Boro is a traditional Japanese patchwork style. Boro means “ragged” or “tattered,” and was common among the nineteenth and early twentieth-century rural Japanese communities. Cotton was not common in Japan until well into the twentieth century, so when a kimono or a blanket started to become thin in a certain area, it would be patched with a small piece of scrap fabric using sashiko styled stitching in order to extend it’s life.
Our sweet little Boro inspired Rice Bags have proven to be a real favorite. Due to popular demand we now have both Pink & Blue Boro Fabric bundles available for this project - please note that while they are not the same as those used in my bag they are a great combination of feature fabrics, novelties, specialties & little pieces of Liberty that you will be able to combine with your own fabrics (if you choose) to make a beautiful bag.
