Pojagi Inspired Curtain
Give your fabric scraps a new life by making your own Pojagi inspired curtain.
Originating from Korea, this traditional technique mimics stained glass when illuminated by the sun and is an amazing way to make use of precious linen and cotton scraps! Known for its unique, fully enclosed, reversible seams that encase raw edges, this art historically served to recycle fabric scraps into beautiful and functional items like gift wrappers, curtains, or blankets.
