Thank you for this. I’ve made a toile to try out a jacket pattern and rather than waste the fabric I thought I might try boro stitching fabric scraps on it. Your video was a great way to find out how to do it thank you.

Thank you for your no nonsense approach to boro. I bought some fat quarters today from a thrift store and have committed myself to giving it a go the next few days for an art show next month. I'm too lazy to get out my sewing machine so I will sew them entirely by hand. Best wishes.

And although I do my best, with Boro I don't need to stress about every stitch being exactly the same. Which adds to the overall charm and homely feel of Boro Work. So Relax and Enjoy your Stitching Journey.

@MTMF.london3 жыл бұрын
I think there is a misunderstanding here. "Boro" is not a style of stitching. It is the resulting fabric/textiles or clothing that has been mended (sometimes many, many times over) using Sashiko stitching. A running stitch is the most basic Sashiko stitching. They can get more elaborate if you're advanced sewer, using geometric patterns. Historically, it was used to mend work clothes and bedding in rural Japan by poor households/farmers who did not have the luxury to throw away worn and ragged clothes. They would mend and re-mend them many times using the simple Sashiko running stitches and over time, with additional pieces of patches, it became quite a piece of "art". Young Japanese people have rediscovered the art of Sashiko and now it has spread all over the world. It also resonates with the "make-do and mend" mentality of contemporary younger generations, hence the popularity.

Beautiful work! Love your Sashiko stitches, too. (By the way, it is so interesting to see how the words go to the other languages and change their meanings slightly. In Japanese, Boro (ボロ) means a heavily used and worn rag like in Boro-nuno (ボロ布/tattered cloth) and Boro-fuku (ボロ服/threadbare clothes), and it usually has not good or pleasant feelings. Words can change... )

@@JoyMorganJoyofquilting well, it is just like the modern day patchwork. The days of the using up any cloths to the very Boro-nuno is over, and patchwork and Boro-Sashiko have become an art, a personal expression, and a pure joy. (I still stitch up the old towels into Zokin (雑巾 wiping cloth)...)

BORO? Boro means from the Japanese word boro? It is a method of sashiko patchwork using rags. Nice, isn't it? This was originally done by Japanese farm mothers on things like basket holders for farm work and gaiters that were worn around the arms and shins. Also for aprons and kimonos. It's wonderful, is not it. From 1000 years ago until the early 1960s they were common in rural areas. My grandmother's house was also a farmhouse, so she used to do things like that. I made and used a basket holder using various colors such as indigo and red. I remember it being very cute.😀❣

Beautiful project-thank you for sharing and for your clear introduction. I do have a question-why did you make soap line?
@JoyMorganJoyofquilting3 жыл бұрын
Hi Maria, thank you for you kind comments. I use the soap line to give me a straight line for my first line of stitching. I've always been useless with writing a straight line on blank paper (my writing always slopes down) so I know I would stitch the same. Once I've stitched that first line all is good. I use dried out soap as it just disappears on it's own. You could use chalk or any other way of marking on fabric you generally use.
