A scene like a Japanese woodblock print: Graceful figures in kimonos in burgundy, teal, moss green and terracotta play music and linger among blooming cherry branches, while cranes and golden butterflies float between them. The watercolor-like background in mint and ivory makes the bold kimono colours shine. Festive with burgundy, teal or gold, light and spring-like with cream and white.

Material & Quality

The Italian silk satin with 5% elastane has an elegant sheen that makes the colours of the print look particularly brilliant. The fine stretch ensures a comfortable fit, even with figure-hugging cuts, without losing its softly flowing drape.

What You Can Sew With It

• Kimono jackets: a loose kimono jacket – the obvious statement piece for this design.
• Blouses: a stand-collar blouse or a wrap top.
• Dresses: a sheath dress or a simple midi dress that lets the print stand out.
• Scarves & accessories: a large silk scarf or headbands.

Sewing tip: The design has a clear direction – lay all pattern pieces with the figures upright and position the motifs deliberately, for example, placing one figure in the centre of the back. Sew with a fine microtex or stretch needle (size 60–70) and a slightly stretchy stitch, and place pins only in the seam allowance.

Care tip: Hand wash in lukewarm water with silk detergent or have professionally cleaned. Do not wring and iron on the reverse at a low temperature.
