Creative Sewing Techniques: Introduction to Bojagi
|
Learn the basics of Bojagi, or Korean patchwork, to craft stunning textile compositions made by hand or with a sewing machine
Bojagi is a sewing technique with its roots in traditional Korean folk religions in which it was believed that wrapping something in these pieces assured good luck. In this online course, sisters Cecilia and Mercè González show you how this method has evolved and why it is so versatile.
After having brought you Silk Painting Techniques, the creators of the craft and textile art workshop Desedamas take you through the exciting process of applying Bojagi to your textile pieces, both by hand and with a sewing machine. Throughout the course, learn to create pieces to your liking by playing around with different shapes and sizes.
Cecilia and Mercè González start the course by explaining who they are and how two sisters ended up working together on Desedamas, their artistic project and way of life. They also show you their most significant influences and reference points.
Continue with a short presentation on the origins of Bojagi and its history. Get to know different types of fabrics and which ones are best suited for working with this technique.
Now it’s time to learn how to work with Bojagi by hand. Mercè introduces you to the materials and how to prepare your fabric. She then guides you through some basic hand sewing and shows you how to do the edges and finish off the piece.
Next, discover the Alterbojagi technique, which was created by your teachers. Prepare the tools, as well as the sewing machine, and start stitching the fabric. Work your way through various sewing techniques, apply the finishing touches, and see how to remove the adhesive, wash, and iron your piece following Cecilia’s instructions.
