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. 
 
Please select your colour preference. 
 
Our bundles are lovingly put together by our in store staff based on our current stock. Colours and designs may vary from pictured, maintaining a similar feel, however we are sure you will love them as much as we do.
