  • Guide to hand sewing Japanese fabric gifts

    This book is a good guide to hand sewing Japanese style gifts. The book has full size templates, the individual projects have illustrated instructions. Basic hand sewing skills are enough to make these projects. The author recommends to start with the easier items which tend to be based on rectangular/triangle and square shapes. The projects are not appropriate for machine sewing, but they aren't difficult to hand sew. Each project has illustrated instructions, not step by step photographs. The author includes cultural information as well as anecdotes.

  • If you love sewing handiwork, buy it!

    This book is a jewel in the crown of global culture, and to Eastern philosophy specifically. A testament to work done for the love of beauty, repurposing scrap material, and understanding meaningful creativity. Comprehensive instruction, illustration and text. Thank you so much for offering this wonderful treasure at such a reasonable price,
