Also appeared on NHK's "Suteki ni Handmade"! Mr. Yoshida Misei is very popular for his works using old kimonos and obi. He continues to present his original handmade works on one of the most popular YouTube channels, "Diy Soho Handmade Warehouse." Whether you have old things you don't use at home or a nice kimono you bought cheaply at a recycle shop, why not use these instructions to start a nice remake? I often get asked about kimonos and obi that are sleeping in my closet. It's a very expensive kimono or obi, but it's for formal wear, so isn't it not suitable for remaking? But I recommend that you go ahead and try making one. If you change your perspective, you can make a very beautiful dress. I've made some suggestions in this book that I think everyone will agree with. I think it's important to try anything. Nowadays, antique markets and second-hand kimono fairs are popular among young people.You can get a high-quality kimono for about 500 to 1000 yen a piece.You can remake two or three items from one kimono, so you can make one for just under 200 yen. It's so cheap, and it's one of a kind.Enjoy the fun of wearing your own original items.--From "Introduction"-- CONTENTSPart 1: The basics of remaking old kimonosPart 2: Making various clothesPart 3: Making various accessories Show more
