Botanically Dyed and Sewn Komebukuro (Project) Bag
This modern-day project bag is inspired by the traditional Komebukuro style bag. Komebukuro bags are a traditional Japanese bag often used to carry rice as offerings to temples and shrines. During this 4-day workshop, you will first learn how to mordant and dye cellulose fabric using botanical dyes, then learn a few Shibori techniques and dye cellulose fabric with indigo. This yardage will be used to create your bag. Once the fabrics have been dyed, you'll be guided through the steps of designing and sewing your unique Komebukuro (project) bag, starting with cutting your dyed yardage into outer and lining pieces and drawstring tabs that will then be constructed using sewing machines.
