Here is my new sewing project.
I found a vintage purse in a local antique mall in December. On the left is my first home-made navy blue goshokago (my March 2013 blog entry) on top the new one, after its handles, metal hinges & clasp were removed, to show relative size.

The painting of a fisherman seems
an appropriate theme for a goshokago
which can be used for an outdoor tea ritual.
|
 |
Because it wasn't lined, it didn't take long
to unfasten the handles, hinges, and clasp.
|
 |
Creating a paper pattern for the lining.
|
 |
The printed silk lining is now sewn onto fabric stiffener.
|
 |
Test fitting the lining.
The same fabric was used to line
the chawan bukuro (tea bowl bag).
|
 |
The basket with most of the contents.
It stills needs a ribbon tie.
|
 |
| All the things for making tea fit inside, (space for whisk is in upper right area). |
Amazing work!
ReplyDeleteOh well done! How did you attach the fabric to the basket?
ReplyDeleteHi Steph,
ReplyDeleteSorry it took a while to reply. The fabric was sewn onto a stiff backing which stays in place because I made it fit snuggly. But, I do sew a few little stitches through the basket weaving to make sure it doesn't come out. That way, I also have the option to change the lining without damaging the basket.
