Bojagi Curtains: A 3-Week Sew-Along Series

$225.00

Option 1: July 29, August 5, August 12 — 6-9pm (SOLD OUT)

Option 2: August 18, August 25, September 1 — 6-9pm

Create a one-of-a-kind patchwork curtain panel inspired by traditional Korean bojagi textiles in this three-week beginner-friendly sewing series. Together, we’ll explore jogakbo — a style of bojagi created by piecing together small fabric remnants into organic, light-filled compositions that resemble stained glass when hung in the window.

Students will learn foundational machine sewing techniques while constructing their own curtain panel using machine-sewn ssamsol (flat-felled) seams, the distinctive reversible seam finish traditionally used in bojagi construction. Along the way, we’ll cover seam finishing, pressing techniques, patchwork composition, and textile assembly in a supportive small-group environment.

Materials: All materials, sewing machines, and tools are included. However, if you have specific cotton or linen fabrics you are wanting to incorporate into your piece, feel free to bring them with you.

Skill Level: All levels are welcome. No prior sewing experience is necessary.

What You’ll Make: One 20” x 30” bojagi café curtain panel.

The three sessions will be broken down as follows:

Week 1: Design & Foundations
Learn machine sewing basics, explore and practice ssamsol flat-felled seams, and begin planning your curtain design through fabric layout and composition.

Week 2: Piecing the Panel
Cut fabric and begin constructing your curtain. Focus on accurate piecing and seam construction as your design takes shape.

Week 3: Finish & Assemble
Complete the panel, refine seams and edges, press, and finish your curtain for hanging and display.

Cancellation Policy:

Our workshops are intentionally small so everyone has plenty of space, support, and time to create. Because of our limited capacity, each cancellation makes a big difference.

  • Cancel 14 or more days before your workshop: You'll receive a full refund to your original payment method.

  • Cancel between 48 hours and 14 days before your workshop: We'll issue you a Patchwork credit that can be used toward any future workshop or retail purchase.

  • Less than 48 hours before your workshop (or no-shows): Unfortunately, we aren't able to offer refunds or credits.

If you can't make it, you're always welcome to transfer your ticket to a friend—just send us their name and email before the workshop begins.

If Patchwork needs to cancel or reschedule a workshop for any reason, you'll have the choice of a full refund or a credit toward a future event.

We know life happens, and we'll always do our best to be kind and accommodating. Thanks for understanding that these policies help us continue offering small, thoughtfully curated workshops for our community.
