You may well be familiar with Boro – and if you’re not, it’s as easy as using running stitch!
The supplies you need are straightforward, and hopefully you’ll have everything in your stash.
- A base material
- Fabric pieces to be patched onto the base material, either toning or contrasting, as you prefer
- Thread: sashiko thread is good, but perle/embroidery floss will be fine
- Fabric scissors
- Usual sewing kit
- Lunch and mug for hot drinks
The project I am working on is a cover for a notebook: I therefore measured out how much fabric I would need to cover with patches/embroidery plus turnings. If you wanted to create a pouch (as above) or book cove, your base material will need to be an appropriate size.
