Tout Finis!

That was fast?
Well I'm pretty sure 6 months is a tad long.
I quit late last night with 2 sides of the en to finish. My family packed up and went for a visit leaving me with some free time so I decided to finish the kesa before Zazen tonight.

Its not "pretty", it may not even be correct or stay together... but here are some pictures.

Thank you so much Taigu!

Your Kesa wouldn't have came into being with out all of your kindness and patience. It was an honor to sew it with you, please pardon my missed, crooked and some very mindless stitches.

I also have to thank you for helping me realize the Kesa that I wear always, even long before I began sewing.

A very deep Gassho
