Boro + How I Made My Patchwork Coat
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ม.ค. 2019
- I am so pleased so many people love the boro-inspired patchwork coat I made. I find handstitching projects very relaxing, so I occasionally make/upcycle things for myself. Usually I do things on a rather leisurely timeline but so many of you wanted to learn how I did it so I made a point to finish this up quickly so I could make this video! In this video, I go over what boro and sashiko stitching are, why my coat is not exactly boro, and then I go over step by step instructions on how to make this coat!

Do you like the sound of my new voice over mic? Give this video a thumbs up if you do!
sounds like if you were sick... are u?
No, way too animated
Love it! It sounds confident and knowledgeable!
You're voice is fine, Thank Allah you have a voice. Your designs are beautiful and you just gave me an idea to fix a boring jean coat, my first actually. So thanks.
A YEAR LATER. . . . YOUR PIECE IS TIMELESS PIMPIN. . . CUTE VOICE
I'm proud to say I own a piece of clothing that I feel I can call "true boro". My older brother used to longboard a lot, and was the one who taught me how to skate, and he had this thin-fabric grey-blue button-up shirt that he'd wear while doing downhill skating. When he moved out, he left it at our house, and let me keep it when I found it, saying it was too torn up anyways from times he'd crashed while skating downhill. I took it upon myself to patch up the holes in the fabric using the same stitching style displayed in old Japanese boro, although at the time I didn't realize what I was doing, I simply sewed that way since it was easier and faster. I began wearing the patched shirt as something of an overshirt, something to act as an extra layer of fabric so I don't scrape myself if I fall while skating. I, like my brother, took a large interest in downhill skating, and would spend much time going at irresponsible speeds down the floors of whatever local multi-level parking garage was nearest. Many times I would crash (Big shoutout to my helmet for saving me from countless concussions and fractured skulls). And most times when I would crash, another part of my lovely patched shirt would sadly get torn and shredded. Wanting to keep on the "legacy" of the shirt, I continued patching it, a patch for every scrape the road has mercilessly raked into its fabric. To this day, while I do not skate as much as I used to before my life became more hectic and time-consuming, I still wear it regularly. The buttons have come off so many times that I long-since stopped bothering to sew them back on, and have taken to wearing it as something resembling a Japanese Haori, as I've realized that's the shape the shirt has slowly taken as the fabric has stretched from patching. I'm proud of this shirt and will wear it as long as I can, and for anyone who somehow lived long enough to read all of this, I applaud you, as well as highly recommend taking that iron-strength patience of yours and using it to start your own boro project from the next torn piece of clothing you consider throwing out. Happy sewing.
I love your style of speech...I feel like I’m listening to a standup comedian, at times. I’m working on a quilted coat and plan to use your instructions on Sashiko to enhance the coat. The quilt was given to me at 5 yrs old, but I wasn’t to use it until I was married (20). I’m now 64 and want to show my grandmother’s hand stitch work to the people I meet...to tell her story.
My first ever sewing project (age 16) was a quilt of denim from pants we had outgrown. The inside was a couple of old blankets and the back an old sheet. I have patched every wear and tear just as this technique you share. Rather than actually quilting it I used french knots in red crochet thread to bind the layers together.
The stitching technique you shared I learned to do for quilting, I think its referred to as "rocking the needle."
I think your coat is fabulous and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Hi! I don't know about Japanese technic , but in many states of India it is very common... our great grand mothers use to do this and they use to create unique works...
Right at child birth, making mattress and shawls for the new born, then few pillow covers and sofa covers, some decoratives, coats, jackets, punjabi suits, frocks and lot more...
They use to do the project from old stuff and some time they buy brand new fabrics and cut them into patches....
Sometimes people can't effort so they buy the cloth for kilograms from scrap of textile factories and then they make it...
However they were the real artists..
And I inherited from my mom, grand mom and great grand mothers...
Love them all
This is so freaking cool!!! Love how educational it was. Thanks Zoe ❤️❤️
Thanks and you're welcome!

The holes in the denim patches are an exquisite touch. And so many snacks can be stored in them pockets.
