[Tatting Kit] Awashijira (Dots) / Hand-sewn

This is a kit for hand sewing tatsuke. For those who have a set of sewing tools at home, we have put together a kit with all the materials needed to make tatsuke. We can make sizes up to our size 3 (height ~ 180cm, waist ~ 85cm, hips ~ 120cm).

Please use this in conjunction with the " How to Make Tatsuke " booklet.

We have also made a video with detailed instructions on how to make it based on this booklet, which you can watch for free on YouTube .

Fabric: Awashijira 100% cotton, navy dots

This is a polka dot yukata fabric made from Awashijira from Tokushima Prefecture. Shijira weave is carefully woven by hand using indigo dyed thread. It is a fabric that allows air to pass through and is very cool even in midsummer. Because it is made for kimonos, the width of the fabric is smaller than usual, making it easier to make .

・Waist elastic: 1cm wide, 2m long (soft elastic)

Waist string: 1.2cm wide, 2m long (double weave)

・Hand sewing thread: Daruma household thread, 100% cotton, black, thick (#20), 100m

■ Production Story

The Ishiteshiro Clothing Store has released how they make their own pants, and this time they tried making a kit. The reason for this is that, like us, we were generously taught how to make "tatsuke" by local people.

In the past, it was common for everyone to make their own kimonos and for the whole family to wear them. People created their own lifestyles as a matter of course.

Although we cannot practice all the ways of our ancestors, we would like to share with as many people as possible the joy of making things by hand and the pleasure of wearing something you have made yourself, so we hold regular workshops .
