Contempary Kimono...Stitching Complete on the Main Body

The hand stitching for the kimono has moved along quicker than I thought and I'm very pleased.  Just so you can keep you with what I'm doing, here are the previous posts on this subject:

1.  Inspiration...Kimono Jacket
2.  Comtemporary Kimono...The Planning
3.  Contemporary Kimono...The Time Had Come to Start

Here are the finished components:

Front

Back

Sleeves

The only decision left now is the front band.  I'm really leaning toward using a blank band on the front.  Here's an approximation of what it would look like:

Black Front Band

The other choice would be is use the same fabric as the rest of the jacket.   Next post on this subject will be the completed jacket.

Happy Stitching!
