No - not a typo. In the origami book I used there are two kimono-type designs. I couldn't do the kimono without double-sided paper, but the Happi (coat) I could manage.
I do my utmost to use ODBD stamps for their challenges, but the current Shine the Light challenge is notions/seamstress, and with none of their current releases (love the pincushion, just like the first one I remember having ), I had to fall back on letting paper do most of the work for me.
A2 cream base. All papers are Cosmo Cricket Material Girl, including the Happi coat - tough to fold, but with a bone folder it was OK.
I stitched round both panels, cut a tape measure strip from one of the paper designs and added a couple of flat-back buttons. Playing on the Happi coat I stamped a sentiment from Lots of Thoughts using ColorBox Chalk Warm Green.
