Inspired by centuries of Japanese tradition, Boro-style coin bags are practical, beautiful, and a perfect project for fabric lovers. In this class, you’ll learn how to transform scraps into a small bag for carrying coins, cards, sewing notions, and more. Discover different methods of "building Boro" while designing your own one-of-a-kind bag with a vintage, rustic, or European flair—or any theme that speaks to you! Join us for a creative, earth-friendly adventure into historical fiber art.
