The Story of Making a Squid Game Costume

It’s already been over five years since the Squid game came out. It was a worldwide sensation. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/spvqBeexVhI?feature=share As a Korean, it was a truly proud craze. The Squid game series continues to this day. I think it was when my daughter had just started elementary school when the first Squid game came out. I’m

Christmas costume for my daughter

I made a Christmas costume with a cute and adorable concept. The decorations in front were purchased on the 5th floor of Dongdaemun Market. The 5th floor is full of various accessories and small items. These days, it’s a children’s paradise, so many mothers and children come here on weekends to buy beads. ^^ But…

White cotton short-sleeved t-shirt with graphic and embroidery design

I digitally printed the collage. Lettering was embroidered onto the image with fluorescent thread. The fabric is made of 20-count cotton. I chose a material that has undergone tenta and tumble treatment, so it’s much less likely to warp or stretch after washing than regular fabrics. I digitally printed the collage. Lettering was embroidered onto

I went to the Insadong flea market to buy embroidered eco bags…

“It was a good thing I came here,” I see the words written on the tablecloth prepared by the organizers. I think it was around March of this year. I signed up for the weekend flea market and went. But it snowed so hard! That day, the snow fell like a 10-year-old’s worth of snow

Product photos taken at Dongdaemun V-Commerce #short-sleeve t-shirt #summer pants #free studio

These are untouched photos. Dongdaemun is Korea’s fashion mecca, with many free facilities. These photos were taken at a free studio, one of the lesser-known ones. Of course, I took them myself, with my phone, without a photographer. The economic downturn has reached its peak due to the December 3rd Civil War. While things will

Introducing the Adidas, Gucci, Burberry, and other tie-dye prints

These photos are from Trenbe. Trenbe is an editorial platform I frequently visit. While most of the items are off-season rather than new, I’m often surprised by the discounted prices. Of course, I’ve heard that when a product is released, it usually breaks even if it sells for around 30% off the regular price, but

The story of making a T-shirt

It’s already been a year. I have a few photos of my work at Heyri. The painting I did at the very front of the photo with “Keep Smile” was something I did out of boredom, but someone bought it, saying it was unique. I always feel this way: clothing is so commonplace, with so

Making custom t-shirts at Heyri #TheDesignerWentCrazy #FunMemories

http://blog.naver.com/ggowa2021/223905124070 It’s already been over a year since we held this event. There wasn’t a store in Heyri, but with the help of an acquaintance, we made custom t-shirts. This event was filled with many regrets. I made the t-shirts, provided the tools, and even assisted, but I wasn’t actually recognized. It was a truly

The embroidery work story of a summer short-sleeved embroidered t-shirt #applique #designeriscrazy #embroideredshort_sleevedt_shirt

For computer embroidery work, you will need work instructions like this. CAD work precisely marks the positions of the needles for computer embroidery. I didn’t graduate from a fashion design department, but rather from an academy, so I’m not familiar with academic terminology. However, I submit the image I want to create to the workshop

My diary and resolutions for rainy days

I don’t really like Crocs or sandals, but on rainy days, I have no choice. I wore the relatively small-hole Crocs from Adidas to work. I really hate showing my toes. My toes, really. Maybe it’s because my feet are wide and ugly, but… I definitely don’t get pedicures. I hate showing my toes. It’s
