Boro is the practice of using sashiko stitching to reinforce a textile item using scraps of fabric, resulting in what is called Boro Textiles. The process of continual mending resulted in beautiful textiles. Over centuries, the practice of Boro has grown into a distinctively gorgeous textile art form. 

As with sashiko, Boro combines practical functionality with beauty. You can create fabulous looking table runners, cushion covers, quilts, tote bags, placemats and clothing.  You are only limited by your creativity.

The Boro Box has been curated with aroha for those who would like to try Boro..  They are beautifully presented in a box and are a pleasure to open.

The Boro Box has been put together with a range of Boro inspired fabrics including vintage kimono fabric, Japanese yarn dyed wovens, cottons, silk and linens. 

 The fabric selection in each box may vary, but each is put together with aroha and are a joy to open.

 Your box will include:

  • A piece of calico to use as a base cloth to sew your fabrics onto
  • A piece of batting to use as a base cloth
  • 1 - 20m skein sashiko thread
  • Japanese sashiko needles
  • 20 pieces of especially curated fabrics

Included is an information sheet on Boro and how to start your first Boro project.

Each box is an individual joy and the photos are a good representation of what you will receive but are not exact.
