Komebukuro, Kinchaku & Co.
Embroider Japanese rice and gift bags using the sashiko and boro technique.
Komebukuro are rice bags that are traditionally made in Japan from worn clothing, i.e. recycled. Sashiko is an ancient Japanese embroidery technique that can be used to reinforce and embellish damaged clothing. In this course, we will learn how to skilfully use textiles sustainably by cutting rice bags from used clothing (preferably jeans) and learning the most important basic steps and patterns of Sashiko.
Kinchaku bags are popular gifts in Japan. They are ideal for trying out the boro technique. Boro means patchwork and can be described as Japanese patchwork or quilting.
The finished bags can be used in a variety of ways: as cosmetic bags, storage for cables and chargers, embroidery and knitting utensils, etc.
Other possibilities for small formats are pincushions and brooches/buttons.
Ideal for beginners and those returning to the world of embroidery.
