Obi 1

Here's something I made a few months ago, but only attached the strings this evening. I love the obis at fantastic Melbourne shops like Queen, but simply couldn't justify the purchase. Also, as soon as you begin sewing in earnest, your internal monologue starts chanting 'I could make that'.

The only upcycled part of this project was the maroon silk fabric which I found in an op-shop and which was inexplicably glued to a piece of paper???? The Japanese fabric was quilting material bought from Lincraft and ribbon from Spotlight.

Also, it's reversible. Here's Genevieve modeling the inside.
