Yes well as the title may indeed state n a round about manner i realised something. i was puttering around Imortal Geisha (ok more like stalking) and i saw a pic of one of the members wearing a kimono (wich is beautiful by the way but thats besides the point of my realisation) and she was useing the tie thing to keep her sleeves out of the way. Now you see i have been trying out how to do that for a while now, cuz it seems so handy, and i saw the bow on her shoulder and suddenly it hit me and i knew how to do it. So i tried it out on one of my cotton costume kimonos,(handmade by me and useful for this sort of thing) it was one of my two purple 'Haori' style ones and as i was beaming at myself i remembered something i had nearly forgotten.
You see i have two cotton Furisode style costume kimonos (all the fun of furisode with the ease of a yukata, or so i tell myself) that i made oh... um two three years back, well either way one, a blue one i might add, i had made 'too long' (this was in the days before i knew putting on a kimono took some folding) and for some reason instead of surgeing it across the bottom i mearly folded it, sewed it, and called it done.
So here i am ripping some seems with the plan of 'remakeing' it... eventually... i'll make it more acurate this time... but i suck at hems so i'll just serge some parts with a nice cream colored thread. lols.
