You will be addicted to finding jeans, purses, shirts, jackets and sweaters that you can put a patch on with these Japanese boro stitched patches! I had tremendous success with making face masks with this cotton Japanese fabric. I just had to find a way to work with all of my beautiful scraps and came up with the idea of making them into boro patches. I purchased several books and studied this unique and creative way to make patches. Boro is essentially the practice of using a simple running stitch ( a sashiko stitch) to reinforce a textile item using spare or would-be-discarded scraps of fabric. It is a practice that grew out of necessity in medieval Japan. Attach the patch by either hand-sewing right along the edge of the fabric or turning the edge in and sewing to your fabric. If you need the heavy thread I use for stitching, message me and I will send you some at no charge. If you would like a certain print or size on your patch, message me and I will be happy to work with you. ** If what you want is sold out, please keep checking back, I only like to list patches that are done and ready to ship. As soon as I have patches done I will adjust inventory. DESIGN DETAILS * You will receive either 2 patches of the square/rectangle in either light blue or dark blue or 1 butterfly. If you would like different patterns, please message me. * The sizes are: Light Denim - 4" x 4" & 4.5" x 4" Butterfly - 5"x4" Dark Denim - 4.25"x 4.75" & 2.25" x 4.25" ** Please note that some prints will not be exactly the way they are on the patch. It will depend on how I cut the fabric. ** The hand-painted dragonfly is now a bronze color. * Each patch has machine stitching around the sides to avoid further fraying. * If you wash your patch in the washing machine it will fray. I suggest washing the patches my hand. * Please note that the color of the light denim that I use now ( 2-1-23 ) is a bit light than the photo. Here's a few face masks and cross body bags that are from this fabric: https://www.etsy.com/listing/812789843/fabric-face-masks-adults-easy-to-breathe?ref=shop_home_active_160&crt=1 https://www.etsy.com/listing/884479383/cross-body-bag-cell-phone-bag-small?ref=shop_home_active_159&frs=1 https://www.etsy.com/listing/882230445/cross-body-bag-cell-phone-bag-small?ref=shop_home_active_163&frs=1 💜💜 Visit me on Pinterest for lot's of jewelry/fashion inspiration: http://www.pinterest.com/baysideblissdesigns http://www.instagram.com/wrapbaysideblissdesignsm m
