Brown silk over painted with metallic pearl paint produced a perfect surface to stich my favorite sashiko pattern--the 7 Treasures of Buddha. The variegated silk thread combined with vintage kimono fabrics are pieced,stitched and beaded on this award-winning jacket. the quilted rayon lining is appliqued with the same kimono fabrics to duplocate the stitch pattern and create the Inner Life of this most treasured garment.
