yet some more sewing

scads of  short narrow handwoven fabrics which cannot make a whole garment.what to do,what to make? found some narrow linen that i had bought in nara which could be pared with the silks ,but had no further idea.so grateful for pinterest. thanks to it will be drafting a pattern for a pieced top.

here's yet another one  this time re purposed linen from a much loved  dress. the skirt was box pleats so i'll have enough for something else.let's see what i find in pinterest   <(￣︶￣)>

and now the artsies.

160, one day i went to kyomizutera already finished. i am working with shifu and silk weaving chapters of sei shonagon's the pillow book. such a beautiful read and  i feel lucky to have the morris translationon this second reading i captured some nuances that had escaped me and thought it would be a good project to translate it to textiles. chose weavable chapters at random and it is  slowly, as it's been worked on the table loom, progressing.
