Hey guys! Good morning from Tokyo. I'm on the

like edge of Tokyo today, right on the edge, between

today. Behind me you can see all these kimono.

I get to choose the one that I wanna work with

I don't know too many details about it because my friend,

who hasn't arrived yet I hope she's okay, she should be

here any minute, but she's the one who signed us up for this class

Umm i think we're gonna be making like obi.

Wow okay, so apparently we're gonna make the actual kimono itself

So we get to choose the fabrics we wanna use

I've never, yeah I've never done anything like this before, I've worn a kimono

a couple times, for photo-shoots, but I've never been able

to make my own so this is pretty exciting

I will put the link to this air bnb activity down below so if you guys are going

to be in Tokyo, you can sign up for it yourselves, and let's get started!

So, now for the hard part of choosing which one.

And there's also a whole bunch more in here

Alright, so now we have the task of choosing a kimono, do you know which

I was thinking either cream or purple but there are so many pretty ones to choose from - I know right like

even if you choose the colour you want it still doesn't really narrow it down much!

cos there's so many - Even, I don't really like yellow

there's some really fancy, silky ones.. This one?

Yeah i like this one, It's really pretty.

-I really like it - I really can't choose

I like it with your hair colour -Really? - Yeah

Do you wanna try this one and see which one you like better?

Maybe try perhaps -Yeah, try it, let's see

So, first Mio took the kimono that we chose from the rack

Because I thought what we were gonna do was

was like finish off this kimono, I thought it was one that was just

but, actually, what we're gonna do is cut this kimono in half

So that it's like a two part kimono that can be easily worn by one person

An actual kimono's pretty hard to put on by yourself so this is kinda like,

So we started off by cutting our kimono in half

And then we folded a one inch hem on the bottom

And then she gave us this sticky finishing tape

If any of you are sewers out there, let me know

And we didn't have to use a sewing machine for that part

to the top part of the bottom half. I'm not quite sure what it's for

I guess we'll find out, when we go to put it on later

It's kind of hard cos I need to pick up the top layer

And make sure the thread doesn't show on the other side

one on each side. This is the bottom half

And now I've got to do that again on the top half. So..

Last time I was hand sewing something was probably
