A stole, obiage, or heko obi made from multiple pieces of sewn fabric.

Abstract

Based on the concept of SDGs, we are thinking about how we can tackle this as part of the "responsible production and consumption" of valuing things and not producing waste, and we are offering stoles, obiage, and heko obi made from multiple pieces of fabric sewn together, making good use of what is already available. [Solution] A stole, obiage, or heko obi made using multiple pieces of sewn together fabric 1, with the fabric surface made of multiple types of fabric sewn together in a patchwork pattern as the outer fabric and the stretchy fabric surface as the inner fabric, and characterized by the fact that it can be used to remake kimonos that are no longer worn often or obi that are no longer used, not just for their original purposes.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a stole and obiage or heko obi that are worn around the body, characterized by using fabric on the front and a tie-dyed obi on the back and sewing them together. [Background technology]

[0002] Stoles, like shawls and mufflers, are not only a cold weather protection item, but also a clothing accessory and decorative piece. Therefore, appearance and convenience are inseparable, and it is essential to have items that combine unique design with convenience. Meanwhile, kimonos and obi, originally worn as traditional Japanese clothing, have become less readily incorporated into modern fashion and have fewer uses, resulting in them becoming a gathering dustbin in closets. They also take up space, are easily damaged, and require a lot of care, so they are often discarded and not needed. In line with the current concept of SDGs, we have developed attractive stoles, obiage, and heko obi, as an effort to cherish things and reduce waste.

[0003] [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3180133 Registered Utility Model Public Relations Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention] This project aims to utilize fabrics that are often discarded. Kimonos and obi, originally worn as traditional Japanese clothing, have become less readily incorporated into modern clothing, have fewer uses, and take up space in storage, resulting in little need and being discarded. Based on the current concept of SDGs, as stated in the 12th item, "Responsible Consumption and Production," we must consider what we can do to cherish things and reduce waste, and work together to solve this problem. Rather than simply discarding kimonos and obi that are no longer worn, we can repurpose them and give them new life, leading to a more cherished use of things. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to remake and reuse unused kimonos and other items. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] This invention utilizes a patchwork of multiple fabrics sewn together to form the outer fabric, and a stretchy fabric as the lining. By using a stretchy shibori obiage or shibori heko obi for the lining, the entire stole is stretchy, allowing it to be worn regardless of body size. The patchwork-like outer fabric allows you to enjoy multiple different colored and patterned fabrics at the same time, and it can also be used as its original purpose, as an obiage or heko obi, regardless of size. It is even more preferable if kimono fabric is used for the outer fabric of the patchwork portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] Traditional Japanese kimonos and obi belts, which tend to be discarded these days, are remade and sewn together to preserve their original charm while being reborn as stoles, shawls, mufflers, and other items that are both cold weather gear and decorative items, with an emphasis on appearance and convenience. These items combine practicality with appearance and convenience, and can be picked up by many people and reused for a long time. Furthermore, by using tie-dyed obiage and tie-dyed heko obi belts for the sewn fabric and obi belts, the overall fabric is stretchy, allowing them to be worn by people of all sizes. [Brief explanation of the drawings] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram illustrating a fabric according to the present invention. [Figure 2] 1 is a diagram showing an example of use of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows the appearance of the stole, obiage, and heko obi of the present invention.

[0006] In Figure 1, the stole is made from a tie-dyed obiage 3 and patchwork fabric 1 (1A-1F) with stitches 2 (2a-2e), and how to use it is explained in the following items. 3a and 3i are the ends of the stole and obiage or heko obi according to the present invention.

[0007] Figure 2(a) shows an example of how it can be worn as a stole. When wearing the stole in Figure 1 around your neck, you can wrap it with the patchwork fabric surfaces 1A to 1F facing out, or with the tie-band surface 3 facing out, or you can wrap it with either side facing out in any proportion you like by shifting each side slightly. Taking advantage of the elasticity of the tie-band, you can wrap it stretched out, or with some slack, or you can tie it.

[0008] Figure 2(b) shows an example of its use as an obiage. When wearing the stole in Figure 1 as an obiage around the waist, you can wrap it with the patchwork fabric surfaces A-1F facing out, or with the tie-dyed obi surface 3 facing out on the back, or you can shift each side slightly and wrap it with both sides facing out in any proportion you like. You can use the stretchiness of the tie-dyed obi to create slack to make it look like lace, or you can use the slack when tying it on top to make it look like a flower.

[0009] Figure 2(c) shows an example of how it can be worn as a heko obi. When wearing the stole in Figure 1 as a heko obi around the waist, you can wrap it with the patchwork fabric surfaces 1A to 1F on the front facing out, or with the tie-dyed obi surface 3 on the back facing out, or you can shift each side slightly and wrap it with both sides facing out in any proportion you like.

[0010] The patchwork parts may increase or decrease. There are also multiple suture points, and the number may increase or decrease. Furthermore, although this invention has been explained using cloth fabric, old kimonos are also suitable from a cost-effectiveness perspective. Also, although the fabric part on the front is explained as six patchwork pieces, the patchwork fabric can be more or less.
