Crazy how in 2024 as a mixed person I still constantly hear “well you’re not actually Korean” “you’re not actually Scottish” have you ever considered maybe, just maybe I am both? And I can be both? Have you also considered that it is in fact a beautiful thing that someone like myself born from two cultures on other ends of the world can exist? That I can wear my hanbok with pride one day and my clan tartan the next? That in this world we get to share our cultures with each other? That I can be made of thousands of years of tradition from both Korea and Scotland? Where is your whimsy boy.

Coming up with judean native embroidery is so hard considering there's so many cultures with cultural clothes and embroidery patterns out there, and i want to make it original and unique to us, jews, the hebrews. it is SO difficult BECAUSE almost every embroidery patterns has already been invented somehow somewhere and have been for hundreds of years while i started only like 2 months ago and i have specifically been into cross stitch(its actually pretty fun) which also limits me when it comes to patterns

I want to give it jewish uniqueness BESIDES the usual magen david, menorah and חי.

I want to base is off of many other things like historical everts, symbols, fruits, geography, traditions, land etc

For example: an embroidery pattern that resembles the 4 fruits of sukot. A pattern that portrays the split sea or burning bush. A pattern that symbolises the cohanim, beit hamikdash, the 12 tribes and zodiacs. A pattern that resembles the fruits that important in judaism(pomegranates, olives, dates, figs etc) based on holidays and the bible. Hamsa embroidery ideas. Embroidery patterns based on mosaics found in synagogues all around the world.

I have been trying to gather so much information, mosaics, jewish art, ancient art etc to try and base off, which again is SUPER hard cosidering most of the stuff we created got destroyed, looted or stolen (my grandma had to leave all the embroidery she did when her family got kicked out and she managed to salvage only a napkin and an apron)

Anyway i try my best to create a traditional judean dress with jewish rikma. That said, I'll need help so if any of you have patterns or ideas(jewelery too) it will be incredible 🙏🏻

So I do not yap on to long a quick summary!

I adore cultural and historical dress, it's something I find just so intresting and I am really really wanting to make a illustrated informational book at somepoint with traditional dress from all over the world, which requires aloottttt of research and im finding it difficult to start said research and am wanting a place to jump off from and also learn about dress I have no clue about.

So I made

✨️✨️this✨️✨️

google from, it only has 2 required questions and (5 or 6 I have forgotten) questions overall, so if you or someone you know would find this interesting, filling it out would be much appreciated:D

Nothing about said book is set in stone yet and is just an idea rn, but I really wanna start researching so at some point it could be a reality

I had this event a while ago to do with celebrating culture and we were given the option to wear cultural dress. I’m half Scottish and Korean for context. I don’t have a full hanbok (traditional Korean dress) or a full kilt HOWEVER I did have a norigae from my halmeoni as well as a headpiece part of a traditional hanbok. As well as that I had a sash in the tartan of our family clan in Scotland that I wore with a kilt pin decorated with thistles (flower of Scotland) as well as the crest of our clan. From the kilt pin I attsched the norigae (hanbuk accessory), so I was basically walking around in half a kilt and less than half a hanbuk. Ridiculous? Perhaps. However I find joy in creating my own culture between my two backgrounds. I bear connection to my family and Korea as well as the clan in Scotland. I am equally Koran as I am Scottish and equally Scottish as I am Korean.

Join me next time when I wear a kilt over a hanbok—
