Sewing my first Furoshiki / 初めての風呂敷作り

in #hive-1279114 months ago

Last night, I finally finished sewing my first furoshiki. Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese square cloth used for wrapping and carrying various items.

I had seen a special presser foot called a "rolled hem foot" on Instagram, which makes neat three-fold hems, and I had been wanting to try it for a long time. I decided to order it to give my furoshiki a clean finish.

At first, things didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped, so I spent about an hour practicing with scrap fabric, watching tutorial videos, and reading blog posts online until I figured out my own way of sewing it neatly. I’ll share more about that in another post.

After staying up late and sewing four furoshiki with attached bands, I took them to a flea market organized by my friends today. It was such a joy to see people showing interest in something I made with my own hands.

Since I stayed up late last night, today’s post will be short 😉 I’m happy to be posting again for Needlework Monday after a long time.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

昨晩、最初の風呂敷を縫い上げました。

以前、インスタグラムでミシンに取り付けると三つ折りがきれいにできる「三つ巻き金具」という抑え金具を知り、長い間使ってみたいと思っていました。風呂敷をきれいに仕上げるために注文し、使ってみることにしました。

最初は思ったようにうまくいかず、インターネットでチュートリアル動画やブログ記事を見て、コツをつかむために1時間ほど端切れで練習して、自分なりの上手い縫い方を見つけました。これはまた改めて投稿します。

夜更かしして4枚縫って帯をつけて、今日友人たちが開催したフリーマーケットに持って行きました。自分の手で作った作品を直接見てもらい、興味を持ってもらえるのはとてもうれしかったです。

昨日調子に乗って久しぶりに夜更かししてしまったので、今日の投稿は短めで😉久しぶりにNeedlework Mondayに投稿できてうれしいです。

みなさん良い週末を!

What a beauty! You reminded me of when I had my first furoshiki! learning Japanese wrapping techniques was a great passion! I had never made one, and I love to know about the materials you use for it. I congratulate you and send you a big hug!
