Making Japanese Tabi socks 足袋の製作

I’m making Tabi socks for wearing Japanese Kimono. I’ve tried to sew this socks it’s so hard to make. Someday I would love to hold making Tabi socks workshops on my shop.

It was very difficult to sew the instep part of the Tabi socks. There are some method to sew the instep part of the Tabi socks. I tried to sew 2 method of sewing the instep part of them. The first sewing method failed. The next sewing method worked.

When I asked my mother how to make tabi socks, she said that it was difficult for me to understand the method of making Tabi socks because there was a tabi craftsman for a long time in Japan. I’m satisfied with her answer.
