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!! ❤️

Math

[@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!

[@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)

[@ssssundae]

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

[@halfsoybean]

Omg yes me too ❤️❤️

[@kimreni]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@katerinafeiglova7886]

Wow, good job, the skirt looks really professionally done! I did my University thesis on female hanboks so naturally I've always wanted to make one, but never got to do it for real. Maybe because I am not good at sewing. Instead I learned to embroider and decorate clothes, which is also nice. But seeing your tutorial made me think about making the skirt once again, so thank you!

[@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.

[@user-vp1nh8xk1s]

Coming back to this video to say that I finally conquered my fears and made this beautiful skirt! It’s my first Big Sewing Project and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. You make everything very accessible and clear. Thank you so much for the instructions and also the wonderful descriptions of traditional and modern hanbok:)

[@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!

[@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

[@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~

[@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!!!

[@the1band1wagon]

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

[@dariaorme1282]

Pleating right at the machine BLEW MY MIND!

[@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,!

[@fionnualanifhuarthain8149]

I started watching the Mystic Popup Bar for lockdown entertainment but stayed for the fab outfits the main character was wearing! Thanks so much for explaining the construction 💕

[@Aiitwara]

Bless the youtube algorythm for showing me your channel, I learned a lot and you are a joy to watch

[@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!)

[@Elli79406]

Thank you for the lesson on the mitred corner.

[@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?

[@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!

[@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! ♥

[@RowanTreeArt]

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

[@diananguyen3637]

This is such a beautiful piece! Amazing work as always, I'll definitely have to make this one day!! Thank you for the tutorial

[@halfsoybean]

Thank you so much!! I hope you get to try it out ❤️❤️

[@sarahportelli93]

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

[@annabees]

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

[@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

[@Nanners_for_BTS]

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

[@annr1403]

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

[@soline4810]

A beautiful piece and paired with the cute simple top the outfit is great! Really love seeing how traditional clothing are modernized to still fit into the daily life of people (I come from a place where we don't really have traditional clothing anymore).

[@halfsoybean]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@pamfrank3962]

Excellent demonstration. Beautiful on you.❤

[@catherineng7188]

Yessss definitely gonna make this 🥰 can i ask what kind of fabric did you use /or recommend for this skirt?

[@Nani-hp2mz]

Me too, want to make this one so bad, but im kinda new to sewing, so a recommendation would be great

[@user-vp1nh8xk1s]

I’m currently using a plain cotton bedsheet I thrifted! It’s working great so far. I’d recommend if you’re a beginner to not use slippery fabrics like silk or satin. Something not see through with good texture grip will be easiest to try this with! Good luck!

[@azzaalazza9289]

I love your sewing it looks neat and clean 💕, I’ve always wanted to make korean clothes so thank you so much for this video 🌸🌸.

[@halfsoybean]

I'm so glad!❤️❤️

[@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.

[@hanananah]

Ohhh thank you for explaining mitered corners that would have been helpful this past weekend 🤣.

[@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

[@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]

[@peytondwyer]

I’m gonna culture appreciate this skirt so hard.

[@TokiWithCheese]

omg thank u for teaching abt fork pleats & mitered corners! so cool!

[@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.

[@Umimouto]

YOURE SO PRETTY OH MY GOODNESS

[@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.😍
