Patterns for the home!
Ta-da... Ikatee is launching Ikatee Home, a new line dedicated to the home with patterns for accessories that are as practical as they are stylish. For every room in the house, we offer a mix of useful everyday creations and decorative items! Discover Osaka, our first pattern for the kitchen.
Osaka consists of 5 accessories for the kitchen and dining room: placemats and napkins, a tea towel, Japanese apron and shopping bag. True to form, we have designed these patterns with several design options, meticulous finishes and accessible techniques, suitable for all levels of sewing. We guide you step by step to complete these models from start to finish! Easy to sew, the towel and tea towel set is ideal for beginners looking to get started in sewing home accessories. The apron and tote bag do not present any real technical difficulties; the finishes just require a little extra attention to detail.

Japanese apron
The apron is available in one size for adults. It fits both women and men, covering more or less of the back depending on the wearer's build. It is easy to put on thanks to its crossed straps. It has a large front pocket, which can be divided into compartments, and is finished to a high standard (English seams, facings and neckband). This apron is perfect for cooking, but also for gardening or pottery.
Sewing techniques
Three Osaka video tutorials are available free of charge to guide you through your projects. With these videos, you will discover all our tips for sewing these patterns and exploring their different options, optimising your sewing time and achieving impeccable finishes.
Washed linen, gabardine or canvas?
We have brought together all the fabrics we used to sew these designs: washed linen or lightweight denim for the set, towel, tea towel and apron, and thicker fabrics for the bag, such as gabardine, medium or heavy canvas, or denim. Bonus: all other supplies are available on our online shop: ecru, black or navy cotton twill ribbons, straps and carabiners for the tote bag, and fabric glue to make it easier to attach the ribbons.
If you want to add different coloured panels to the tote bag, we recommend using fabrics of similar weight for a harmonious finish. You will find the fabric measurements per colour in the supplies table on the product page: it's easy, everything is taken care of!

Tote bag
The tote bag can be made in a single colour, two colours or three colours. It is unlined and features cotton twill ribbon piping, long and short handles and a keyring attachment. The tote bag has large pockets on the outside at the front and inside at the back to balance the load. It is designed to be open, without a fastening, for practicality when shopping; this makes it a lightweight bag that is quick to sew and easy to fold for storage. It can be used as a shopping bag or beach bag, for example.
