DIY / Quick & EASY Pleated Wrap Skirt Hanbok 🌷 (korean cottagecore?) 생활한복 허리치마 만들기

[@wodalia]

the length of the fabric will ALWAYS be a third due to the nature of how a fork pleat works !! the difference in fork size will only result in a difference of the pleat's width. so no matter how big your fork is, you will always end up with a fabric that is a third of the original lengths. your pleats will just be smaller or bigger depending on the fork :)

[@halfsoybean]

Ok yes 👆👆👆hope everyone sees this!! ❤️

[@ManzanitaStarwood]

Great tip! Both sewing and origami are hobbies that thrive on a refresher class on geometry.

[@helenkwok5874]

fabric length formula: waist measurement x 1.5 (for wrap skirt) x 3 (for pleat shrinkage)

[@kimreni]

Thank you!

[@VirtuallyViktoriyan]

“How much fabric you need depends on two things”… Me, expecting waist and height: yup this makes sense… “First is size of your fork” Me, falling off my chair in excited giggling: did I switch from a sewing tutorial to an explanation of food portion sizing? Well I am totally here for that!

[@OddlyElly]

Not gonna lie, that was the simplest easiest explanation of how to do a mitred corner I've ever seen and I've been sewing for almost 20 years 🤣 So nice to hear Aussie accents when watching sewing videos ❤ although I can't work out if you're from Brisbane or Melbourne. I'm probably completely off 😅 Gorgeous hanbok 😍🥰

[@blackmber]

The mitred corner explanation was an unexpected gem for me as well since I'm about to make some napkins. They will be flawless 👌

[@nwinning]

agreed!

[@kimreni]

I regularly come back for the mited corner tutorial within the tutorial. It's one of the best demonstrations.

[@gek2sound]

I live in Korea, but I'm having a hard time getting men's hanbok jeogori. Most of them sell modernized hanbok without knots(Go-ruem). I'm training Taekkyeon, a traditional Korean martial arts, and I enjoy exercising in hanbok. But it was impossible to find a man's hanbok made of solid fabric.I want to learn something through your channel and make denim hanbok jeogori.

[@featheralliance4590]

I'm not Korean, or asian at all, but i love both traditional asian clothing and sewing! I'd love to make something inspired by it, but I'm scared I'll offend anyone by cultural appropriation. What are your thoughts on this and would I be able to make this hanbok?

[@mooondip]

I don’t think it’s cultural appropriation at all because you’re showing appreciation for the clothing. You’re showing respect to the original garment and most people feel very proud when we see others wear a piece of our culture as appreciation and respect. In the tutorial it’s a modernize version of the original hanbok and she explains the terms to educate others. So what I’m saying is if you want to make it you should! 🥰

[@halfsoybean]

Yep Michelle explained it perfectly! I'm trying to share my culture, so as long as you know the context and what it is i.e. 'heori chima' - then I think you're all good :)

[@monoma5924]

thank you so much for this comment and the clarificaion cuz I was having the same struggels

[@nllkwk]

I agree with Michelle et al, I’m Korean and I would not be offended if you wore a traditional hanbok or a modern one. I would probably come up to you and chat you up!

[@lisaharmon5619]

This is very similar to a kilt. The difference being the waistband is narrower and kilts, by tradition, are made of a plaid wool ( dependent upon clan)

[@melaniearison1209]

My daughter is Korean and this has helped to be able to make her some wardrobe pieces that she can wear and share her culture with others. Thank you

[@Londonpigeon1990]

Fantastic tutorial. I feel really inspired to try and make a Hanbok wrap skirt. I wear leg braces and am always on the look out for ankle length skirts. I often find that for a modern asthetic I require inspiration from other cultures. Thank you for sharing. X

[@hanatelige]

I’ve wanted to make a hanbok skirt for so long but all the tutorials I found were in Korean. This was so easy to follow and it turned out so pretty!

[@Elli79406]

Thank you for the lesson on the mitred corner.

[@makeda6530]

Thank you for this video, I have a soft spot for traditional clothing around the world and hanbok are so beautiful, having something more modernized means I can appreciate it's beauty too~ That red is so beautiful on you~

[@the1band1wagon]

My mind is blown on how you do the corners. It looks so neat and so easy.

