What I'm playing with today

I'm having a bag cutting day and these are the fabulous pieces I'm playing with.


This weekend, I'm selling at a market with a friend and am busily sewing up a storm. You may notice that these are all black based... I promise I do have other colours as well, but I'm starting off with black thread in my machine.

As part of the cutting process, I match each piece to a kimono fabric for the lining.


I just loooove this spider lily obi! Sadly, it was a Nagoya obi, so I will only get two bags out of it.... I think I may have to keep one bag for myself.... I think the black and red matsu pine kimono fabric in the background is the perfect lining for it.
Hope to have some results to show soon...

Thank you for taking time to comment, I treasure each and everyone one of them. I always reply to them in my head, but must confess, these days it takes me much longer to actually email that reply.
