The Book Of Boro
A collection of boro-inspired projects and techniques which celebrates this traditional Japanese textile and its relevance to the modern sewer and quilter. Learn about the history of boro and how it is being revived for a new audience using contemporary fabrics including denim, linen and shibori tie dye as well as sashiko and other embroidery stitches. The word boro comes from the Japanese boroboro meaning something tattered or repaired. It refers to textiles that have been mended or patched together for utilitarian, not decorative, purposes to make the fabric stronger and warmer, and to mend torn and threadbare areas. The techniques section includes a short stitch directory with traditional stitches (running stitch and applique) and contemporary stitches (herringbone stitch, blanket stitch, chain stitch and whipped running stitch). Other techniques include instructions on improvisational patchwork; applique: raw, turned edge and reverse; darning techniques and methods for distressing and ageing fabrics to achieve an authentic boro finish.

My Only Boro
DO YOU LOVE FOOTBALL, HISTORY, WAR AND POLITICS? Then this is the book for you. DO YOU HATE FOOTBALL, HISTORY, WAR AND POLITICS? Then this is the book for you. After more than a century of immaculate footballing underachievement, Middlesbrough Football Club enjoyed its most successful period beginning with victory in the 2004 League Cup Final and ending on a disastrous night in Eindhoven. How did we get there... not just the extraordinary run in that tournament, and not just in sport, but historically, as a town, and as a community? My Only Boro is not just about Middlesbrough Football Club, it's not just a history book about the town and it's not just a social commentary on a town once described as the worst place to live in Britain - it's all this and more.
