Some close up pictures. Top Left the Chicken I Appliquéd onto A Canvas Bag.

Bottom Right the Chicken I Appliquéd onto A Gift Card.

I had so much fun making all these. The Chicken took less than a week to Crochet.

The Appliqué on the Canvas Bag took an hour or two and is machine stitched onto the bag.

And the Appliqué Chicken Gift Card was made using HeatnBond so a quick no Sew project.

Japanese Boro Bag

Image
  Here is a link to the  Japanese Boro Bag Tutorial  I used to make my own Boro Bag below. And read about  Sashiko and Boro Work This tutorial has lovely pics and some basic instructions. I'm just going to go into a little bit of detail on how I put this bag together for those of you who need a little more detail. So this post is not how to make the bag. The Japanese Boro Bag Tutorial link above does that. This post simply gives a little more detail of how I made the Boro Bag. So follow the link instructions. They may well be enough for you to make your own Boro Bag. If not, here are a few details of how I made mine. Making tabs I used my contrast fabric but later realised it would have been easier to use the webbing I bought for the strap. You will need two pieces approx 3" to attach the bag strap,  one approx 7" for the fob.and a slightly thinner piece about 9" for the fastening loop. The bag webbing I used was 25mm/1". To make the fastening loop I...

Boro Stitching - Needles & Threads

Image
Following on from my  Boro Bag Post  .  I want to talk a little today about Needles, Threads and Fabric for Boro Stitching. Basically to get the best results (and the most stress free Stitching experience) you need to use the best combination of needle and thread for the fabrics you are using. Because, if you use a needle that is too small or big for you fabric and chosen thread your gonna hit problems, and at the very least your work is going to fight you. Basically not so much fun as frustration. So it pays to use the right tools for the job. There are numerous types of Needles and Threads to use when sewing, which basically depend on the fabrics you are stitching and the effect you want to achieve. I could write a blog post on each one. But today I just want to focus a little on Needles, Threads and Fabrics for more traditional Boro Work. You'll probably be pleased to know that Boro is traditionally worked with thicker threads and bigger needles! It's one of the reason...

Boro Inspired Stitching

Image
 Hello there my Stitching Friends. Today I want to share with you my latest Boro Inspired piece of work.  I find this Traditional Japanese style of stitching wonderfully relaxing. It's based on need rather than decoration but still manages to produce a visually strong finished piece of work.  I'm making my piece of Boro fabric into a Bag. But technically that's the wrong way around! Boro traditionally didn't start It's life as Boro. It slowly became Boro over years of daily use and mending..... Boro is filled with lots of lovely Hand Stitching called Sashiko in thick thread often  contrasting the fabrics it covers. (Think basic running or quilting stitches.) This simple stitch intended to be functional also creates a fabulous visual impact. Read my post on Boro Needles and Threads  Here The bag I'm making came from this   Boro Bag link I've thoroughly enjoyed the project. So much so that I created a YouTube Video showing how I created this piece. You c...