So. Many. Snacks. Snack holes! They are so big they can hold a regular size bag of potato chips. I miss your face! I'm going to be in LA in mid-July, hint hint.
I would eat the entire bag of chips. Miss you too, can’t wait to see you/eat Korean food.
Mind blown. Love this. Stylish, eco, sustainable, and meditative. What's not to love?!
Thanks!
This was an awesome video- tutorial! Thank you SO much! Your sound was great, no him-hawing, straight to the point and lots of information. I never learned to sew more than some not-so-straight lines, but this I can do! I'm so excited. You're a great teacher!
I never get tired of reviewing this video. Thank you so much for the info and inspiration. ❤️
Very inspiring! A childhood friend grew up with her maternal grandmother living with them. From the outside it was a typical lakeside cottage, but once you walked thru the front door, you were transported to old Japan. It was quite a cultural education for me and my mom, and I’ve had a soft spot for all things Japan since
I’ve been wanting to make a boro happi or naragi. This is the only video I’ve e found that actually explains how to do a coat and not have to actually go through decades of wear and patching. Helpful beyond words! Thank you!
Zoe, I love the Boro style Coat you made. Thank you for the great "how to" video. I am going to attempt creating a slightly shorter version... more a Jacket. I have a just purchased some fabric from "Indigo Niche", an Australian online shop that specialises in Japanese fabrics and clothing. Your video has re-inspired me and your tips will be soooo helpful too. I am now 70 years young and have been sewing since I was around 14 years old. Unfortunately I have only recently discovered Boroboro and am fascinated with the history and cultural sentiment. Thank you, beautiful lady.
Zoe your videos are a journey into the unknown, always a huge learning curve thank you.
Your tutorial is a blessing and a blissing. It has given me inspiration to make my own. I will be using an African theme to the boro coat I am making. It will take me a while, but I have already started purchasing the material I need. Thank you for posting this video
Love love love this video. I love your style. You are so relaxed and talk like you are talking to friends.
Thanks for the inspiration. The fabulous thing about Boro is that it is art in progress. It never gets done and that's the beauty of it. I found this video because I'm hunting for a pattern for a quilt jacket but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I want to make something similar to Lady Lancaster's Aunt Ethel style jacket which is similar to a short kimono style. I am not planning on using a quilt like she does because I don't have any that would be to the point of cutting into so I was going to make the sections in a lose quilt style. I am going to raw edge random pieces together like you have done over thin batting and a backing fabric, find a pattern and make it into a jacket (step one lol) and then boro style hand stitch at my leisure. That way I can use it and add stitches when I feel like it. So maybe I will buy a cheap kimono to use as a pattern for the pieces. I can do everything else, but designing the pattern is not my wheelhouse. Love your relaxed style. Your jacket is stunning!
Thanks for the tutorial. I am so inspired by the boro garments in your tutorial. Love your asthetic and the color combos. I have always liked chunky stitching. Made a quilt with chunky circles stitched through random indigo and browns and gray. Thanks for the inspiration! Have a bunch of denim and a cast off brown wool suit from my husband that is going to make a boro style kimono/vest for wearing over my old t shirts this winter! I plan to use a bunch of homespun plaid quilt fabric scraps from my thimbleberries era and I think it will look shabby but cool.
You’re so inspirational. I love the way you are confident in your talk and explanation. I literally went into my craft room and started stitching/ patching a pair of old jeans to give it more sparkle. Thank you for opening the BoroBoro technique. I’m in love.
Thank you! I'm so glad you're patching your jeans!
I’m getting in to Shashiko!!! I’m loving how creative I can be with it and make it in to my own style. Boro is very interesting! First time I’m hearing about it and now I have to research!
What a great video tutorial. I so appreciate all the effort you put into creating this. Thank you. I'm a huge fan of boro boro.
I love how detailed this video is! I don’t have a project like this to do YET, but I’m saving this video! Excellent tip about the cardstock on the ironing board!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE COAT, have loved bono for years this is amazing
thank you!
Thank you!! Absolutely beautiful. I love to sew by hand.
