Gift for my Mother. Geisha is from Katie's Creations, I don't remember where I got the "Love" from. Now for the fabric..Years ago my Mom gave me 2 bundles of fabric, it is 14" wide and I'm not sure how long(never measured length). It is beautiful, very silky feeling. It was folded in a way I had never seen before and tied on the short ends with string. She then explained to me that these 2 bundles of fabric were from a kimono that her Mother made and wore many years before.. I couldn't believe it! When I decided to make her a eyeglass holder today.. I thought what material to use ?? Then I remembered the bundles ! I truly hated to cut some off of one ! But I did ! Here is the result.. I placed the case on the fabric so you can get an idea of what a beautiful piece of material it is...

Great job Jo!!! She will love the glasses case. Especially because you are using the fabric she gave to you from her mothers kimono. Let us know if she recognizes the fabric. *4U ~Carolyn~

It's going to make a beautiful gift and you might want to stick a pack of tissues in it because she just might cry.
