The Boro Stitch Kits have a great selection of carefully chosen fabrics for you to create 3 ten inch square hand embroidered Japanese Boro Style projects.
Available in 3 Color Collections: Blue, Rust, or Plum
Japanese Boro Stitching began in Japan centuries ago as a way to conserve hard to get cotton fabrics used in everyday life. The mending of clothing and other utilitarian pieces with basic yet elegant hand stitching has now become an art form worth exploring.
I have been inspired by the beauty and simplicity of this style of stitching, and I want to share my love of these textiles with you through the development of the Boro Stitch Kits.
