beading in progress....



I am currently working on this tiny beaded purse. I am using teeny-tiny Japanese beads and a flat weave to construct it. It reminds me of the collection of antique purses that my Mother has, and that I have always admired.

Vintage kimono fabric skirt



A few months ago I made a skirt out of indigo kimono scraps. I wasn't entirely happy with that skirt. So I have made this simple wrap skirt. the main part is made up of indigo linen and the trim is vintage indigo kimono fabric pieces.. The simplicity of the skirt pattern seems to suit the fabric much better!
