Flower Kimono help...
Hey everybody, thanks so much for your kind words about my flower kimono (a few posts down). I am having a problem, however. The flower embroidery was kind of an after-thought, so I did it after everything was all seamed up. Only problem is, now the wrong side is all messy. I guess it's not that big a deal, but I would kind of like to hide it or at least clean it up a bit. Should I rip out the seams and make a lining and sew it back up again? Any other suggestions? Help!

A little messy is probably to be expected. You could try a liner, but that seems a bit extreme. Fair isle and slipped stitch and embroidery patterns usually have fairly ugly back ends, even when the ends are buried.
I agree. Look at any embroidered baby sweater in any of the nice shops and you will see that is how you can tell they are hand crafted. The private side of the sweater, holds the secret. Yours is beautiful, and I wouldn't do a thing to hide your handwork. Great Job!!
