Do kimono have inner pockets? I always remember seeing actors in movies stuffing things into their kimono so I’m wondering if they have inner pockets?
Stuffing things into your kimono is part of the fun of wearing one :D
Kimono don't have pockets in the Western sense of the word, but thanks to their tailoring they do have places one can stash trinkets. Main ones are:
Tamoto 袂, the pocket part of a kimono sleeve. Back of women's ones are open (but sleeves are longer and weight of item is often enought to keep them in place). Men's ones are sewn shut and so perfect to act as pockets.
Futokoro is the “pocket” created between the kimono left fold and the obi (when worn women style). Men also tuck things at a similar place near their obi but I don't know if that is called the same.
if you wear one, sarashi (long bleached cotton cloth) was used by both sexes as a kind of binding undergarment, and could be used to hold items (it is a famous cliché in yakuza movie to menacingly have a blade tucked into their belly sarashi).
You can also tuck things into your obi, nowadays this is especially true for fans. Sensu are tucked up front, uchiwa in the back
Besides carrying things simply in small woven baskets or furoshiki (fabric squares), people also used many kinds bags and pouches, you can check this past note (and see an irl tamato otoshi in this note).
Maggy Steelfeather, My kobold artificer (battlesmith), that I hope will end up multiclassing into Drakewarden Ranger for maximum dragon pet hoarding... maybe I will add ritual caster with find familiar with a pseudodragon on top of that.
Idealistic, polite and pretty nerdy, Maggy is a teacher for her community, having been in charge of taking care of the younglings of her warren for more than 13 years. She now wants to venture into the world to learn more about its history, and pass it down to the new generations.
I got two of these hydrangea print pouches sewn up recently and put them up on Etsy today. I tried to go for a softer pink than the tea towels I've used this print for in the past, which I think really works. These pouches are the larger size I first started sewing, which is somehow much easier to sew than the slightly smaller variety. That also gives me a chance to show off more of the print so I think I will make a few more in this size for a bit of variety.
As always these are up on Etsy here. I recently sold out of my ever popular sunflower tea towels (I worked out I'd sold 20 of those online alone, which is a much higher number than any of my other pieces) but I am planning on printing more very soon. I'm also thinking of printing some more tea towels in this print, possibly in a brighter pink, before I get back to new design ideas.
Today, im happy to share two new mushroom themed Bloom Bags in the shop now.
Also, just a quick reminder that today is your last chance to get 20% off everything in the shop. So if you're looking for some mushroom themed merch, or fantasical fungi fashion, now is your chance. :)
