Madeleine MorrisIt’s warming up, summer is coming. I have a few quite traditional print #yukata to make. But no one is going to wear an obi, and worn open, pockets are nice
Will 🇯🇵@Remittancegirl saw my first Swallow on Sunday.
@wilpercy You did? I love the way they swoop and glide! Happiness birds 🥰
@Remittancegirl same here. Always sad to see them gather and go in September/October and delighted to see them return in the spring.
ApaulD@Remittancegirl Japanese fabrics are fabulous. Did I understand you are going to make a yukata out of an obi? I’m very interested! I have some obi from my time scavenging flea markets in Japan. Would love to turn them into something I can wear. So far have just hung them on walls!
@ApaulD no, sorry. I’m not making them out of obi. Just regular cotton. I have wondered about reusing obi for fabric, I guess it depends on the construction. Tricky, though!
@Remittancegirl yes OBI fabric is very tricky. Thank you for responding.
@ApaulD my pleasure. If you do find a way to use one, please let me know!
