Sewn Down Under Kimono Vest

I made this #1007 Kimono Vest from a simple purple cotton. It was embellished with a flat rayon yarn in a technique I call "Sewing Down Under" also known as "bobbin work".

 

 

 
After the bobbin work was done, I stippled the rest of the garment (from the top side) with Sulky rayon thread.
Detail of the front. The band was also worked the same way with long channel stitched lines.
Instead of fighting with the thick area of the seam in the back neck, I let the ends remain on the outside, and tied them off in a square knot.

Were you wondering how I got the curly cue design?

I let my lining be the guide this time! The curly cues in the printed lining were the perfect element to follow. And since you sew from the WRONG side, it's an easy task!
