I finally ran out of the mesh material that I have been using for making hikitate eboshi<\/em>. I had bought maybe 5 yards of it back years ago, and it’s no surprise that eventually I’d use the last bit for something. Anyway, this happened back in December when I went to make a hikitate eboshi<\/em> for a friend who was being elevated to the Order of the Mark<\/a>. Sweetie was able to order a new roll of a new kind of mesh and I wanted to experiment with it.<\/p>\n\n\n

This one is just a tall “pulled” eboshi<\/em> using the latest version of my sewing pattern. I levae them very open at the back now, so they can accommodate a variety of head sizes. The band is white linen.<\/p>\n\n\n

I made four of these total, since I was pleased with how they came out and I know they will be useful as gifts. This is a “folded”eboshi<\/em> using a brand new pattern. I’ve never really made any of these before. The shape is basically just a tate eboshi<\/em>, but it’s folded once to the right, then back to the left. When you tie it dow like here, it gets its distinctive “samurai eboshi<\/em>” shape. The band is black linen, with interfacing inside for comfort. There is a cord inside the band across the back, which can be tightened or loosened to change the size.<\/p>\n\n\n

So this last one is kind of special. I’ve tried making these before, with limited success, but I like how this one came out. It’s a mid-height tate eboshi<\/em> with the expected “face” in the front. It is also adjustable using the cord at the back of the band. The band itself is linen, with interfacing for stiffness. I left large seam allowances at the top, then sewed them open to give the top a more rounded shape and provide more overall body to the eboshi.<\/em> This is more of an “out and about” eboshi<\/em>, not as formal as the other two or as specialty as the samurai eboshi<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m very happy with this new mesh. I has a more “woven fabric” look and less of a “window screen” look to it. It is also slightly lighter and easier to work with. I also like how is has just a little bit of glossy sparkle to simulate lacquering. Thank you very much, B&J Fabrics<\/a> for sending me some swatches so that I could pick the one I liked best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
