Hakama 5 Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

Comments are made using translation software.

This is a pattern for a HAKAMA typically worn at Japanese graduation ceremonies.

It's designed to be worn slightly high-waisted, so the length is a bit longer than usual.

Adjusting the length shouldn't be too difficult, so alterations are possible.

In terms of drafting, it's simplified based on traditional Japanese tailoring, making it significantly easier than traditional patterns.

While the overall shape remains similar to traditional hakama, using quality fabric can create a genuine graduation hakama, or it can be modified as a base for cosplay.

After printing, paste it according to the pasting line,Cut and use.

The pattern has a seam allowance, so it can be used as is.

The production process is explained with translation software.

(1) First, fold the bamboo pleat section.

(2) Serge/overlock both sides and the hem beforehand.

How to Serge/overlock (sewing machine & overlock sewing machine)

* Pre-shaping the pleats will make the process easier later on.

(3) Fold the hem by 15mm and sew it on a sewing machine.

* If the pleat section is not settling well, it's recommended to secure the back pleats with topstitching.

* For materials where folding alone doesn't hold shape well, consider adding topstitching to the front pleats or using interfacing inside to stabilize the pleats.

(4) Sew the sides together, pressing open the seam allowance with an iron.

(5) Fold and stitch the waist ties (front tie and back tie) on both sides, shaping them neatly with an iron for easy insertion.

(6) Fold the pleats as shown in the diagram, then stitch them by sandwiching the waist ties' markings (front tie and back tie) between the center lines.
