I love how you kept the spirit of the original kimono intact with the sleeves, plus I think this fabric has such great body that a narrower sleeve would not do justice to. Pattern placement is tricky--I think the crane is in a really smart spot--subtle asymmetry is elegant!Elizabeth Made Thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611395530073290874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201923913088603966.post-1830608294538674952018-11-29T21:25:57.356+09:002018-11-29T21:25:57.356+09:00I missed you comment!

I really l...Thank you for your sweet words, Joanna! I really love the fabric, and it's so unique. My thoughts about the print placement has changed since I started making a kimono. I take a step back and look at the whole fabric and the overall balance before cutting the fabric. I thought I had to match the plaids perfectly, but I think it depends on the fabric now. Thanks to kimonos, I discovered a lot. I can't wait to see your new project.Eli cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949922353899249168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201923913088603966.post-8454733009890306252018-11-18T15:44:10.716+09:002018-11-18T15:44:10.716+09:00Oh my goodness, this is absolutely gorgeous.

I want to copy your wonderful idea, but I don't think I have time for everything! You really have done a wonderful job, and the pattern placement of the cranes is perfect. I guess that in traditional kimono making there are lots of rules aobut where to place patterns - no doubt all steeped in tradition and symbolism.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201923913088603966.post-72095579427057421572018-11-17T19:11:29.489+09:002018-11-17T19:11:29.489+09:00Thanks so much Josephine!'m very pleased😊Thanks so much Josephine!'m very pleased😊Eli cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949922353899249168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201923913088603966.post-47488418985003748972018-11-17T19:10:00.671+09:002018-11-17T19:10:00.671+09:00Many thanks to Beth!

I think it's similar with Western clothes as well, sometimes it's difficult to place the patterns on the fabric so the motives wouldn't look strange, like a single flower on one boob for example... *^V^* Or, when you use the checkered fabric.<br />Anyway, I like your version of the jacket, it has a strong woman impact, with the epaulettes and big collar. I like the comparison of you wearing the kimono and a jacket, it shows how the same fabric can change the outfit. Great job!
