Yellow Bomaki Rayon Yardage

A gradated rayon piece. Yellows to red. I'm really pleased with this. I did this pattern before on silk and had a hoodie made from it.

Spring Bomaki

Spring is here! And so is spring colored bomaki. Purples, light blues, light greens, and a deep pink. Made me think of easter, it was a lot of fun to work with and I'm glad I have 6 yards of it. It did take two rounds on the pole to get it just so, but well worth the extra work.

Out of the Archives - for a good viewing

You have just seen this one on the blog, but I'm proud of it. It's the latest sublimation print, the fish/net with the blue background. It was a good experiment and I'm pleased it worked out. It was great fun to do and a lot of fun to print.

Here is the neutral checkerboard print sublimated poly cotton. I made this into a duvet cover for my parents, and it's also being made into a dress. The fabric is nice and light and has a fabulous hand to it. I really like this technique and this print. It's a lot of fun to do.


The Silver satin bomaki and the Black satin bomaki. The black has been made into some shrugs by Sophie and Gwendallyn and you can get one at Haught Style. The silver was made into a cute cowl neck top, but I think it would make a fabulous mother of the bride suit, whether with pants or a straight skirt.



The Green Silk, the Pink Silk, and the Yellow Silk. The green silk was made into a dress, but I still have close to 10 yards of it, and the yellow silk was made into a beach hoodie and is nothing but scraps now. The pink silk, I have 3 yards of and noone seems to know what to do with it. It's not my usual color choices, I was taking a risk. I guess that's just what happens.

The bronze bomaki. This one has been made into jackets and scarves by Sophie and Gwendolynn, and they are for sale at Haught Style in Prairie Village (that's in Kansas folks).

My Fabric is in KC Magazine!

Here's the Black Bomaki shrug that Sophie and Gwendalynn made from my fabric! I am in a magazine! My name isn't in the magazine, but the fabric is. That's what matters. I had no idea about the photo being published (or taken) so it was quite a surprise when I heard from Laura McGrew of Tomboy Design (http://www.tomboydesign.net/) that my fabric was in the magazine! The shrug and a swing coat made from the Brown Bomaki are for sale at Haught Style in Prairie Village shops (near Minsky's).

Silver Satin Discharged Bomaki Top

This one just turned out wonderfully. The front of the piece is on a diagonal so the striations are also diagonal, if you look closely you can see it. It feels great and the fabric moves beautifully. Laura McGrew of Tomboy Design created this look as well as the jacket below. Kudos Laura! And many thanks from me and my "Model".

Discharged Brown Satin Bomaki

At last we get to see a beautiful jacket made from the brown bomaki satin fabric! It is lined with dark purple silk and has a matching dark purple silk top to wear under it. Looks great in person, feels great too!

Yellow Silk Hoodie

This yellow variegated silk made a gorgeous hoodie tunic. The top was made by Laura McGrew of Tomboy Design. See Sites I Like for a link to her website. She makes wonderful clothes.

The Green Silk becomes clothes!

Here's some of the green silk bomaki finally made up into an outfit designed and made by Laura McGrew of Tomboy Design, see Sites I Like for a link to her website.

Brown "Al Verso" Scarf

Brown satin bomaki with brown velvet on the reverse. This one is over 7 feet long, more than long enough to wrap around you and have some left to show off. Plus it was fun to make!

Pink and Yellow Silk Bomaki

Variegated pink and yellow silk bomaki. I am really very pleased with the way this one came out. It's nice and bright in person. I used a 10 momme silk for it, it would be just as nice with an 8 momme as well, lighter weight too.

Black Velvet Bomaki Scarf

Black velvet scarf with black satin bomaki tips. It is about 9 feet long, perfect for wrapping up in. Feels wonderful and soft too. I plan on making more out of some of my other bomakis. Keep posted!

Foundation Colors

The foundation palate of colors available. These are all satin bomaki resists. The colors are from the upper left and going clockwise; silver, lavender, raspberry, brown, and black. The fabric is 45" wide and available up to 15 yards long. I also have the black/brown velvet bomaki resist available, and it is also 45" wide, but can only go up to 8 yards long.

The Next Step Section 2

This section of the green silk bomaki shows how the color can get to be more intense in a different area of the piece. This photo shows two sections, one above the watermark and one below.

The Next Step

This is a 11 yard long piece of silk that I dyed using the bomaki method. It's too bad you can't feel how light and soft this piece of fabric is. I am pleased with the way it came out. This is only showing half of the width of it. It is a whole 45" wide, though, as usual, you lose the edges of the fabric due to the line where the stitches were put in, so actually it's more like 40" wide usable width.

Silver Bomaki

More Black Bomaki Yardage

This time I photographed it all crumpled up just for variety. This piece is 11 yards long by 45 inches wide. ELEVEN YARDS. This is getting big. I like these larger pieces although they take so very much longer to do. It's worth it in the long run I believe.

Even MORE Brown Satin Bomaki

Today I finished up THIRTEEN YARDS of the brown satin bomaki. THIRTEEN YARDS. That is almost a four story building tall! It came out well. I'm not posting a photo of it since I posted one the other day. This is by far the most yardage I have ever done.

Brown Satin Bomaki Yardage

Six yards of the brown satin bomaki. That is a lot of bomaki.

Black Satin Bomaki Yardage

This bomaki piece is 6 yards long by 45 inches wide. This image is just a small part of the whole piece. Finally I am able to do larger size yardage. Hopefully somebody out there will want to make something out of it, or of some of the other yardage that I am planning on doing later this week. I've got my fingers crossed!

Bronze Bomaki

The bronze satin bomaki is about 4 yards long and there are two of them. I think they look kind of like marble in a way. This photo isn't the greatest, but it does serve to get the point across.
