Abstract
I In this paper, following Part 1, (1) classified annual numbers of home-made clothing and (2) means of making them will be reported.
II These numbers and means were obtained by analyzing the collected data through administering questionnaires on home-made clothing, which was explained in our previous report (Part 1).
III The investigation on item (1) demonstrated that thirteen different garments of western style which were included in the questionnaire were made at home more in Tokyo than two other areas, Hiroshima being ranked second. Among those thirteen articles of clothing, skirts, one-piece-dresses, and blouses were articles which were more frequently sewn than others. This was true in all three areas. The similar inquiry was made about seventeen garments of Japanese style. The numbers of garments made at home decreased in sequence of Iwate-Hiroshima-Tokyo. Articles more frequently made were woman's Kimono (of wool and cotton), Hanten (Japanese jacket ; sometimes quilted and worn when a baby is carried on one's back), and Hada juban (Japanese undershirt). Japanese bedclothes were the top article made at home. Their numbers sewn at home in each surveyed area differed in the same manner as seventeen other garments of Japanese style. The survey on item (2) revealed that nearly all clothes of western style were made by sewing machines. More than 50% of collars and sleeves were sewn by the machine. Fasteners were used on many garments. About 80% of Kimono were exclusively sewn by the hand. About 50% of bedclothes were hand-made. About 70% of quilting was done at home.
