When I returned from our trip to Asheville, NC I had a package from my sister.
She surprised me with an early Christmas gift – a box full of kimono fabrics from Japan!
My sister has a friend who imports kimonos from Japan and she had had a collection of kimono obi sashes that were no longer needed. She thought I would be able to recycle the fabric into something else.
Challenge accepted!

Oh, gorgeous, but also Oh, challenging! Beautiful fabrics, but they can be so hard to work with. I think you’ll be delighting us with something spectacular soon!

I was thinking the same thing! I started to take one apart at the seams and started thinking – beautiful fabric but this will be a challenge, not like working with cottons!

Not at all like cotton! The fraying, the slipperiness, the way the fabric won’t lie straight along the grain. But SO beautiful.
