TaDahhh!  Lilya's Kimono is now finished!!

No idea if it will fit, but it looks nice - well I think so.  It was meant as a Christmas present, but they are now going to get their holiday in Turkey - after many setbacks, and I thought this would be nice for her.

I intend to finish DD's gown today, so we can pass them both over when we collect the doggies on Friday.

So, here it is.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Beautiful Jessie, and so well made as well.  Hope Lilya enjoys wearing this - such a lovely colour and I believe she has dark hair?

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

Thank you so much girls!  This was made in order to iron out some problems I was having with the Kimono I'm making for DD.  Not so much the making as I went through that with BF, to help her along with it.  My problems were with the Hong Kong seams and the order I needed to do them in.

I now have comprehensive notes, and directions to websites, and I'm able to continue with DD's gown - pics tomorrow (fingers crossed!)

You know those jobs that you leave to the last minute because they'll only take five minutes?  Well, this proved to be one of those...

Well, four hours later it's now finished, and ready to go.

Phheewww!  :faints:

Again absolutely beautiful Jessie, your daughter and Lilya are indeed very lucky young ladies.  Now what about Theo - won't he be wanting a robe of some sort?

Have fun making your own robe.
