Thank you for this. I'm not a fan of live stuff and I appreciate the time you took to make this video, showing the differences and similarities between boro and kiwandi.
@@louisaman5497 Thanks for asking...this LINK will help. czcams.com/video/4Vsv5fJrgEc/video.html Through the channel videos titled Boro-Inspired or Kiwandi Inspired will show me working on a project, shows the stitching. I hope this helps.
Hi, I have attached a video for your convenience as there are so many at length where I show you how to Sashiko stitch. The ones in this video are completed and in the art guild for sale. I'm so happy your inspired. The next video I do work along with you as I design and stitch, and it will include Boro building and Kiwandi also. See link: czcams.com/video/-fW6RgAMAn4/video.html
Hi on your big quilt showed, did you do your fabric rolled over or left it raw edges? I am a newbie and made quilts the traditional way, but this is so beautiful I just have to give it a try. xx
oh wow! Welcome! I've seen it done both ways and leaving the edges raw is closer to authentic way of using the scraps. With that said, well I'll jump on here today and do a quick video on this as this is a common question and I will give more perspective. Wed. March 20 24...see you in a bit.
I'm very confused watched the beginning twice. Are you stitching down each piece (you say placing) around the edge then doing kawandi "square circles" around and around the whole piece Or running stitches in each piece separately?
In this video I am showing just the lay out and design. I have specific videos I did showing different methods of sewing. I use different methods as there are a few different ways people sew their pieces on. Depending on what I am making I will sew around the entire piece and or do running stitches. I will do a video today giving you a bit more detail to answer this better for you today, Sat Oct 14, 2023
Traditionally in Kiwandi they work from a pile of fabrics, recycling the fabrics sometimes sitting outside around the pile of clothes. No ironing, just raw beautiful creative sewing. In authentic Boro building poverty stricken family's did not have tools like irons to work with. Personally I love to work closest to the creative process as possible staying close or mixing my methods. However, yes, you can iron, absolutely. Okay to iron, to fold your edges and use techniques most comfortable for you. I'm extremely non traditional in my creative process and build more art pieces. I hope this helps.
@@checkitoutwithcarmella-t1526 Oh, so that's why! Nobbody explained that, so thanks for telling me. Although, you know, I just watched a video by a lady who does °kawandi-inspired° with a sewing machine (as far from tradition as one could possibly think!) and, surprisingly, she also doesn't iron the pieces nor the backing.
@@irmar I'm happy your asking the questions. I share 'mixed methods' and yes, definitely Inspired, Boro Inspired, Kiwandi Inspired and its Inspired because no of us are creating 'Authentic" pieces. I share how I work and the highlights of my creativity. Yes I also love the idea of machine, however the effect is very very different in texture and such. But love this, maybe I'll do a video addressing some of these questions. Keep them coming! Hope this helps too.
Your mandala is beautiful… oh,, just watching more, all your work is beautiful.
Oh, thank-you so much! I think its a wonderful meditation piece..I'd like to make more soon!
Thank you for this. I'm not a fan of live stuff and I appreciate the time you took to make this video, showing the differences and similarities between boro and kiwandi.
You are most welcome. I'm glad it helped. Let us know how your project comes along!
Thanks! Your video was informative and relaxing. I have some linen embossed napkins from my Mom. They can live on with this technique ❤
Thank-you for sharing. Yes, they can have a new life, new style!
Excellent tutorial, I thoroughly enjoyed your directions and suggestions. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank-you so very much! I appreciate your kind words. I have many more videos to share and inspire!

Beautiful pieces of art. How much distance between two rows of stiches is suggested in Kawandi?
Another video suggested width of your little finger
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I will certainty watch your other videos.
Yes, a finger nail or about 1/8", just really making sure its a nice overlap of each piece.
@@checkitoutwithcarmella-t1526 Thanks a lot.

I must have watched five or six similar videos, and none of them iron their pieces nor their base. I wonder why not.
