Jogakbo traditionally used fabric scraps, making it well suited to scrap sewing today. The 5 different colors is a suggestion; use fewer or more colors as you like.
5 colors of fabric, 1/4 yard (0.2 meters) each OR scraps in various colors
If using scraps, you will need a piece that is 25 1/2” x 6” (64.8 cm x 15.2 cm) of fabric for hanging - or larger if making multiple panels and joining
Rotary cutter
Gridded cutting mat
Cutting ruler
Disappearing fabric marker or pencil
Thread snips
All purpose thread
Sewing machine - if machine sewing
Hand sewing needle - if hand stitching
Iron and ironing board
Optional:
1/2” diameter x 30” long (1.3 cm x 76 cm) wooden dowel, or preferred hanging method
2 yards (1.8 meters) of 3 mm hanging rope, such as macrame cotton rope
Fabric creasing tool
Pins

The character of your finished piece depends on what you choose. Sheer or lightweight fabrics like cotton voile or silk organza let light pass through the seams, making the piece work as a window hanging. Opaque fabrics such as lightweight linen or cotton lawn read more as wall art or privacy curatins. Heavy fabrics such as cotton twill or Kona cotton are not recommended.

Because this pattern is a series of rectangles, the document contains a diagram of measurements for each rectangle. It does not need to be printed to scale like a garment pattern. This PDF can be printed on A4 and US Letter paper formats. Color is preferred, as there are some colored references in the diagrams. Print with normal ink usage — not draft or photo.
Single-sided or double-sided printing both work fine — this pattern doesn't rely on page order or facing pages. Each page is numbered, so pages are easy to keep in order regardless of how you print.
