At the start of the Covid lockdowns last year I finally got around to fixing a "broken" sewing machine a friend was going to throw out. That led on to making facemasks - well once you've fixed it you got to learn how to use it eh? That led on to Sashiko which led on to Pojagi! This is the clearest explanation I could find and, as you say, even easier than your other video; I kept getting mixed up and ended up with a mixture of two seams and one seam on the same side or, worse still, the "right" side of printed fabric on BOTH sides! My daughter was down with me the whole of last week and the upshot was we bought a more modern sewing maching and I've been "commissioned" to make a window hanging for the apartment she's buying in London (UK, not ONT) so I'm guessing . . . . thank you? Stay safe and best wishes to Canada (I used to live in Thunder Bay, ONT.) Oh, what's the best method for finishing off the edges a large (2m x 1.5m) sheet of pojagi?
Thank you for this tutorial. I found that using a light box really helped with precision overlapping the edges. I was able to manage a nice narrow overlap and pinned like crazy to keep it together.
That's great! Please send me a picture of what you make. Also, be sure to check out my other video of the simple pojagi seam - ruclips.net/video/X5ViW5mraYM/видео.htmlsi=7_yGel3OtVhEiQVd I use the simple seam 90% of the time and the regular seam when I have problems with pressing.
It's not easy to see on the batik which is the right side and which is the wrong side. This is not a problem with batik fabric, but obviously is with ordinary cotton fabrics which have a clear difference between the 2 sides. Hence, I found it difficult to follow from the start, and especially once you began folding things this way and that. Perhaps you could do another video with this in mind. Thanks
That's interesting. I've never heard that before. In the Korean language, they don't differentiate between the "b" and "p" sound, so they would both be spelled the same way in Korean.
Thank for helping me to have a better understanding 😊
thx
Wonderful tutorial! Very clear instructions. Thank you.

Thank you!
Thank you- how lovely. Can’t wait to try this.
enjoy!

hi! is any backstitching necessary? thank you for the tutorial!
Not unless you notice that the seams are coming apart. I never backstitch.
Are you live in South Korea??☺︎☺︎☺︎
I do not live in South Korea now, but I used to live there. That is where I learned pojagi. Now I live in Canada.

Thank you so much for this suggestion. I will keep this in mind.
My Korean friend said, it is Bojagi for Koreans. Pojagi is Japanese. However, it defines the same art.
That's interesting. I've never heard that before.
In the Korean language, they don't differentiate between the "b" and "p" sound, so they would both be spelled the same way in Korean.
Epida Studio Yah, goggle it, or search here in RUclips Bojagi.
Thank you for making the videos.
It is a beautiful art.
