Brad's Kimono

The red kimono has arrived! By all evidence, it seems to be identical to the blue kimono that Brad wears - it has all of the same embroidered butterflies and flowers in the same places.

I'll be digitizing these designs (creating embroidery files) - though it's a taxing process going back and forth from the computer to the embroidery machine - testing, editing, testing, editing, etc.

I'll also be measuring and patterning the kimono itself, as well as creating a file to mark the placements of all the designs.

In the meantime I'm going to drop some of my photos here for reference:

Brad's Robe

I went looking for photos of Brad's robe and realized I've never posted about it! 
So here's some screen caps - it's a basic kimono-style robe. Open armpits and such. No shortage of patterns out there, though it's probably easier to find a robe and just add the embroidery.
