My Aunt is a clothing designer (oyako) who uses vintage kimono fabric in her designs. She pieces together beautiful designs applied to shirts, jackets and bags but always has left over scraps. We are always trying to come up with ways to use these left over pieces because although small, they are still very beautiful.
My mom has been making cards with some of these scraps combined with lots of paper and string that we, as a creative family, have lots of sitting around the house. Here are some she's made:
Although it's only September, it's definitely a good time to prepare for the holidays! These are some cute Christmas cards and gift tags my mom has made.
Today, I went over to my parents house to see what my mom has been up to with the cards and to see if I could come up with some ideas for some Christmas ornaments. Here are some failed attempts, either not cute or too time consuming.
Then, I came up with this design of layered squares. Simple, cute, a good way to mix and match fabrics.
I really need to get my butt into gear and post some more items on Etsy to sell! With the holidays coming up, it is a good time to get some more stuff out there. Its also great to be able to put my head together with the other creative members of my family to make things!