[@raraavis7782]

Wow. I'm only halfway through,but I'm already impressed. I've never made a pleated skirt before, but I would probably just have sat down and carefully marked and folded and pinned and pressed (and possibly basted) everything before ever getting to the sewing part 😆. It would have never occurred to me, to just 'pleat and go' like that. How clever. Your technique for mitered corners I'll also surely try and compare to mine,!

[@Jakathera]

That is hands down the coolest way I've EVER seen to make pleats!!! I cannot *WAIT* to try this! I've been looking for a "Dressed down" version of a Hanbok to wear to festivals, and, being plus sized, it's been so hard! Thank you x (infinity!)

[@rachelmiller2280]

I desperately need to make one (or several) of these skirts! I appreciate your time and effort to educate and ensure that I come prepared to speak to the history of this item of dress 😍 Thank you for the tutorial!!!

[@annabees]

oooooooooh!!!!! the fork tip is AWESOME! just for that I'm already happy I discovered your channel!

[@pamfrank3962]

Excellent demonstration. Beautiful on you.❤

[@ssssundae]

I love incorporating modernized hanbok into my wardrobe, it makes me feel more connected to my roots

[@halfsoybean]

Omg yes me too ❤️❤️

[@dariaorme1282]

Pleating right at the machine BLEW MY MIND!

[@RowanTreeArt]

the fork method of pleating is brilliant!! your modernized hanbok turned out beautifully!!

[@Itihlwen]

Here's a tip - I hope you don't mind me pointing this out! The size of the fork doesn't actually matter. what matters is the percentile depth of your pleats. if your pleats lay back to back, you will have 3 layers of fabric in your pleated area at any given point. That shrinks your fabric down to a third of its length. It doesn't matter if there are many many tiny pleats back to back (although a small percentage will differ due to the number of "bends" in the fabric. The thicker the fabric, the more this matters.), or if there are a few very large pleats. So if you go with 4.5 times your waist measurement it should always be just about right. :) Lovely video btw, I'm happy to have found you!

[@Itihlwen]

LOVE that mitered corner trick btw. gonna try that asap.

[@halfsoybean]

thank you! a few people have told me - once again I have exposed how dumb i am on the internet ahahahah

[@Itihlwen]

@@halfsoybean Nooo you're not dumb. Nobody can do or know everything. You did a very fine job with your tutorial and it's always better to err on the side of caution. I'm sorry I didn't check for similar comments thoroughly enough.

[@mythlover20]

Hello, fellow Aussie! Thank you so much for making this video! The skirt is truly beautiful, and those explainations of the various techniques were just what I needed. But mostly, thank you for helping educate those of us who don't get to be exposed to korean culture and clothing in our everyday lives!

[@sarahportelli93]

Amazing tutorial 💜 love that modernised traditional clothing is gaining popularity. You've inspired me to come up with some modernised traditional Maltese clothing 😊

[@EvlNabiki]

Is it half past five in the morning? Yes Am I bingeing this and your last video because I was a zombie this whole week? Yes Is this reviving me? Yes P.s. this turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous piece, especially the colour 🥰 it's definitely going on my to-do list, although I might make it maxi-length, which means I'll have to go fabric shopping (my wallet is going to murder me)

[@halfsoybean]

GO TO SLEEP BUT ALSO THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN 😭💕 and fabric shopping is always excusable hehe 😜

[@Mametiganabijem]

I am an absolute beginner in sewing but this tutorial was so easy to understand! Great job and thank you so much!

[@Rilude]

I needed this tutorial desperately when I was trying to make a wrap skirt a few months ago. I couldn't get the pleats to look right but now I know that I likely didn't have enough fabric to work with. I eventually managed to brute force the pleats after much trial and error lol

[@hyelimchoi_]

not me getting ready for new years 👀

[@halfsoybean]

Ya gotta make one now! 😜

[@Nanners_for_BTS]

I made my own skirt from this tutorial and I absolutely love it! Thanks for such an easy to understand tutorial!

[@catherineng7188]

I absolutely love this pleated skirt and TBH I love Korean fashion! 😍😍😍 Before COVID I used to visit & shop in Seoul twice yearly… Hence I hope you can show us more tutorials on how to make them moving forward❤️

[@l.c.8475]

The forksize doesn't matter, pleats give you 3 layers of fabric all around, giving you a final length of 1/3 your original fabric length, a smaller fork just gives you more pleats than a larger one. The math becomes more complicated if you space out or stack your pleats though.

