Japanese silk open weave pillow

Finished today another gift…. how many I promised! This is a pillow made of two fabrics of Japanese silk open weave fabric I bought at a big sale from a Japanese gift shop, someone’s lifetime stash of Japanese fabrics. My 21 year old son picked out the two most plain fabrics, both indigo with subtle embellishment, and suggested linen to be added to the narrower piece to make the front, so it would match the size of the wider piece of fabric.

I am delighted at how elegant and simple his design came out. He has good taste. I never pick anything simple myself so it’s a pleasure to see how his sense of design is developing!
