I've watched your helpful video on fabrics, and you've used lighter, drapery fabric. Have you ever used African wax print fabric (Ankara), or if it's too heavy? It's nearly the same width as this, and 6 yards/5.5m long. Helpful video, you're so enthusiastic about your subject!
African wax prints make amazing Yukatas!! This is so exciting! Yes use your fabric to make your Yukata. Check out my other videos, there is one where I make a linen yukata, that fabric is THICK and I went and lined it and still made something truly stunning! I know lots of people who have used a west african wax print and its amazing! Download the sewing pattern aswell its free and on the channel and I am here all the time for any questions you have!
Thanks for responding so quickly! I'll email you a photo of it when it's done, as long as it turns out ok! I've made coats and blouses and stuff, but never Japanese styled clothes, so this is an exciting trip into the sewing unknown. Lining it would be an excellent plan, I'll order a suitable lining. Cheers for your interesting channel
