juban to happi
I’ve been a bit sick for a dew days, and I have filled my time by going through the everlasting pile of projects. While at it, I spotted this funky juban I had bought a year ago.
It has such a fun pattern of tigers, mountains and waterfalls with the most lovely of colours. The material is natural fiber, I would guess wool by smell/feel/burn test.
The reason it was sectioned under “to be worked on”, is due to the fact that it is utterly too small for me to be used as it is meant to. I had been meaning to add a section on the shitamae to make this wider, but I had to face another, rather obvious, problem:
this fabric is just too cool to hide as an underlayer never to be seen!
Look at em tigers!
And therefore, I scooped up the juban, measured a little, picked a matchy eri fabric from my stash and got to work. It was a chill job, consisting mostly of undoing old seams and ironing, which was a perfect project for a few evenings while too sick for anything too brainy but wanting something to do.
I am one of those people who enjoy hand stitching and will do it whenever I can
Finished!
Happi october! (Get it? Happi, hehehe)
