All About Japanese Mending Boro

April 19, 2022 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

If you have always wanted to know about Boro or, like me, have never heard of it before, now is your chance to learn more.  This interesting article from Sewing Machines Plus talks all about it.

Without going into too much detail, Boro is the practice of sewing together various fabrics to mend or make items.  You will learn all about its origins and a little bit about how to do it for yourself.  It kind of reminds me of improv quilting.  It also involves sashiko embroidery.

To learn more about this fascinating and ancient art form click here: Authentic Japanese Boro, Boro Mending, and Boro-Inspired Patchwork.
