    2. make a 3 rectangle(before cutting fold the pice and make sure it looks right, if to small add some) so the shorter sides  cover almost you whole right side; then do the same method as for the belt part except after you flip it sew the last side.
    3. take you white paine or gradient and do that to you 3 rectangles/squares. if your using white paint then get a bowl of water and a extra bowl; put a little of the white paint in the bowl and your using your fingers. dip your 3 main fingers into the water and wipe the traingle then quickly dip you fingers into the paint dish and rub it onto the restangle(when doing this go from the bottom to about were 1/6 is not full of paint. then dip your palm into the water and rub the origanal white paint till it looks like you want it to, you might have to do this 3-5 times. do this to each rectangle/square.
    4. now at sew the 1rst and second piece togher. sew the 2nd one 3 inches or so above the 1st one(check the example, at the end). do the same thing for the 2nd and 3rd.
    5. put the top of the first into the part of the belt that has not been sew down. now sew this side down.
    6. sew thee ribbon stuff a 1/2 inche befor the start of the second and third one and the bottom of the third one.

TIP: WHEN USING THE GRADIENT TEST IT BEFORE USING IT ON THE RECTANGLES!!

To make a shiko miko outfit(priestess outfit) mainlly follow the kenshin guide except make the sleeves longer on the top and sew ribbon(like this the lines - - -).  If you don't want to spend the money on the pants pattern then just make huge pants.
