I hope you'll forgiv eme for spamming your friendlist with costume piccies... ^_^


Quick and unironed pictures of my hanbok, pictures by the wonderful heileen (who also happens to be the best babysitter in the whole world !)(thank you !!!), pattern by the adorable hohenstein. Would I even sew without my LJ friends ? Thank you sooo much !!!! I had to enlarge the pattern quite a bit (I'm very not Korean in terms of height), of course, but it was sooo much easier to get the shape right.
I *adore* this garment. It was wuite warm on the wedding day (although the days before and after where made of icy rain...) and I felt incredibly comfy in it. I kept it until I crashed on my air mattress around 4AM (there was MUCH dancing that evening). Even better, the skrit doesn't hold wrinkles from the suitcasde and the top tales about obe minute to iron, total. Now I just need a reason to wear it again... *scratches head*

... being offline for so long and all, but I'm not even remotely trying to catch up.

I have a finished hanbok.
I have pictures.
But somehow, the new computer won't communicate with the camera. Baaaaah ! Not that the pics were any good as I was too lazy to put it on and it doesn't even fit on my dummy. Yet, it is done, I have a finished garment for this month. Yay !
12-4 : Finished hanbok.

I meant the hat :D

Aaand, I finished the jeogori. It just needs a white collar. And I have approximatively 5 square inches of scraps I can use (or more likely I can NOT use) to fancy up the skirt. I think the skirt will be very plain !

That's the other name for this weird disease that starts during pregnancy and lasts, so I heard, for years to come, and makes you all empty-headed and prone to forget this and that and... well, almost everything. It's probably partly related to sleep deprivation, though not entirely, as I had a good night's sleep.
Anyway, I went into town with little H, took the bus with the stroller, big achievement ! (My stroller is huge ! It was perfect when H was a newborn, but now that we want to be a little more mobile it's... well, mostly huge) I looked for a certain pair of shoes which I couldn't find (boo ! not in any color or size), and a birthday gift for my Mom. Which I bought. And then forgot to take with me. *facepalm* Thank Goddess I bought it at home, so the girls are keeping it backstage for me. I feel so stoopid... I chose the necklace, chatted, paid, fixed their computer.. and went out. And of course I only noticed it when I was in the bus back home and I had no time to go back and be home in time for little H's meal.

On the good side of the Force, I now have a styrofoam head to pattern hats onto (but sadly still no fake hair for Vaux !) and the wonderful hohenstein's hanbok pattern arrived ! Yayayay ! Thanks so much ! I'm goig to grab a bite and get started on that, while the kid sleeps.
