Zakka Sewing presents approximately 25 projects from Japanese crafters along with fascinating insight into the Japanese crafting culture. While the instructions are in English, the illustrations, photography and design maintain the zakka aesthetic that is so integral to the zakka experience. Projects include bags, ornaments, a wallet, a pincushion, a book cover, a tea cozy and coasters.
