I've just discovered bojagi - or pojagi - a Korean patchwork technique that produces a beautiful stained glass effect. The cloth was traditionally used to cover food, to wrap gifts or to carry items.
A pojagi (noun) is a wrapping cloth, but it also refers to a whole collection of sewing techniques by both hand and machine.
This tutorial will get you started with unlined pojagi by hand. The seams are completely enclosed, so there is no right or wrong side to the end product.
When Marian from Seamstobesew asked me to participate in her blog hop "A Fresh Snow Hop"and show sewing with non cotton fabrics I was absolutely sure what to share with you . This is totally different from traditional quilt - first because of fabrics and second - because of specific way of constructing the finished item. Have you ever heard about pojagi - the Korean patchwork? It is also known as bojagi. When I have seen a curtain made this technique I felt in love. I have sewn a similar curtain six years ago. The fabrics I used then was not transparent, but there is a lamp behind the curtain so the effect was the same. Now I tried sewing pojagi with different fabrics and I am satisfied with the result too much. All you need is transparent fabrics. As a real quilter you have to have a lot of patience. You might read some tutorials after Google searching or read my step by step detailed instructions. Here is the fabric. It is fine linen specially for curtain. The good news is that both sides are the same. Get two pieces. You have to stitch them by "french seam" - no face, no backside for the finished item. Before stitching them see how to place proper- with a little gap - about 1/3 inch. In traditional piecing if you work with 1/4 inch seam allowances you need 1/2 inch extra fabric when stitch together two pieces. It is good to know that here you must provide ONE INCH extra fabric - 1/3 inch from first fabric and 2/3 inch from second fabric. After stitching iron as shown. First towards one side and then to make an auxiliary fold on the back. Now the next stitching is very easy. Finished look of this stage, Keep in mind that now both side are different - one seam on the first and two seams on another. Use different threads if want to increase the effect. Here we don't have a quilting so contrasting thread is quite welcome. Be brave to experiment. Repeat the same way with other pieces no matter the size and color. Trim the exceed if needed. Good luck!

Complex Chogakpo Pojagi
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 boj…
Not wanting to throw away a single scrap after every sewing project, I've found myself with a heaping pile of fabric. I've used scraps to make a bucket hat, decorate a denim jacket, and for other small projects, and eventually stumbled upon images of beautiful and delicate bojagi (Korean wrapping cloths). Their sealed, flat seams technique was perfect for a scrap-busting curtain I had in mind, inspired by this project. I read a little more about the history of the Jogak Bo technique
Bojagi are Korean wrapping cloths and they are a great way to creatively reuse fabric remnants in more delicate fabrics like silk, ramie and organza.
