My Jogakbo Wall and Window Hanging Pattern Is Here

My first sewing pattern is officially live in my online shop – Jogakbo Wall & Window Hanging Pattern — Korean Patchwork PDF Sewing Pattern is available to download for $25.

Jogakbo (조각보) is a traditional Korean patchwork technique — historically a way to piece leftover fabric scraps into something new, with the seams themselves becoming part of the design.

This pattern brings that technique into a modular wall or window hanging:

  • Modular and adjustable — size and arrangement are yours to change

  • Beginner-friendly — step-by-step written instructions with diagrams for hand and machine sewing

  • Scrap-friendly — use fabric you already have, or the fabrics I recommend

  • A foundation for other projects — the technique can also be used to create your own patchwork fabric

A video tutorial and pattern is available at Creativebug.com – a full step-by-step video walkthrough of this pattern. I earn a commission if you sign up through the Creativebug link I provide. Creativebug is an online learning platform with thousands of arts and craft workshops, all on video. I had the opportunity to produce 4 classes and film at their production studio this past May, during a week in Berkeley, CA. After poking around on their platform for about a year now, there are so many classes I want to take, especially when the weather turns cold. Maybe even have some friends over and take a class together – with some nibbles and wine.
