kimonos in the works

Before I left for my new job in Toronto the 3 of us Loose Threads got together to create one of a kind kimonos. Cathy had the pattern and she kindly taught us...she's a great teacher and yes..she was a slave driver! :)

Ta Da!

Now I want to embellish the heck out of it. I think I'll do an embroidery running stitch down the lapels and maybe a bit on the sleeves.

Thanks Cathy and Pat for a great day! Go to Pat's blog for more pix.
