Made out from partly damaged japanese traditional Yukata, hand-sewn.

A yukata is a casual, single-layered cotton kimono which is usually worn in summer.

Now we have many high tech fabrics but they don’t feel great on your skin, do they? I love the texture of cotton and it’s easy to sew.

Most of the shops sell yukata only during the summer time, I need to get some before the summer ends.

A yukata is a casual, single-layered cotton kimono which is usually worn in summer.
Now (because we don’t usually wear kimonos any more) we only wear this yukata on special occations, like festivals.

Bow clutch made out from partly damaged japanese traditional Kimono.

I found this pattern online via Pinterest

I liked the figure——–ribbon but not too girly.

Used a pink (but not too girly-again) leftover fabric, and for the lining ……this ↓ kimono!

Pink ribbon, sounds very “not” me, but this one will do.

I think……


Simple, again

Made out from partly damaged japanese traditional Kimono.

For almost all of my handmade clothes, I use a pattern from a library books. I borrow books and trace the patterns →store them until I find a perfect kimono for the pattern.

Because of this Corona virus lock down, libraries are closed for a while. It’s likely that I run out of those pattern storage.

So I used this pattern in a row.

Because simple things suits for everything, right?
