What is Japanese boro? A close look at some real pieces from Japan & help me decide how to use them!

Have a close look with me at some of my vintage boro pieces (also called boroboro or boromono) from Japan. What is boro? How is it different from sashiko? How is it made? I talk through some of the techniques used to make the fabrics and my ideas on what to use the pieces for: help me decide whether to take one of them apart and repurpose it into something else!
