Editorial Reviews
Review
Zakka, a Japanese term meaning ‘many things’ or ‘miscellaneous goods,’ has evolved into a universal design style that embodies simple charm and a homemade aesthetic. This book showcases projects by fiber artists from around the globe who share this zakka style. The 24 projects comprise bags and totes in a variety of shapes and sizes as well as simple and sweet items like a pencil case, sewing kit, pincushion, patchwork ribbon, and picture frames.
Coleman-Hale, who also writes the blog ‘I Heart Linen,’ demonstrates her affection for linen and the role it plays in Zakka Style: all the projects incorporate the natural fabric and exude an organic, homemade feel true to zakka. — Christine French ―
