An Asian Addiction

It all started with a vintage Singer sewing machine back in 1978 when I asked my mother to teach me how to sew. From there I've progressed to becoming a textile collector, designer, teacher, and writer, with several articles in Stitch Magazine.

My focus has been Japanese textiles since 2004, and I opened KimonoMomo in 2005. I've been here on Etsy since 2007, closed the shop in June, 2012, and reopened in December 2012 when I realized I couldn't stay away.

I am often asked "Why Japanese textiles?"

1) Because they are beautiful. Growing up near San Francisco I was exposed to a tremendous amount of Asian art, and my mother was a textile junkie who quilted and collected Japanese fabrics herself. It rubbed off on me.

2) Because they are the best. When I am in Japan I meet artists, designers, textile dyers, and vintage kimono dealers. Everyone has an amazing story to share, and they are all as excited about textiles as I am. The level of quality is so high in Japan that there truly are no bad fabrics, at least in my experience. Silk that is considered "inferior" for domestic use is sent to other countries, where it will become something other than a kimono.

3) Because they last for a century. Japanese silk is produced to an exceptionally high grade, and a kimono custom made for a young woman today is expected to be handed down to her daughter and granddaughter. The silk will last, if properly cared for, which is why I collect so many of them for reuse.
