The next day we were shown and taught how to do Boro. I have done this before but did learn some new tips. Laying out my fabrics.
I laid down some painters tape to give me some straight lines to start with but it kept lifting. It didn’t stick very well.
So I replaced it with masking tape. So much better.
This is the aim I am going for. Lots of fairly straight lines close together.
I will also add some curved lines and circles too.
Loved this bag pattern
It is a free pattern here
I also like this pattern to that Janet has made. The cross body bag.
Here I am sitting and enjoying my stitching while listening to others chat.
I have quite a few hand stitching projects going on now. These will keep me busy for a while, I mean months….
We all had a great weekend of hand stitching. Once again, Thankyou Janet

Un trabajo bonito e interesante. BESICOS.
Love, love, love those bags. The stitching is wonderful on them - gives them so much more character.
A hand stitching get together sounds great!
Looking forward to seeing your progress on this one.
I’m sure your boro project will turn out well. Enjoy the process.
Your Boro looks fantastic! Great idea on the masking tape.
I love those bags and that boro stitching. I've wanted to try Sashiko but haven't yet. I need lessons! LOL! Your fabric is going to be gorgeous. I love hand stitching. Enjoy!
I love the stitching on them all. I used to use masking tape when I first started hand quilting...a good technique.
They may be simple designs but the end result is stunning.
The Boro stitching is beautiful, and the bags are really striking. I don't know why, but hand stitching makes me tense, so I have to appreciate the handiwork of others. I will be interested to see this finished project when all of your stitching is completed.
