**PLEASE NOTE**
I am no longer selling to addresses outside the UK.
I can only mail to UK addresses because of Brexit's horrendously complex nightmare of requirements for sending items overseas. It is just way too complicated a procedure for the very few sales I make overseas, so I am extremely sad to have to cease sending packages to any address outside the UK. I am so, so sorry about this.

Uses for Japanese kimono and obi fabrics
Many people use the wonderful fabrics from Japanese kimonos and obi to make other things, such as cushions, table and bed runners, bags, patchwork items, framed pictures or converted into striking, western-world style clothing, such as dresses, skirts and jackets.
Here you can see a selection of sumptuous cushions and tote bags made using silk from obis and, below those, courtesy of a site called japonic.com, a couple of nice examples of dresses made from kimonos; a black dress made using the silk from a tomesode kimono and a red one made from an embroidered furisode kimono.
