Furoshiki

21/4/2013

 
Nowadays we have a lot of different garments in our wardrobe, but what if you would only need a few items and you could make a lot of different garments and bags with those items? This is possible with Furoshiki.

Furoshiki is the Japanese art of folding and knotting.
With Furoshiki you always start with a square cloth. By knotting and folding this fabric in different ways different ‘packages’ are created. Originally this technique was used to take laundry to wash houses in Japan. Later more products where packed in the square cloths to transport them and currently Furoshiki is also accepted as wrapping paper.

I made a bag using the Furoshiki method for Chatoui.

On the pictures you see how you can fold the bag. If you google Furoshiki you will find much more possibilities.
