Bojagi (보자기)

This is called "Sah-sun-bo", which means the pieces are cut in triangular shape, and have been reconnected. I have used "oksa(one kind of Korean silk)" to create this "Bojagi".
It is a lot harder than connecting square shape pieces, but the finished Bojagi is an award of your labor.

The white edge is called "Gahn-jie". I have used a white silk for this one, but people can use whichever color that they want to use. I have seen people using black, dark purple, light pink, etc.

It is hard to see, but small '8' shape pieces are called "Bak-ghie". These are also made of silk by rolling a piece of square piece of silk, and unfolding the rolled up silk.
