And the Beat Goes On

Painting by Hung Lui

I can see that kimono altering is going to be a long-term phase, just like it was the first time around.  That hemming and hawing from the other day actually paid off - I ended up deciding against the doo-dads and am going with

discreet and invisible snaps after all.  Just have to sew them on (tonight's work), and the top is finished!

The skirt is under major re-write, but I think I have it all mocked-up now.  Adding so-called hidden pockets for some breathing room (literally!) and strategic placing of matching, wide and somewhat heavy, lace to provide a little more cover on those revealing side slits.

Meanwhile I'm wearing a flannel shirt and jeans while it's cold and rainy outside!
