Mamma Mia, here I go again.. I've made my ABBA dolls two different batches of Kimonos, each time trying to make them better. Now I've made a third batch of Kimonos with a whole new pattern...
(Left) My first batch of Kimonos were done with a simple shirt pattern, all stuck together and very silly looking. I wasn't satisfied with the way they looked, so I made another batch. My next batch (Right) was with the same pattern, but the flower designs were done with glitter pens and the belts were separate. They were wonderful, but again, I wasn't satisfied. Now, many months later, I take out my pen and paper and design a whole new pattern that would hopefully get my Kimonos to look more like the actual costumes.
Now, after two weeks of sewing, I've completed these wonderful, new Kimonos. This time, I did the flower designs with my trusty sequins. :)

That's all, folks! :) By the way, I want to start working on ABBA's black jumpsuits from late 1978 and early 1979. :)
