Yesterday I was given a wonderful present by a very dear friend........my own haori:
(Haori being the mid length coats originally worn by men over their kimono to prtotect their kimono from the elements)
This one is 30 inches long and fifty inches wide with the short sleeves proclaiming married woman status.
G purchased this when she was living in Japan,and it is she who has introduced me to Japanese Kimono fabrics for my CQ....)See Feb 28 posting)
There is no waythat this garment will be "destructed" for my quilting.
I still have to find the courage to do that to the slightly damaged ones I blogged about back on February 28 this year.

What a beautiful haori. I bought a book about making Japanese garments and it's only a matter of time before I give it a try. We also have a lot of access to Japanese patterns here.
Thanks for sharing the picture.
