The Jewel Bricks pojagi mat is truly an international work. I began working on it when we lived in Korea and continued to work on it as we travelled back to Canada where I finished it. I even worked on it while taking the train through the Chunnel from France to England!
A pojagi is a wrapping cloth, that is used for carrying and storing things. But the techniques used to make wrapping cloths also used to make Lucky Bags, or pockets.
This pojagi is about sixteen inches square. It was made in the traditional way, with silk fabric and silk thread. The stitching was done by hand.
This pojagi pillow is made with Korean silk fabric and silk thread. This was fabric in my stash that I brought from Korea when we moved back to Canada.
This Diamond Table Runner is hand stitched with the traditional pojagi technique, although with linen and Perle cotton rather than silk or ramie.
These pojagi panels are a great way to add a splash of colour to your room. Use gradients of the same colour or multiple colours to get the look you want.
