My first attempt at a zigzag stitch. Second time was a charm, but feeling confident, the flip side didn't go so well. Time for a tea break and a do-over. #千鳥　#手縫い #zigzag #stitch #半纏 #wasai #和裁
初めてやってみた千鳥がけ。
調子に乗ってもう片方もやってみたら、失敗😂
お茶を一服してから、やり直すか🍵

The end is in sight! Just have to smooth out the cotton in the collar, pin it down and sew it up!

綿がずれないように、まだ綴じないとね。でも、やっと終わりが見えてきて嬉しい😄 あともうひと頑張り！

The cotton is finally in and it's starting to look like a Hanten.

綿を入れましたよ。
やっと半纏っぽくなってきたね。😊

When you start sewing kimono, you need a sewing mat called a heradai. (ヘラ台). Here's mine. The reverse side is chock full of information. #sewing #mat #和裁 #ヘラ台
