Enshu Cotton POP UP ~ Until the end of March 2024
As we announced the other day, thanks to the generosity of Hamamatsu's Ikenuma Ori Studio, we will be able to keep over 100 types of precious fabrics for a long period of time, until the end of March. When I see so many of my favorite cotton fabrics in front of me, I think, ``I want to make this!'' "Can I use half of this fabric and half of this fabric as a substitute? ”, and the fantasy of tailoring spreads. That's why I've been neglecting my blog again, soStarting today, we would like to introduce Enshu Momen little by little through the works of our customers in our Japanese sewing classes.

We received some wonderful photos from a customer from England who purchased Enshu Momen from our store towards the end of last summer.
The dress in the photo is made from Enshu cotton. I was shown an image photo of the same design in a plain color when I purchased the fabric, but I was excited to see how it would turn out if I made it from striped Enshu cotton. .
The customer had a Japanese friend with him and he was also good at Japanese, so we lined up various fabrics and chatted with them, trying things out through trial and error. It's fun to choose fabrics for kimono and clothes and think about coordination! And the thrill of waiting for the finished product is the best part of custom-ordering!
The fabric mainly used this time is Ikenuma Ori Kobo's Enshu Momen Chiorijima series. I was looking forward to seeing the finished photo, but a few months later, before the photo was taken, the person in question personally contacted me.Thank you for visiting our store! The design, which takes advantage of the Chiori-striped pattern with four different stripes woven into it, was very popular on X (formerly Twitter), so although it's been a while, we're introducing it again on our blog.
The Enshu Momen Chiorijima series introduced this time has only a few pieces of fabric available for immediate sale, but we do have samples available in all colors. There may be subtle color differences that are difficult to see online, so if you are in the area, please visit a physical store and see for yourself.
