Lately, I keep seeing this certain kind of window cover that looks like a transparent linen quilt. I love it. Apparently it is the Korean art of pojagi.
Bojagi or bo for short (also pojagi or bojaki) is a traditional Korean wrapping cloth. Bojagi are square and can be made from a variety of materials, though silk is common. Embroidered bojagi are known as subo.
Here is a video I found on the interwebs about a pojagi class at RISD. I especially love the white pojagi dress that is put on like a hospital johnny. It would be a lovely nontraditional wedding dress.
Below are more examples. Click on the images to be taken to the source.
I love the irregular angular shapes.
Below is a close-up of a curtain I made using vintage linen napkins. I’d like to keep experimenting with this idea. I’d like to create a larger curtain that is more pieced, like the examples above.
Definitely want to do this with vinatage handkerchiefs
It’s on my to-do list as well. 🙂
