I will explain about "Children's Yukata and Jinbei's Fabric and Scale".
We appreciate it if you can refer.




Q1: Which fabric is suitable for making Yukata

A: We recommend "Isemomen Cotton Handkerchief" and "Isemomen Cotton Tokuoka" fabrics.
Just different clogging conditions, both fabrics are woven with the same yarn,
It is characterized by its soft touch and very good.
・" Isemomen Cotton Handkerchief" fabric is used in many of the clothes sold at Warabegi Kid's Section.
・" Isemomen Cotton Tokuoka" is said to be a higher grade fabric among Handkerchief.
The thread density is higher than that of "Isemomen Cotton Handkerchief" fabric, so the fabric has a firm feel.
Yukata may also be used as a yukata fabric.
Others Chizimi Cotton", which is characterized by its breathability and crispness of the fabric, but it may be difficult to handle due to its elasticity, so it is not recommended for beginners.

Q2: Please tell me the required number of meter (draft) for the fabric.

A: "Estimated scale" for Width of Fabric / approx. 35 cm is shown.
* Please be careful about the Width of Fabric you are using.

■ Children's Yukata

■ Children Jinpei



Q3: Is it better to have watering through before making it?

A: After washing, there is shrinkage of about 3%.
I think that it is not necessary especially for children's size as it is a little shrinkage.
There are lots of events such as summer festivals and fireworks festival from now on.
