You can find the information on how to make your own patterns (since these items are made of rectangles of various sizes, appropriate dimensions are all the information you need) may be found for at least some of these items in a book called "Make Your Own Japanese Clothes" by John Marshall. It's published by Kodansha International; Amazon sells it here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/087011865X/qid=1131420042/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-9908496-1648834?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Here's the relevant information in case the URL has gotten butchered: # Paperback: 130 pages # Publisher: Kodansha America; 1st ed edition (November, 1988) # Language: English # ISBN: 087011865X -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Physics is like sex; sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."--Richard Feynman _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
