Snakeskin Kimono

This is a short Kimono jacket that I made from the snakeskin draft that I posted awhile ago:

It's lined with silk also.   I have a couple of vintage Kimonos, and used them to make the pattern.  It was one of the easiest things to sew, and used almost every bit of the fabric.  The little tie at the front isn't traditional, but works better for a modern jacket.   Note that the pockets are in the sleeves.   I'm in the process of weaving a fabric for a long sleeve version of the pattern.

The draft is here:
