Sedef Imer’s designs are all quick and easy projects that are so charming, you won’t be able to make just one. For an explanation of what Zakka is, I went to the official description:
Zakka is a Japanese design aesthetic that combines usefulness with beauty and style. In this book, Sedef Imer has created a collection of simple, pretty, and handy projects inspired by the art of Zakka to help organize and beautify your home. Suitable for all levels of sewists, you will be inspired by these fun and easy-to-sew projects that will brighten and adorn your home.
What a great class series! At each class, they would literally take home a finished project. Who doesn’t love instant gratification???
This fun case with a simple, bouncy patchwork design, hoop pull zipper, and fabric-covered button zipper tab is full of sweet little details. The compact size of this case will keep all sorts of tools gathered, stored, and zipped up in pretty zakka style. Kit includes a 9-inch zipper with hoop pull and two 1-inch cover buttons. Extra cover buttons and zippers are also available. Look for items #ZW6370 and #ZW6400. The colors can be cut from scrap or 2″ or 2 1/2″ squares. The rest is fat quarter friendly so kitting is a breeze.
Step out in style with a pretty and useful wristlet. This charming accessory keeps all your little essentials—phone, cards, lipstick, keys, and other necessities—organized. Two handy zippered and lined compartments hold everything securely, and provides you with hands-free convenience. Kit includes two 8-inch zippers with water droplet pull and one swivel hook and D-ring set. Extra zippers and swivel hook and D-ring sets are available. This pattern is fat quarter friendly so it is the perfect choice for a class!
This roomy, square pouch can hold and carry all your little sewing essentials and notions. The wire frame gives the bag structure and forms a wide opening, making it easy to pack and find everything hands-free. The little handles make this caddy the perfect grab-and-go sewing accessory. Kit includes one 8 x 3-inch wire frame set and one 16-inch zipper with hoop pull. Extra wire frames and zippers are available separately. Look for items #ZW6363 and #ZW6417. And, once again, it is fat quarter friendly so it is easy to kit!
