I’ve been working on stitching down the overlap of the mushi no tareginu (hat curtains).
It’s taking forever. There’s something about the silk gazar fabric that just wears on the thread. I’ve had to cut out knots. Multiple times. The thread actually un-twists itself by the end. So I have to go super slow. This thread is 3 ply.
I had to know. I looked it up. It’s the weave. Gazar is woven with twisted thread. Twists mean texture, this texture is abrasive. Just a little.
I’m using a tiny felling stitch. Like super tiny.
They’re invisible at arms length. Tiny stitches take time. Lucky for me the garments go together with running stitch (which I’m much faster at) and I don’t have to use stitches this fine in many places. Mostly just this one 64 inch seam. Halfway there…
There’s still so much to do!
