How to make
[Karaginu, Mo and Uchiki]
You can print my design from here.
You may not be able to easily weave if you won't divide the back-corsage
into 4 pieces at yellow line.
I wove the Part of the Mo which are protruding from Uchiki
with the white sewing machine thread.
It is for the flexbility.
We make 2 sashes of Mo the width of 4 grains of seed beads.
The color of beads are silver.
We weave they with the white sewing machine yarn.
Then we put them on the edge of the Karaginu.
The belt of Mo is made the width of 6 gains of seed beads.
The color of beads of purple.
First, we make a large circle and a ribbon.
Then, we fold the ribbon and attach it to the circle's center.

seed bead 11/0 (white, red).
This time, we don't make belt of Hakama.
[Ougi]
