Trying to make up one last project before I have hip surgery. Hoping to make up two 20" covers out of this uchikake fabric.

I've had no internet since Thursday! Back up and running and will be relisting these cases made from houmongi fabric featuring pink and coral plum blossoms with embroidery (as soon as I read through 200 emails LOL).

Once again I've made something that I would love to keep for myself.... but I won't 💙⛩ There are two slightly different versions of these available.

Latest project...

I decided to make up some more uchikake pillow covers and there are two of these 20" covers available. I will be making up some more of this fabric in smaller covers but need to get lining fabric this week. There is no more fabric available to make this large size.

The hardest part of my shop is that I have SOOOO many things I want to be working on all at the same time 🤣 I took this komon kimono apart which has a lovely metallic weave with peacock feathers and flowers to make into eyeglass cases, but then got side tracked with something (honestly can't remember what). I have several other kimono fabrics to make up into eyeglass cases but these will probably have to wait until September/October. But trust me, there will be a variety of fabrics and designs 😍
