutorial de cómo hacer un molde de kimono y lo hice con mis medidas.
So I decided to see if the scraps I had were enough to complete the mold. And the aswer was YES. Luckily I have a small size so the rectangles were just the measurements I needed.
Entonces me propuse ver si los retazos que tenía me alcanzaban para completar el molde. Pueden creer que SÍ. Por suerte tengo un talle pequeño entonces los rectángulos eran justo de las medidas que necesitaba.
So I just had to join the pieces to form the entire mold. To do this I used straight stitches and then stepped on the seams with zig zag stitching. I think this gave it a neater look as the seams throughout the garment were too many 😂.
Entonces ya solo tuve que unir las piezas para formar el molde entero. Para hacer esto usé puntadas rectas y luego pisé las uniones con costuras zig zag. Pienso que esto le dió un aspecto más prolijo ya que las uniones en toda la prenda eran demasiadas 😂.
This is how it looked.
Así se veía.
The front part is open and has an hem to give it a better finish.
La parte del frente es abierta y lleva todo un dobladillo para darle una mejor terminación.
Then I sewed all the pieces at the shoulders and sides. I hemmed the sleeve and bottom.
Después, uní todas las piezas por los hombros y los costados. Hice un dobladillo en la manga y en la parte de abajo.
¡Y este fue el resultado final! ❤️
And so it fits me. I don't usually wear white clothes, but I'm going to use this because it's made by me, of course 😂❤️.
Y así me queda. Yo generalmente no suelo usar ropa blanca, pero esto lo voy a usar porque es hecho por mí, obvio 😂❤️.
Thanks @neumannsalva for giving me this idea, I think you gave these fabric scraps a better destination. Now they may come out of the closet more times in the year and not just at Christmas to decorate the table 😄😁.
Finally, a postcard from behind the scenes with my cat who always accompanies me in all projects ❤️.
Gracias @neumannsalva por darme esta idea, creo que le diste un mejor destino a estos retazos. Ahora quizás salgan del armario más veces en el año y no solo en la Navidad para adornar la mesa 😄😁.
Por último, una postal del detrás de escena con mi gata que siempre me acompaña en todos los proyectos ❤️.

Lau 💕.
The results of the clothes are good and attractive .
Forward my friend ..
Thank you ❤️❤️.
That demonstrates great creativity. Good job.
Thanks! I don't usually make clothes for myself, I'm just learning and I love recycling fabric! 😀
I am so excited!!! You really did it and the kimono looks amazing on you. I love the white color with your wonderful long and dark hair (count me envious of your hair 😍). You look ready for an exclusive beach party (I fear my head is full of cliches:-DDD) I still lust after such a kimono style thin coat but with the ugly weather here (on and of snow and storm) I am pondering to sew it with a thicker fabric like jeans... but this is a dream for when the shops are open again.
Thank you very much Simone for your idea 😀. I ended up liking this style of garment, I didn't have one like that but I must say that it is very comfortable and gives an elegant look to a simple outfit. I'll have to go to a beach party to see if it fits in well there 😃❤️.
I like the kimono and net lace are my favorite fabrics. I also learnt something from your kimono pattern too.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for your words 😇❤️. I really enjoyed this project.
Lau, creo le diste un mejor destino a tus retazos, me parece que quedó super cool, a mí me encanta el blanco, y también estilo usar kimonos, me parecen super elegantes.
Que bueno seguiste el consejo de @neumannsalva y lograste una pieza muy bonita.
Saludos.
Gracias Ji! Me pareció una buena idea y ni bien llegué a mi casa me puse a ver si era posible hacerlo y sí era!
Saludos para tí, que tengas buen día ❤️.

This is such a great way of using up your scraps and it looks wonderful on you! Well done! I'm so impressed. Sometimes it takes someone with fresh eyes to see a project in a different way 😊
Thank you very much for your words. It is always good to look everywhere for ideas and take risks, sometimes the results are very good 😃.
