Tutorial: Make your own hakamaby `taeliac

Resources & Stock Images / Designs & Patterns

If you are having problems still with this PDF, I'm sorry that there isn't anything more I can do to help - yes, it is an absolutely huge file to download, because it is full of photographs of many of the steps. Be patient.

You need Adobe Acrobat Reader or similar to view this PDF

Also! This is a big file (almost 40mg) compressing it was causing problems with it being downloaded, so I'm reuploading it without any compression~

Please, if you make something with this tutorial (or any of my other one's), send me a link to it - I really want to see it!

OMFG. Okay, I've been working on this on and off for the past week, and really wanted to get it posted before I leave for the weekend. Not to mention, it has been my most requested tutorial, too. And, I have to say, I'm very happy with it.

Just like my kimono pattern tutorial, this is my methodology for creating (fake) hakama for cosplay purposes.

The pictures for this were taken while I was working on my Mai from Avatar: The Last Airbender commission, and that is where I got the methodology down.

It is long, and you do have to do math. Read through the whole tutorial first, before attempting to make it, so you understand the points.

As with all of my tutorials, they're wordy, because I want you to understand everything that you are doing. I abhor tutorials that are "and then do this, and then do this, and then this, and then you're done," especially for things that are sewing based off of measurements. You need to understand what you are doing.

This also may be more advanced than some peoples sewing skills are at, I would tag this as a "MEDIUM" tutorial, in terms of difficulty. You need to know how to hem something, press something, and what words like "seam allowance" mean.

These are not historically or Kendo accurate hakama, so there is no need to point that out to me in a comment - I know, that's why the word "fake" is on the preview image!

If you do want to make more historically accurate hakama, Folkwear has a hakama pattern available, just do a google search for it. These are meant to be more dramatic and stylized for cosplay purposes, because for many applications, traditional hakama are no where near as full as they should be.

There are two different styles described in this tutorial - ones that have elastic in a waistband for comfort, and where the hakama aren't going to be seen, and ones that have side slits and ties to close them, so they look more accurate to traditional hakama _{(they do not, however, have a backboard - you're going to have to figure that one out on your own if you want to add one)}

I would ask that you do not sell anything you make with this tutorial~

I know that there isn't any way to enforce this, but if I do see this happening, it's going to keep me from writing or making other one's, or even deleting what I have done already, okay?

I'm appealing to your conscience.

Wo.... This is amazing!! I was so worried thinking how to design my hakama/yukata for Kamisama Hajimamashita. I soooooo thankful to you! ;W;

I made a pair of these for my daughter. She's going to dress as Yachiru from Bleach. This was my first time making anything and it was so much easier with your directions. I love your tutorials and I always look to your page first before I make anything to see if you have it. You're very talented. Thank you

~sakebottleswing Mar 8, 2013

Sorry, ignore my last comment. I read further into the tutorial and figured it out!

~sakebottleswing Mar 8, 2013

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's so much easier than the other ones I've seen. How many yards of fabric did you need to use?

~Yunelyon Mar 1, 2013

this is absolutely awsome really. May I just ask a few things?
1) the crotch is the same for both front and back, really?
2) *because it's giving me a bit of a headache* how does it work with cm? Point is: are the 3" you talk about 7.6 cm? I don't really get this measure system......

`taeliac Mar 8, 2013 Professional Artisan Crafter

Sorry! I don't work very well in metric (you should see my curtains here where I tried... they're like wayyyyy too long!) I would say, round to the nearest half cm and you should be good, seeing as they're not horribly fitting.

And the reason for them being the same is just that - they're not tight fitting. Plus, most people here just want a cosplay tutorial - I would have to charge a fortune and have people get angry with me for making it so complicated to have them draft different patterns for both when it essentially makes no difference. If it affects you, however, you can easily make the front shallower than the back, and shift the seams accordingly - again, framework, build on it

~Yunelyon Mar 14, 2013

yeah, if one is a bit more handy with tailoring can make these little tweakings. So basically, you're saying that more or less
1" = o.5 cm? or vice versa?

~YashaNeko-Chan Jan 4, 2013 Student General Artist
