tabi with tutorial

Description

My home made tabi for my Yuki Onna cosplay!

on the right foot, the winterversion
on the left foot, the summerversion

a quick tutorial too:

Buy socks. Any socks. Doesn't matter what kind of socks, as long as you like 'm BUT it does matter whether the socks fit!

Fold 'm inside out, and put one of the left, the other on the right. You'll see... now stick pins between your big toe and the second one, on each sock.

When done, remove the socks and sew really tight a sort of wedge around the pins. Cut between the sewing lines and re-sew the newly made edges once more. Just for support.

Fold 'm outside in (aka the good side out again) and you've got your own home made tabi that make Da Blitz!

you need:
1 pair of socks
1 pair of siscors
1 needle
4 pins (don't stick 'm in your feet! cause if you do: you need bandaids too)
thread... a lot of thread
if preferred: sewing machine (makes it a whole lot sturdier) and perhaps someone who can handle the sewing machine

Helpful tip? Use socks with at least 60% cotton, they stretch less, are much easier to sew, and don't run as much if a stitch wears out. Personally i've had the same pair done exactly this method, for almost three years now (worn 3 days a week for around 5 hours a day (Ninjutsu Training))
