How to make
[Hosonaga and Uchiki]
You can print my design from here.
You may not be able to easily weave if you won't divide the front-corsage into 3 pieces
and the back-corsage into 4 pieces at yellow line.
I wove the top block of the hosonaga with the transparent sewing machine thread.
It is for the flexbility.
And I wove the second and third block with white thread.
This is because of softness.
[Body]
We are going to use fishing gut and
seed bead 11/0 (glossy white, red).
This time, we don't make belt of Hakama.
To represent the short,
one step less than the adult size portion of the white Kosode.
