From Fabric to Finish: Yukata

A new style for a New Year!

My winter version of a yukata will be made in brushed cotton.  It will be comfortable, flattering, and easy to wear.  I have also added some style detail which is not usually found in the traditional yukata, such as reinforced pockets.

All levels of ability are welcome!