Lovely! Such a beautiful use for scrap fabric 💕
I like the way the stitches look on the inside where they go through all the layers, makes it interesting. great job, thanks for posting this video.
Me too! I might wear this inside out sometimes!
My style is usually so neat and on point, but my life recently seems to have acquired boro texture, so I find this inspiration oddly compelling. Thanks Zoe, you're a godsend - I will surely try this technique
Thank you! Have fun with boro!
YESSSSSS I AM SO EXCITED THAT THIS VIDEO IS OUT ILY AND I LOVE YOUR COAT OMG
Thanks!
There are lots of inspirational ideas contained in this. It is not my aesthetic, but there are lots of pieces here and there to incorporate with other ideas. Very cool.
Ichiroya is a wonderful site! The owners are so sweet and speak English - I've been a customer for years and can't recommend them enough!! Thank you for an amazing tutorial!
Yes! They're great!
Nothing short of divine, keep up the good work!
Great project with excellent description 👍🏼 Also, the covered ironing board tip is excellent. Thank you 🌹
Absolutely Love your information and Your level of creativity. I Just found you and now I have my creative Zen again. I appreciate YOU and Thanks....Keep the videos flowing!
Spectacular piece. Thanks for sharing your process.
wow i love the history you shared about this!!
Fantastic coat, Zoe! and you are an excellent teacher. Thanks so much for this tutorial.
Wow! I didn’t even know about Boro!! I absolutely love this!! Thanks Zoe!
Beautiful! Years ago I made some quilts out of deconstructed kimono. The fabrics are so great. I love what you've done with this coat!
Awesome! The original boro came from amazing quilts. Yes, I'm so obsessed with the fabrics too.
Thats an EXCELLENT design !!! Thanks !
This is great - lots of great ideas and passing down textile art.
I'm so glad I came across this video! I discovered boro and sashiko last summer and I immediately started making tote bags and zipper pouches. Even opened an etsy store :). I remember looking for videos about boro textiles on youtube but there really wasn't much to see, until now so thank you for this!
Good luck with your store!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I have lots of old jeans and want to make a patchy maxi skirt but I didn't know where to start! This was so helpful!
OMG, this coat is so great, I love it!!! You’ve inspired me to learn this style of stitching!!! I’ve got tons of old and never worn clothes I can use. Thank you so much for this wonderful video and for allowing us access to your Pinterest board. Yay!!!
Have fun mending!
incredibly inspiring! I just started working on a small boro garment and learned a lot from your video. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I love this video SO MUCH! Your Boro coat looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing this with us 😊❤️
thanks!
Yes, a tote bag! That’s exactly where I will start! Thanks Zoe~ what an inspiring way to reuse and upcycle.😊
Good luck with your bag!
I love this video! Makes me think about back home. I love your Boro jacket! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Thank you and you're welcome!
Stunning!!!! So glad I stumbled across this video...you are so inspiring!
thank you!
Awesome! Looking forward to your videos! Have a love for oriental designs!
You are very generous with your knowledge. Thank you so much.
Amazing -you continue to delight. Thank-you.
I love this coat! You could make a little business of custom Boro coats.
OMG I would sell them but they would be so expensive because they take a lot of man hours of handwork.
I have bought from Ichiroya too, and I must say that i'm very satisfied of what they offer, and the speed of expedience of the orders. Can recommend them highly.
Loved it, I've been collecting old jeans, maybe I will start with a tote! Thank you for sharing!
Oooh all old denim patches tote sounds awesome!
Love your creations!
I totally love your finished coat😍🥰❤️ I have many pieces in my wardrobe that are worn, ripped, patched or made from other patches of fabric and had no idea this was an actual thing. Thanks for sharing the Amuse Museum items as well as your process!!!! I loved this❤️👏🏻
thank you and you're welcome!
I am so glad I ran across your vid. This is certainly a great idea, and I need a winter coat... so just may try this. Thanks for making the vid.
Thank you, Zoe! I am just learning sashiko technique and would like to make a kimono. Your video is timely! I love your work and your tutorials. XXOO
That pair of dungarees with decorative running stitches! What an idea! I am going to steal it and start doing that on my old boring jeans. Thanks for the inspiration.
