Kimono update...
Feb. 16th, 2003 02:15 amOk, so I just spent 2 hours working on kimono. Hokuto's white one (nicknamed "test") is very nearly done. I did it without sleeve linings, but I think the other ones will look much better with the sleeves lined. It is shaped like a kimono and it wears like a kimono. I am a bit worried that it is /way/ to big for Nikki, but I'll have to try it on her once it's done.
Once I finish with this one, I'm going to start on Hinoto's (I acctually might make hers without linings too... beacuse her top layer is just as huge as Hokuto's. I'm also going to see if I can start sketching patterns for Hinoto and Hokuto's over garments, the sleeves will be the only real change for Hinoto and Hokuto's is those sleves plus the body of what my pattern book says is a rain poncho (don't think... CLAMP is insane). I'll also see about borrowing my fathers hakama and seeing how hard they'd be to make.
Appologies to Nick, Corina, J, et al for ditching DnD. Home, family and me-time were really important tonight. Hope everything went all right.
Tommorow we take a family trip (Dad, Carol and all three of the non-baby siblings) to Laramie to see "Spirited Away" and have dinner. Yes, I too am oddly worried about this trip.
Ok, done now. Goodnight.
Bishonen: Mikael (see below) and Clavis (Too gorgeous for anyones good - Move him up to first again)
Bishojo: Noelle (no, this makes no sense, but I watched Tennimon earlier tonight) and Hokuto (Duh!)
