The book of Boro : techniques and patterns inspired by traditional Japanese textiles / Susan Briscoe. by Briscoe, Susan, author. London : David & Charles, 2020. Subjects Quilting -- Japan -- Patterns.   Patchwork -- Japan -- Patterns. ISBN:  9781446308325 (paperback) : 1446308324 (paperback) Description:  127 pages : color illustrations ; 28 cm Requests:  1 Summary:  A collection of boro-inspired projects and techniques which celebrates this traditional Japanese textile and its relevance to the modern sewer and quilter. Learn about the history of boro and how it is being revived for a new audience using contemporary fabrics including denim, linen and shibori tie dye as well as sashiko and other embroidery stitches. The word boro comes from the Japanese boroboro meaning something tattered or repaired. It refers to textiles that have been mended or patched together for utilitarian, not decorative, purposes to make the fabric stronger and warmer, and to mend torn and threadbare areas. The techniques section includes a short stitch directory with traditional stitches (running stitch and applique) and contemporary stitches (herringbone stitch, blanket stitch, chain stitch and whipped running stitch). Other techniques include instructions on improvisational patchwork; applique: raw, turned edge and reverse; darning techniques and methods for distressing and ageing fabrics to achieve an authentic boro finish.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 746.46041 Br   Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.46041 Br   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.46041 Br   Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 746.46041 Br pbk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.46041 Br   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 746.46041 Br   Item being held   Add Copy to MyList
