This is the most inspiring tutorial and I shall be following your videos as I get to it. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, I am so loving this! I have a tub full of indigo fabric scraps and can't wait to start using them in this way.
Interesting progress with your grey, black and those designs in those colors with texture- so love your free- style way to design your table mat- thank you- the fray edges are attractive too! Enjoyed Sandra Myer
Oh no time is up class over? I so enjoyed your video and cannot wait to practice something thank you so much. From AZ.
Geweldig ik ga Boro steeds leuker en mooier vinden en ga dit ook zeker proberen, dankjewel uit Nederland
Thank you for this video, the thing I think I like the most about this process is that you dont have to imagine what your project is going to look like, when you have all your pieces on the fabric you know exactly how its going to look and can easily keep changing it up until you are happy with your design, I think that is very important because how many times have we taken on a project just to find we dont really like it when its finished. I have a 70's nice denim jacket that I am going to liven up with this wonderful method...
Great comment. I like your grasp of what boro-inspired textiles is all about. Would be great to see how the denim jacket turns out, feel free to send a photo to my Facebook page.
Inspiring! Love that you leave the knot on the top.
Very very beautiful. And quite inspiring. Thanks a lot.
Sue Howe provided the process for Table Mat. So interesting with great fabrics too- more beige, dull medium brown and white! Very well picked those fabrics! Thank you, Sue
Boro is want to learn from Sue! Thank you- Sandra Myer
I am over the moon excited to try this! Sue you are a honey! Thank you so much for your explanations and your expertise! Loving your choice of fabrics! You obviously love what you are doing!
Thank you for your demonstration!❤ I think I am ready to give this a try now!
Very informative. I love hand work, this is something I will try. Oh my there are not enough hours in a day. 🇨🇦
Very interesting & enjoyable. Ty for sharing. I believe I will be using these techniques in some of my fiber works. Ty again.
Great tutorial. I have a large box of blue/white garments and fabrics and Japanese indigo squares which I use from time to time. A couple of years ago I made a boro cover for an Old Japan themed journal. I am about to make another one for my daughter who also has a fascination with Old Japan. I have plans to make a Haori style coat (machine made) as well as a bag using boro techniques. It is good to hear an Australian voice. Thanks for sharing. I have subscribed.
Thank you Margaret. The boro journal cover sounds fabulous. I hope the boro-inspired Haori jacket turns out well.
@@IndigonicheSashiko It will probably be a while before these projects happen as I am full up with art related projects and my sewing corner is not very functional atm. I hope this will change in the not to distant future.
Beautiful, thank you. You are a great teacher and artist....
Beautiful fabrics to work with is always a wonderful place to start!
Muy buenas noches, me maraville con sus bordados con la técnica japonesa. A pesar de no entender su idioma igual le entiendo mirándola, gracias, saludos Consuelo desde chile, bendiciones ❤
Excellent tutorial. I love your ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Process is glue cover the edges, thin thread to tack the rectangles and use Sashiko thread between all rectangles-
Inspiring for this beginner to Boro ….. thank you 😊
Do you “Save” the fray from when you fray edges?... longer pieces for basting... You are the second person to suggest “Glue Stick” for holding pieces in place, I can imagine the “tips” are flying in groups classes!
What type of fabric are you using
Thanks very much for sharing this video. It is the one that I was looking for to learn sashiko work.😊
Getting off the subject but, are you wearing a yellow Jade necklace. It's lovely.😊
Love this.
Looking forward to your video 's, thank you! Marlene
Excellent. Thank you.
Thank you )
You have done some lovely work.
I think it would be truer if you stitch the underneath patches on first.
Excellent video..I have the needles & threads so off I go!!
I love Boro style and very new to it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Are all of your fabrics from Japan as well and do I need to buy special yarn as well? Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you. That was very informative.
Very welcome
Guauuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I will try it!!!!! Thanksss!!!
What type of thread is BEST ? This is beautiful .
Beautiful work!
just commenting here. I love colours and florals.not a plain fabric person,nor a dark fabric person.also,I hate frayed edges.n eat freak I am. so,how do I incorporate that into Boro " inspired ". because as you say,we should honour the original methods.recently,I have found Kantha stitching and they turn all rough edges under.
Great presentation!
On the tote bags, did you see the bag together “AFTER” you worked the front and back? (Wasn’t it hard to do on completed bag?)
Love your pincushions did you make them /?
