A few questions about making your own hanbok

1. If it's your first time to make it, it's recommended to use cotton cloth. Cotton cloth is breathable and comfortable to wear, and cotton cloth is more board, it's better to cut and weld it, it's much better than silk or yarn, and cotton cloth is cheaper. If you want to buy cotton fabric, you can buy better material for bedding, with many colors and big width, about 25-30 dollars for 2.8 meters wide. There are also cheaper ones at 10 or so dollars a meter.

Now there are a lot of jacquard also do, this material drapes better than cotton, do skirt is very good, and there are bright and and the same color pattern, better look. This is about 20 yuan a meter, I also bought 13 yuan a meter.

2, online I have not panned the material, it is recommended to go to the local fabric market, you can see the actual, the color and feel is very important, the fabric is still to use your hands to feel it.

3, as for how much cloth, depending on what style you do. It is recommended that the same proportion on paper to reduce the first drawing. For example, the actual 1 meter on paper reduced to 10 cm or something like that. I usually use less than 2 meters of material 1.2 meters wide for a jacket. A skirt (one and a half wraps) also uses 2 meters, plus another 1 meter of material for the edge of the bodice and the belt.

4. In summer, you can wear a button-down jacket and a high-waisted jacket. However, I personally recommend to put on a set of cross-necked 襦襦, which can be worn at any time, winter and summer, banquet tour and sacrifice, all-purpose ￣￣￣ and then put on other styles after that.

Another: if you just make half-arms, it's much simpler, and you don't need a lot of material, not 1 meter to get it done. Half arm of any material can basically. Cotton is good to do.

High-waisted jacket skirt, then, it is best not to use cotton to do, because cotton is not general drape is not good. You can do it with linen yarn, it feels good, but linen yarn is not very good to operate when cutting and sewing, it will be slippery.
