I was surfing around on the www. after seeing a great picture of someone carrying a cloth bag, made out of 1 piece of cloth. I found lo-and-behold a blog on nondisposable living. She was an avid user of the Japanese Furoshiki technique. Found a couple small youtube tutorials too. Good for picnics, food shopping, gift wrapping and handbags. You can use any material, old bedsheets or fancy silks. Amazing, and incredibly eco-friendly, aesthetic and almost like origami...! Here is a quick how-to-sew. A wonderful move towards no plastic, and less garbage. The japanese are always so elegant.
Well, I am off to try on the kids playsilks.
Så utrolig kult!Dette har jeg lyst til å finne ut mer om.
ReplyDeleteWOW This is cool, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of trying out a wrap from this line last fall: www.thegiftedblog.com! There are so many variations to this idea; it's fun. How did experimenting with the playsilks go?
ReplyDeleteÅh, det var smart! Ja, japanerne kan noget med enkelhed og æstetik. Jeg må prøve at pakke gaver ind i silketørklæder med én af disse teknikker.
ReplyDeleteSmuk blog du har, dejligt med glimt fra Norge og de store vidder :)
