The DIY process

I want people of all level of economic power and sewing knowledge to be able to own a hanfu by possible diy. I don't want anyone excluded. In many hanfu forums, there is lack of attention to those who need help at hanfu.

I honestly don't know anything about sewing, tailoring and pattern drawing. I just guess, use my own method, and also, use pajamas as reference. I also, take a look at some pants pattern. Esp on drawing pattern, I mostly make guess.


Tools: fabric, brown paper (pattern), paper (draft, brainstorm), long ruler, grid print ruler, fabric scissor, paper scissor

I am bad at left right, vertical horizon, face and opposite. And haha, you need to be cautious on those when sewing. So I am glad, I chosen plain color fabric, that has no pattern and it's same on both sides (face and opposite), so I don't have to worry about those matters, and can put my heart more on the pattern, size and lenght, etc.


Elastic and herm not performed yet

I am making pattern and testing it by using the pattern to make a real clothes and see if I need to make more adjustment on the pattern. Such as the pants, the first one was a bit too tight on the top of the thigh大腿 circumferance. It's good if it's a dress pants, but no good for a pajamas or hanfu pants.


Elastic and herm done.

I then make another one, that is more loose on the thigh大腿 circumferance, then I found the back (near bottom and above) is a bit too short, I need to raise the length next time.
