They are so beautiful! The silk ones and the painted one is very lovely. Can I ask about the seams? Is it a design feature to sew the inner and outer seams together so that you can see the edges? I've made blouses and coats etc and always try and hide the seams as much as possible. I guess it's down to how nice the seams look? I've enjoyed watching your videos, keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words! The seams are exposed when you “back” instead of “line” a garment. It takes more time to do because it usually has to be hand sewn to hold them down and open. This is why it is rarely seen or taught. It is something you choose to do for the reasons I covered but any pattern would advise you otherwise because of the extra work. They do look great, especially on the first one with the highly textured fabric
Thanks for that! We definitely weren't taught backing when I learnt to sew! I can see the advantages as the backing fabric reinforces the lighter fabric, rather than just being a lining. Cheers for your reply. @@houseofkimono

Thank you for your interest! I love that I have a place where I just talk about kimono and sewing with people!
