DUE TO ILL HEALTH I HAVE NOW RETIRED FROM SEWING BOOK AND BIBLE COVERS.
MANY THANKS TO ALL MY PAST CUSTOMERS AND TO FOLKSY.

The pattern is of pretty coloured butterflies with bright flowers, and highlighted with gold-tone metallic paint.

The silk kimono fabric used for this book cover is wonderfully soft, glossy and smooth but quite strong. It was originally meant for a furisode kimono with long sleeves. The most formal kimono worn by young unmarried women in Japan.

Fastens with a vintage glass French button and an elastic loop and is lined with a shaded purple cotton. There is a beaded ribbon bookmark.
