Okay, here is the Kosode I've been working on.

This is the outfit I am trying to make.

Lots of layers in this one, my next layer will be yellow and then the pants will be red. It hard to see in my pic but the Kosode is a cream color with a diamond pattern. Neat thing about the Heian era - women's hair was down to the floor! ;D

Holy cow!! I am amazed. Will you have to put a similar collar on the 2nd layer as the first?

Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for posting the pics.

Yeah, I like sewing too, but I get impatient quickly and frustrated when I make big mistakes.
Good luck on the rest of your first big project
