Saeksilnubi, colored thread quilting is a Korean traditional craft that uses two layers of fabrics, hanji (Korean mulberry paper) cords, and colorful threads to make quilted texture.
Repetive lines created with Bageumjil (back stitch) and Hanji cord create a geometrical pattern and raised texture.
Saeksilnibi was used to make practical objects such as small pouches to store and carry tobacco, flint stone and metal, pin cushion, glasses case, and paper sock patterns.
This technique strengthened the fabric, and protected contents from humidity.
I used this binding method to finish this piece and made it into a pouch. Traditionally this shape of pouch was used to keep family members' sock patterns.
