After the juban, I plan on making the one thing that won't use juban! The Yukata. The video will be my main instructions since I also want to make this with a machine. But there are some things I plan to add because it is a white yukata.
Ruka Yukata
Pattern/Instructions
Other Resources:
- Ishiki ate - This is the thing I'm going to add to the yukata. I like to call it the CYA panel. That is partly what it does. In addition to modesty, it is supposed to take some of the pressure off the center back seam when sitting or kneeling in a kimono. So it doesn't get split up the back seam.
It can be a small patch that you blind stitch by hand to the bum area. Or it can take up the whole back two panels. I'm doing the version in between. It will stretch between the 2 back side seams and hang from the uchiage seam.
This CYA panel is typically found on hitoe (unlined kimono) made of thin silks. It can also go into a nagajuban.
Materials
- Fabric: White Peachskin (Polyester)
- Thread: White Cotton
- Needle: Microtex 70
- Sewing Foot: Walking foot for basting, Hem foot for hemming, Blind hem foot for top stitching and blind hems.
Techniques
My Process:
- Read instructions included with the pattern and compare it to the tutorial video.
- Baste seams then serge to finish them with a narrow serge hem.
- Sew in the reinforcement for the back seam. (Ishiki ate)
- Add collar with stay cloth where I cut the fabric to make room for the neck. (To prevent fraying)
- Using scrap fabric, test the heat transfer sheets. If they work, transfer the flower designs to the designated parts.
- Create the Heko Obi by using the wide hem foot and just hemming all 4 sides.