[@victoriaborges6899]

I've had this video saved for a while and I finally finished the skirt! Even though I messed up some of the measurements (I was working with a very odd striped fabric and paranoid about making it too small), it still came out great. This was such a great tutorial, very clear and well organized, so it was easy to jump back into the project whenever I had some free time. I kind of want to make another one now that I understand the garment better, and I'll definitely use this as my reference point for wrap waistbands and mitered corners. Fantastic video, and thank you so much for sharing this piece of your culture! ♥

[@annr1403]

I really appreciate that you took the time to explain techniques and give different tips! Great tutorial :)!

[@scorpiusblack]

that’s the cutest iron i‘ve ever seen 😭😭

[@alanax_]

Such a beautiful garment! I really love the colour of the skirt and the way you made that hole in the waistband was so beautiful! I've never seen it done like that, definitely might have to try that one day.

[@shayalbrecht5014]

I would love your take on a jeogori! Your explanations are very easy to follow--thank you for sharing!

[@JohnPorsbjerg]

Looks beautiful! I've always been more into Japanese culture but the Hanbok is still one of my favorite traditional dresses in the world! I'd love to make this casual version but I'm kind of afraid I'll wear it every single day haha

[@sapphire1003]

i have zero experience with sewing and all other things but I low-key want to try this and make myself one of these ;-;

[@이뽀야-j6f]

[@sonja3717]

I love this video. It's simplified enough to understand as a beginner. I do have one question: what fabric do you use? Is it cotton or something else?

[@peytondwyer]

I’m gonna culture appreciate this skirt so hard.

[@NellBelle]

What a lovely skirt it was look lovely with a Mexican folk blouse.

[@karenralcewicz8174]

Love this. My sewing club students want to make Hanbok. I am still trying to see in my mind how the skirt wraps around. I will make a practice skirt this weekend.

[@dianenovak8757]

Absolutely lovely. I am not Korean but my niece is marrying a man who is. I would love to make a honbok top also. I looked for patterns but I am fatter than most people who are Korean. I hope you make the top soon, wedding is in June. I just wanted to do a nod to his culture. I also like wrap tops but don't like hanging out the Korean clothing has that covered.😍

[@ManzanitaStarwood]

You look fantastic in the final outfit! Really enjoyed seeing how this hanbok skirt was made. I hope to visit Korea someday and wear one myself!

[@myriamh.2182]

OMG I just found your channel and I'm in love. I always wanted to sew this style but couldnt really find anything. Thank you so much.

I got married in Korea and my mom made me an outfit for it, modern hanbok style, she'd seen them before, but never in detail, and she was on the other side of the world with me just giving her my measurements, lol. I tried to give her details on how the tie to the skirt worked, but either she misread my instructions or was thinking it was like a regular wrap skirt that ties in the back (there was no way to put the charm on the skirt because of how it was tied), anyways, I wish she had this video for back then, lol, but it's too late

[@musicandbooklover-p2o]

Great video and thank you. I did find your size chart interesting though, years ago (roughly 1976-83) when my waist measurement was between 22" and "24" I took a size 8 in clothing, yet now your chart shows I would wear a size 4. When did the clothes change sizes so much - now I live in Ireland where we use the same sizes as the UK (and also European sizes) which haven't changed over the years - visited the UK in '83 and my clothes size then in the UK was the same as it was at home, both were a size 8 for a 23.5" waist) - and possibly also explains why clothing sent out to both myself and my daughter in Ireland show the sizes we would normally wear here but are obviously much too large. Thank you, this chart explains the probably reason for this and I will now know to tell people we are several sizes smaller than usual which might solve the problem.

[@ingeborgmikkelsen9078]

Hi Karen! Sizing across most modern clothing is woefully unstandardized, and sizing standards and numbers have changed a lot since it became a thing. This includes quite a few common clothing brands starting to use vanity sizing, essentially "sizing up" their clothing so to say, meaning what used to be a size 8 at one point might now be a size 6 or 4. This might be why your body measurements are similar/the same to what they used to be, but you have to size down your clothing! This is also the reason why your size may change depending on the brand. Mina Le has a wonderful video about this, and other issues with modern clothes manufacturing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnesoKarndp3paM (edited for clarity)

[@dawnmason9558]

I noticed you are using a Janome DC2040 which is almost identical to my QXL605 which has an over locking stitch built in, as do most modern computerised machines so people WITHOUT a serger can overlock the edges using the DSM

[@halfsoybean]

Its a 2050 and i find that the other stitches don’t work as nicely as the overlocker haha
