Thread: More pocket Dharma... mini rakusu

    More pocket Dharma... mini rakusu

    I'm always trying to stuff the Dharma in my pockets. This weekend I noticed I had some extra fabric left from my rakusu, so I decided to take a break from kesa sewing and make a tiny, pocket sized rakusu to go with my pocket Zen liturgy.

    Here are some pics of my odd little project.





    Not a true rakusu of course, but a nifty little reminder, and I learned several things while making it:
    - Ironing tiny seams is very difficult
    - The size of the fabric is inversely proportionate to how many times I will accidentally stab myself with a needle

    Wow that is amazing! Wonder how you'll fit the silk on the back!?

    Now you'll have to sew a 27 stripe okesa to go with it.

    I agree, it might take you 3 years like me but it will happen.

    With hands together,