Steal it and have fun! I get compliments all the time.
Enjoyed your video. Great idea. Repurposing items is my passion. So Thank you for the inspiration!!!!
I'm watching this playlist for a couple da now and I'm so inspired by your work!! Thinking in use a old bathrobe that I have and completely patch it up with left over fabrics and denim parts that a collect
Do it!
The edits are beautiful and I adore indigo....
Just want to say. I LOVE YOU! So glad i found you and i will totally be making this coat
This gives me inspiration to save some old denium work dresses I haveto give them new life!
This is just great! It is 100% not my aesthetic, it is very cool though, and something I could see one of my daughters really loving. I really appreciate how you went through the history, and the prices!
thanks!
What is your style?
. House and yardwork grunge 😂
That's what I saw in my dream. I fell asleep under two computers. I opened the door with the first computer, and there was another computer when I entered it. This is what I was wearing when I woke up. This dress seems to have been blanketed with a checkered sweater.
Love you video. Just recently heard of Boro, and now seeing your video I want to try making a jacket. Thanks😊
Have fun making your jacket!
I relate to the up cycling box
I get so happy when the upcycling box gets emptier and emptier!
Love your work . Beautiful and inspiring
Beautifully amazing!!!😍🤩 and great idea ..the stitching!
Omg I love your kimono 👘 it’s looks so amazing 🤩
This was so amazing, what an inspiration!
Love this video. Love your style. Cant wait to start my jacket.
This was such an inspiring upload! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this informative and beautiful video! You've made a wonderful work of wearable art, and it's so exciting to learn new (OLD!) ways of reusing what we already have.
You're welcome and thank you!
This is amazing! I love the giant patch pockets!
Thanks! That's my favorite part!
That looks AMAZING!!!!!🙌🏾
I love this. I'm about to sew a dress and coat for my daughter and adding patchwork details with my scraps.
Cool!
i've just looked at about 5 secs of this .....You are Incredible! Beauty Abounds!
Many thanks for that video, I like the idea to reuse fabric. The coat has much life!!
Greetings from Sweden

Thanks and you're welcome!
I love this sort of stuff, it's stunning!
thanks!
This is beautiful!!
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! ❤️ it so much!
this was so nice to watch!
I so.love the idea of the stitching on the overalls!
Feel free to copy the idea! I get compliments whenever I wear them.
Such an inspirational and well made video with lots of historical info and how to get started on either a small project like just experimenting on a pair of jeans or a little bag. By the way I adore kimonos and love the idea of using one as a base for embellishing. I love your video:)
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial!
The coat looks amazing and I love all the info you gave about the traditional techniques!! "Little stabs" is SUCH a mood, too ^_^
hahahhahahahah MOOD
Truly cool and so beautiful
So inspiring! I just followed you on Pinterest a few days ago and I’m glad I did. We have tons of similar interests in things and look forward to learning more from you. Thanks for the tutorial!
You're welcome!
cannot wait to try, have a group of young girls that I am teaching, I think think would be a great camp project for the woods this summer. Thank you for sharing all of your gifts with the rest of us!
I didn't think about it before but it does look like a great project for young kids! Have fun!
@@zoehongteaches Incorporating some history with it will be fun, thanks. I hope they have fun.
I have a huge bag of scrap I’ve been keeping and now I know what to do with them!!! Thanks so much I learned loads!
Yay! Have fun!
Just beautiful
Didn't know about Boros, they remind me of artist Robert Rauschenberg! Also love the you provided historical/cultural information about boros. I'm new to the fashion designing world but I'm definetely inspired. Thanks 😊😊
I like that comparison a lot! Great artist.
Hi Zoe. So glad that I found you. I've been into sashiko and boro as you can tell on my youtube channel. I just havent been quite brave enough to try the patches but I'm working on a gold jacket and I might use a few patches. The patches really give it a wonderful loved look.ill be watching your other videos and I subscribed to you too.
Thanks for sharing this Zoe !
Hope your well and happy ! xxx
