Kimono Silk

Just putting some more silk on the website:

Kimono Silks

I've just put these silks on my online shop...

More silk in the  kimono silk oddment basket...

I've just made up a basket of  kimono silk oddments - these are unpicked panels and roll ends. A few examples:

I've just put these kimono silks out - late 20th century but as-new on the roll. I love the first one with the roof design! 

 

potd - Old Piece of Silk

This is an old length of partly embroidered silk from one of my rummage baskets. It looks like kimono fabric but definitely hasn't been used for a kimono. It might have been used on an obi  - or I don't know what.  It's wonderfully vibrant and worn and shabby at the same time. (Click on the photos to enlarge)

potd - Baby Silks?

I had a lady in the shop yesterday who bought this orange floral kimono silk to make a  summer dress for her newborn granddaughter. I thought it was a perfect choice -  simply pretty and beautifully soft and cool at the same time.  I picked out a couple of others that were equally as soft and pretty.  I'm sure all babies should wear silk!
