Wine Yukata

Adding to the rainbow collection of yukata that I have is always a joyful time. 

This latest one was the second bolt I bought from the shopping trip to Nippori with my friend David last year. I've already made the Red Yukata (in Japan), but this one came home with me unmade. Not sure what inspired me to dig it out and make it at last, but here it is. 

Another 100% hand sewn, zero waste kimono for my collection. Could be my favourite yet.

Sushi Apron

Our cooking loving Sophie had grown out of her other apron. She was going to a Japanese cooking event with church, and requested a new one. So I made her an apron. 

Most basic sewing ever. I did a quick google for rough measurements, and sacrificed some more of this bright sushi fabric that Sophie already has in a bag. She loves it, and I'm happy to report, has also been wearing it.
