Beginner Bojagi || Bakjwi and butterflies

Hand-stitched from fabric scraps, I think these will add an extra layer of beautiful detail and symbolism to my first Pojagi-inspired piece.
Thank you again to the lovely ‪@youngminleebojagi‬ for her brilliant and inspiring videos. Here's the Bakjwi tutorial -

[@artyfartyannie]

Thank you very much Annette :)

Super cute and so many variations and uses and all made out of the smallest pieces of fabric’s. Just lovely thank you Annie for another great video. x 💐

[@artyfartyannie]

Thank you Jen - I've been seeing these butterflies for years but never tried them before, it was way easier than I thought, and very quick, even by hand :)

[@pamfrank3962]

Great idea for body of the butterfly 🦋

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

Ingenious as usual Annie. Just love those butterflies!😍💕

[@artyfartyannie]

Thanks Liz - they're an old idea, but first time I've tried them and I was surprised how quick and easy they were. I love stitching and I love origami, so it's a win-win for me :)

Absolutely beautiful so much inspiration thanks for opening up another rabbit hole xxx

[@artyfartyannie]

Thanks Jacquie, these have been around for so long but I've never tried them before - now we know how, we can play with the idea and take it off in new directions ... :)

[@pamfrank3962]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial of new and unique pieces. As far as your needle a Lady that I often watch on utube says "You do You" enjoy life.❤

Thank you so much Anne, honestly they were very easy to do. I have another kidn of hand-stitched butterfly to try next - just need to find a purpose for them! :)

Thank you Chantelle :)

[@marthamanigross]

Love this! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing what’s happening on the dress form! 😊 🦋

[@artyfartyannie]

Thank you Martha! Oooh there are three different things brewing on the dress form, I just need to decide which to go with next :)

[@Gothlite-i1l]

I find when I'm watching your videos that I'm nodding, or have my mouth open, or squeezing my eyes in concentration, or I'm stock still with whatever I happen to be holding at the time frozen in my hand in mid-air. To say I am mesmerized is not far from the truth. It's a wonder I don't cluck like a chicken - LOL! (OMG, I just caught myself doing the surprised 'O' with my mouth as you turned the buggee -sp?- inside out.)

[@artyfartyannie]

hehe thank you Rachel, that is a wonderful compliment and you've made my day! :)

[@pamgreen1898]

Just to say my favourite needles are Cotton Darners size 7 or 9 depending on thread so you are not alone Annie. Much easier to hold . Very inspiring video once again, thank you

[@artyfartyannie]

Ah good it's not just me then, with my kiddies needle! Honestly I struggle holding very fine needles now, especially for long periods of time, and you wouldn't be able to see it on camera so well either. Each to her own I say! :)

Oooh I bet I could also do this in black to make it more like a bat as well. Bats and Butterflies, how fun! Hopefully Daughter will want to make some with me.

[@artyfartyannie]

ooooh yes, would also be interesting to try the bojagi patchwork technique in sheer black .... maybe one to try for Halloween .... you've got my cogs turning now!! :)
