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.

Can anyone tell me anything about this doll?

I guess she is a kokeshi, but I've never seen one like her before.

I fell for her as soon as we met, and now she lives next to these Tomoko-Fuse designed origami.

She has a silver bow in her hair, tiny red nose and mouth, and strange, insectile patterns on her dress.

Currently, I don't know her name.
