The okumi or overlap panels for the hitoe or green garment are almost attached.
The rest of the dye I ordered should show up tomorrow. If I work really hard, I may have the okumi attached and hem done before it arrives. At the very least, I’ll have all that finished by the time the fabric is done being dyed. The one good thing about having to dye more fabric is the collar can now be recut so that it is also on a selvage edge.
I’m considering making a doll and using off-cuts to make her clothing. It would be a lovely way to display different outfits…great, now I want to research period dolls. I mean, I did before, but I have the urge to find out now, and there are other things to do… It figures that I’d get a little distracted by toys. Back to sewing!
As sunlight dances / dappled on the window pane / I let out a sigh. / Would that I could capture this / gold drenched beam for stormy days.
