About this website

Please use the menu bar above to read about me, etc. What I made or mended in the past are showcased in the blog entries. I believe in making quality handmade items, mending/repairing and upcycling/remaking previously loved fabric items as much as possible. (I'm sorry, but I no longer accept translation/interpreting orders from new clients.)

Kimono remake pouches

These are made of previously loved Japanese kimono or kimono obi (sash) fabrics. 

I believe in giving previously loved textile items new lives by remaking them into something else. Since I enjoy making bags and pouches, I often remake them into this kind of pouches. The ones on the left are made of wool fabrics from kimono (yes, not all kimono are made of silk), and the ones on the right are made of obi (these are silk).
