I've jumped straight in with this one while I've got a bit of time.
I have four bridesmaids dresses hanging up, waiting to be altered, (two are for next Saturday
), and I have another five to come,(wedding in August), which I've been phoned about...just awaiting their arrival. So I'm not sure how much sewing fun-time I'm going to be able to find.
I used some of my vintage kimono fabric for the mauve-y pink, and also the edging. Took me ages to rummage through my old boxes of stuff to find something which I liked the look of.
The kimono is a silk crepe, so it's got natural stretch to it...not ideal for patchwork. The off-white edging is also vintage kimono. It has a beautiful subtle sheen to it, which you can't see from the pictures...it's woven with a very fine silver thread.
Slightly distorted out of size due to the crepe, but I couldn't stop myself from using up some of my stash. Will definitely finish this off as a wall hanging.
Not entirely sure about the yellow strip.
Thanks Iminei. I like this one.
Sandra.