Looking for a definition of Boro. I was never told what Boro is and what is the history or purpose? Keep hearing maybe you could do this. Is it this just an art form? Where did it originate?
Forgot to ask you, what is the neutral thread you were using, it looks quite strong.
Thank you!!!
Loved this video absolutely sensational. One small question which thread did you choose and was it fine thickness. Many thanks!!
Ооочень красиво!
Flannel wool Cotten etc
Your boro inspired is beautiful, thank you ... that was marvellous (but please do try and not say "uuum" every second word lol 😁💖)
Thank you
❤😊
Fascinating craft form, and so well explained. Just wondering how durable the pieces are when used on say a jacket or tote bag. Won’t they fray a lot? Thank you
They may fray somewhat, but that's part of the aesthetic appeal of boro textiles. Boro is all about up-cycling and continually repairing treasured garments
Is it washable??
Lovely 💖
Thank for this great presentation. Do you find that the glue interferes with the boro stitching?
I use these glue sticks a lot and find this glue is very needle and scissor friendly.
No, definitely not. The glue won't interfere with the stitching at all.
Very nice
Thank you so much for this video. I teach sewing and am wanting to teach this in my studio. What types of fabric do you recommend for doing this? I'm thinking if one were to use regular cotton such as quilters cotton they might want to add a fusible backing for stability when stitching. What are your thoughts on that?
No, I would not recommend using any fusible backing, use your base cotton fabric to provide stability. The process of adding your fabric scraps ("boro pieces") will provide their own thickness and substance.
Are the fabrics on top cotton? And what fabric is the background?
How do you do the zig zag around the edges of the base fabric?
It's great, but I don't like the glue
Awesome video. Is the background fabric Jeans and where can I maybe find them to purchase?
I tend to use a medium-weave yarn-dyed fabric for my boro-inspired backing fabrics. You can find them here: indigoniche.com/brand/moda-fabrics/ or here: indigoniche.com/product-category/fabrics/yarn-dyed-fabrics/
Beautiful! Thanks.
Can you use silk pieces on top? I love Boro and hope to do more
Yes you can, but if you're going to use silk fabric pieces I suggest using a silk thread
This was great! Do you say what the thread is?
You can use any Perle or sashiko cotton thread. And colours look fantastic. You should have fun with it and experiment with different colours.
Just to get to the fun sashiko faster, could the basting stitches be replaced with fine staples?
Not saying you can't do it, but it's not something that I'd advise. You may damage the fabric.
Could I use just regular fine sewing pins?
great
I can't see your work on the video
I might have missed it, but what are the fabrics made of?
They're all cotton fabrics; any cotton scrap fabrics are perfect for boro-inspired projects.
@@IndigonicheSashiko Thanks!
👏👏👏👏
Recipe?
Anybody else irritated that she went on about the yellow then promptly went n covered it over ☹️
These Colors are sad, drab ,and depressing " ugly "!
I laughed. That was so funny to me.
I like the mild tones. On a table runner I'd want it to be a subdued focus because I'd want pretty colorful dishes, vases, flowers, etc. be brightly colored.
Все хорошо и прекрасно , но не все понятно , так как нет перевода на русский язык.
You have got into the habit of saying um, um, um... It distracts.
Start with what it is! What is Boro mat??
In this video I'm making a table mat or table runner, using a Japanese textile practice called "boro". You can read more about boro here: indigoniche.com/2018/08/30/boro-stitching-introduction-history/
@@IndigonicheSashiko place mats are fine to use, also a great gift!
An interesting video on cultural misinterpretations and the misplaced use of words that define something historical applied to a fad in another country. He explains that boro + placemat concept to the Japanese like drinking from a toilet. Also using the word "inspired" Here's the vid: czcams.com/video/kwQSM1wtwes/video.html
Good but could you leave out half the ahhmmm’s
Bit rude!
I’m new to all this. I thought you amazing and inspiring. I’m going to update my ( much loved) old denim jacket and give these old arthritic hands a workout. Gratitude.
Your way of explaining is wonderful..thanks...
There's one in every group!!
Thank you, nice to have found you!!
🙄 colors that were chosen for this project are sad, drab, depressing!!!!
A Perfect project . ( colors say much about one's inner self ) "God gave us color to enjoy"👌🙆♀️🏞🌄🌇🏙🌹🌿🌻
Thank you so much I have learn a lot🩷
