Boro embroidery comes from the Japanese term boroboro meaning something that is torn, repaired or tattered. It is a technique used to repair, strengthen and lengthen the life of all sorts of textiles from clothing to bedding and anything in between.
You will need
- small pieces of fabrics; you may like to use pre-loved fabrics in keeping with the Boro tradition
- a base piece of fabric
- threads
- needle
- scissors
- pins
These instant workshops are PDF downloads that you can work on anytime, anywhere at your own pace. They are perfect gifts for creatives or yourself, especially if you find it hard to get to in person workshops. The workshop is yours to keep to refer back to time and time again, developing new skills and creating different textile artwork.
They are based on my in-person workshops, full of creativity and boosting your confidence through making art that is uniquely yours. There's lots of hints and tips in the workshop and if you need any further guidance you can always contact me.

This luxury set is all about elevating your work to a new level and taking some time for you. The one to one hour long lesson is online and explores what you need to complete your Boro Embroidery.

The lesson is yours to decide what to work on; kindly note that the lesson is to work on your Boro embroidery not other projects. We'll also discover what other projects can be worked with Boro embroidery.
