Just made my first ever piece of clothing!

Made #hakama from very lightweight denim, for my best friend.

I changed the design, adding a pocket on one side and a button closure on the other, along with a full waistband to replace the traditional ties and open side vents.

I've never made anything 'proper' before, never used a pattern, so I'm happy how these turned out.

She has bare feet with red painted toenails, and is on an apartment balcony.
