Va-Voom Vintage: Free Patterns

Make your own geta It's not really complete, but you can get started. Here are the things we'll cover: Disclaimer and Warnings: It's a sad state of affairs that I ought to consult an attorney before telling you how to make your own geta. If I actually did, he/she would probably tell me to not do it at all. As I said in the home page, geta are not your Reeboks. It's entirely possible to fall and get hurt, and maybe break an ankle or hit your head. Being wood, they might catch on fire if you walk too fast so you probably should carry a fire extinguisher, too. Remember that they are noisy and your neighbors might sue you for disturbing the peace of the neighborhood. So... if you hit your thumb with a hammer, or strangle yourself with the thongs, or trip and fall out a window, or get a ha caught in a storm grating, or catch a cold wearing them in the winter, or lose your job because you wore them to the board meeting... Remember that you are responsible for your own actions. Make a test pair first.
