Hakamart

http://www.alonatwotrees.com/library/howto/hakama.pdf Using the tutorial from this link Bronwyn learned to make Hakama. She made some adaptations to fit her needs and the needs of her customers but overall Alona of Twotrees was of great help with her easy-to-read pattern. Using sheet was a very affordable way to craft and each pair would take about 3 hours to complete with about 7 dollars in materials. So for the standard pair of haks it would cost $40. Unfortunately, inflation has raised the cost of materials to closer to $12 dollars and that is only if the items are available. So Hakamart is currently not up and running. In its hay day from 2009-2011 Bronwyn would make about 10 pairs and sell them at each event. This helped pay for the events and the cost of traveling. The image to the right shows the standard colors that were once available. Then she would occasionally use curtains or tablecloths to make higher quality look hakama. She also branched into patterns on the sides. Then her kids started requesting pockets and closed sided hakama that used elastic. So she has made a few of these, but the supply is limited.
