Korean Ramie Jogakbo (모시 조각보) Hand sewn Korean patchwork

Jogakbo (조각보) made from recycled Korean Ramie (모시). A traditional Korean patchworking technique to conserve and use small scraps of fabric. This craft was practiced traditionally with fine woven Ramie. These pieces of Korean Ramie I salvaged from some old placemats. I cleaned them thoroughly and took them apart into pieces. I am using thick cotton thread and a hand made antler folder (traditionally this would have been bone but I only had antler available).
