Kimono REinvent


Hindsight is a wonderful thing

a before shot of this REinvent would have meant I probably wouldn't have to say anything 

about the talent behind Inges vision & execution
of this the best-Kimono-REinvent-to-date




Kimonos are notoriously tricky to play with

due to the meticulous hand stitching & layers of folded fabric
not to mention the dense weave silk
which seems to repel pins & machine needles 


While keeping the integrity of the orginal garment intact

Inges courageous & curious creative spirit
coupled with her love of a challenge

and a little help from the 
Change of Heart Skirt pattern

meant turning a gorgeous yet unwearable garment
into a stunning very wearable two piece outfit
was a success


and the friend who gave her the Kimono in the first place
wont be getting it back!
