멋지네요! 한국의 보자기는 예술이랍니다.. 널리 알려주셔서 감사합니다

I so enjoyed looking at the beautiful pojagi work while living in Korea and often wondered how it was done. Thank you for sharing. I am ready to try this out.

[@annepahler8726]

Thanks for sharing this really nice technique.

[@sandracomeau3082]

Thank you very much for taking the time to show the technique

[@maryheckrotte8317]

Appears to be the same as a French seam that I often use when sewing canvas items for sailboats. Good idea to use it for fine fabrics:-)

[@indugarg5481]

Yes

[@deekang6244]

CAN become part of the design? Traditionally, it is part of the design.

[@serena10525]

Bello, grazie!🙂

[@helensutton6242]

is this the same as a flat fell seam like on shirt armholes seams?

[@dcwatashi]

Yes

[@deekang6244]

I do Bojagi by hand. It is more artistic than machine.

멋져요!!!

Also known as a flat fell seam!

+Eileen Zornes flat felled seams are different, but similar. you trim a flat felled seam, and start with wrong sides together.

[@laceandbits]

Sorry to disagree, but a flat fell/run and fell seam is often started right sides together - it's a french seam which always starts wrong sides together. It's only if the ridge of fabric is a design feature of the garment and wanted on the right side, as on jeans, that you start wrong sides together. Different cultures coming up with the same thing - Korean cloth tying calls the knot they use a butterfly knot, in the States it's a square knot, in the UK a reef knot. The only reason why a flat fell seam is usually trimmed is because when it's used for dressmaking, the pieces of garment are cut with a full seam allowance so the most accurate way to make up the garment is to match the (sometimes curved) edges, sew along the seam allowance line, then trim one away. If the seam is used to join two straight pieces of fabric as here then the most sensible way for both speed and to maximise the fabric is to off-set the edges in the way you have.

I agree. I never trimmed flat fell seams. I always made reversible clothing this way back in the 70s and 80s.

[@angieweisswange5873]

And frach seams just hide raw edges. In the days before zigzag functions and overlockers this was the tidiest form of dealing with fraying type fabrics. But left the seam flapping unless you went the extra mile and top stitched them down. This is why I prefer to use flat fell seams

[@deekang6244]

This is a machine “version” of a technique that was traditionally done by hand. Even her folding is different than how I learned to do it. It’s not a big deal if you are making a “Bojagi inspired seam” which is what she is doing. But traditionally, it would be constructed slightly differently, and done by hand.

[@kelliryan464]

This like a French seam.

[@karenbroughton1072]

love it
