Hi, everyone! Today I’m sharing pieces of the many projects that I’m currently working on and will eventually add to my Hmong Outfit Series on my blog. I love how vintage styles are coming back and I can’t wait to have some modernized paj ntaub cog ci outfits.
:: Sequins, Beads, & Fishing Wire ::
I’m almost done with the embroidery of the various sequin outfits that I have planned out this year. Adding the sequins is taking me longer than I expected but I tend to make my life a little more difficult by choice. I decided that it would be a bright idea to use fishing wire instead of a thread so that I wouldn’t have to see threads. Fishing wire is harder to work with but so far I like the https://tramadolonline.net/ result. For this outfit, I love how the sequins and beads catch the light.
:: Hmong Outfit ::
Here are a couple of pieces Hmong outfits that I ‘m working on.
I have 3 different sequin outfits in mind. Only planning on finishing 2 in time for Hmong New Year.
My pile of trims for various shirts as well.
I still have a tutorial that I have to finish filming and need to work on recording a voiceover.
:: Hmong Hats ::
With a plethora of outfits, I matching hats on my list of to do as well. I don’t own a phuam hmoob txaij but I’m basing mine on pictures. Honestly, I would save myself a lot of time if I just bought myself one but I tend to not be 100% satisfied with hats that I see a lot of vendors sell. I guess most of them don’t match the vision I have. I’m waiting for my silver to arrive to add to my hat. Also, I’m still debating if I want to add a couple of pink pom poms to my hat or not. Let me know in the comments if you would be interested in a tutorial.
Thank you for reading! I’m trying my best to stay on top of my projects and updating my blog more regularly. I have a couple of trips planned so I just need to budget my time more effectively.
Looks great!!
How did you finish the bottom of your sev? I was thinking of using your pattern to make a baby outfit for my twin girls. Thank you.
I already put sequins on the bottom of my sev but I’ll take a picture and email it to you.
