This collection of 20 sewing projects for home décor and accessories is based on the popular Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi which celebrates the beauty in the ordinary and imperfect. The projects are grouped according to how we live, for example: living, sleeping, eating and exploring.

Sewing and quilting expert and fabric designer, Karen Lewis, has used a limited palette of earthy tones and the best quality natural fabrics including linen, denim and wool to create a stunning collection of simple, sewn projects.

Try out some simple wabi-sabi style sewing techniques such as hand piecing, Sashiko embroidery, big stitch quilting, and visible mending to create unique items for your home whether it’s a full sized bed quilt, simple coasters for your favorite mug or a stunning scarf to wrap up in.
