There were shops in Seoul selling rolls of narrow, extremely crisp ramie fabric that is used for summer hanbok and pojagi. All colors.

I bought some to make placemats.

Thank you for this very informative blog, I am studying thie technique as part of my City and Guilds course in Patchwork and Quilting and your blog has really helped in understanding the technique and its potential. You wouldn’t happen to know where i could get hold of a book about the technique even if if it was in Korean. Illustrations would be a start to getting to grips with the different types of seams talked about.

Thank you for this beautiful and informative blog. I read every word and enjoyed the photos. This August I will be curating a small international exhibit of contemporary pojagi at the Columbia City Gallery here in Seattle. Most of the artists are former students of Chunghie Lee, including myself. The title of the exhibit is ‘Pojagi Now: Contemporary Interpretations of the Korean Wrapping Cloth’. Your blog has enriched my knowledge of this amazing textile tradition.

Thank you so much for this thorough overview of pojagi. I have two vintage pojagi, but the colorful ones you’ve shown here are equally stunning. I’m so excited to try it myself and have already attempted to capture a similar aesthetic in other projects.

Thank you for such an informative post on pojagi and Korean embroidery. My wife and I have been in Korea now for 10 months and have been wanting to purchase a patchwork piece before leaving. Until now, however, we didn’t even know the name for it! Whenever we inquired at a Korean handcraft shop, something was always lost in translation. Anyway, you’ve given us a whole lot more than just the name “pojagi,” so thanks.

This is a well written and informative article. Thanks for the introduction of Pojagi. The photos are beautiful and the window curtain and the model’s clothing…. absolutely beautiful. A totally different art.

Thank you for your excellent article. I saw Pojagi at the V&A and at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford many years ago. I bought some fabric and kits when I visited the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival in 2006 & 2007, I also saw an exhibition in a department store in Kyoto while I was there, my friend Reiko took me along with some of her patchwork students. I have been teaching myself the technique. I now want to show it to my students but I have not been able to find the fabric. Do you know of a website where I can order some for shipment to the UK?

I am looking forward to The Festival of Quilts in UK (National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham) in August 2009, Chungie Lee is one of the featured artists, I have admired her work for a long time in magazines.
