Sweetie and I were in a fabric store<\/a> a few weeks ago, and they had a selection of faux boro<\/a><\/em> fabric in several colorways. I really don’t need another happi<\/em> coat, but they always come in handy and are a way to add another layer to a basic outfit as the evening cools off at Pennsic. Plus, one of the colorways was “black and gold”, which fits into the aesthetic we have here in the Debatable Lands<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Happi from Black & Gold Faux-Boro Cotton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Happi <\/em>were some of the first<\/a> Japanese garments I ever made for SCA wear, and they are still fun to make. They have a partial lining that helps to make them very durable. They are a good use for a a few yards of fabric that would be uncomfortable or distracting to wear as just about any other garment. The pattern I use is based on Folkwear 129, “Japanese Hapi & Haori<\/a>“, but I no longer really need to refer to the pattern, I can just make one mostly from memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to save this one probably until January, then wear it at our Baronial 12th Night<\/strong> event, which is the SCA’s version of a Winter Holiday party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
