Comprehensive Sewing Manual in Korean
April 1, 2018 10:09 AM   Subscribe

Is there a good sewing manual in Korean that anyone could recommend?

I teach sewing classes and there is a big Korean community here - at least once or twice a quarter I get someone whose native language is Korean.

I notice that there is always a slight blip in communicating technical things and sometimes it is better to have a native manual to reinforce what I am trying to say, even though someone's practical english is just fine. It isn't a matter of trying to hold the class in Korean, but rather to really get people where they need to be and give them a native reference source. I keep a couple of Russian manuals around for this reason. It is really helpful to have on hand.

What I am not looking for necessarily are specific project manuals, general craft books, or home decor books. I'd like to have something more along the lines of a Korean version of the VOGUE SEWING manual or something that covers all of the basic-to-intermediate stuff.

Recommendations?

Since no one has answered yet, perhaps you could seek out chat rooms where native Korean speakers go to practice English with native English speakers and bring it up in conversation there.

Are there specific sewing manuals you're looking for? It would help if you provided a specific example of some key words or terms or projects (creating a dress, sewing a bag, certain kinds of stitch, etc) that people could find an analogue for.
