Product Description

Product Description
Bestselling author Kumiko Sudo creates 45 exquisite handmade gifts in fabric, each with a flair that is uniquely Japanese. Easy-to-follow patterns, beautiful photographs, and colorful step-by-step drawings help the projects come together quickly - many in less than an hour. Whether they are created in kimono silks or in contemporary cottons, these tiny boxes, purses, decorative toys, incense pouches, and good luck charms all make delightful gifts.

Before moving to the United States in 1985, Kumiko Sudo was known by quilters throughout Japan for her books and as a crafts expert on television. Sudo's work is in several prestigious public and private collections throughout the United States, including the Museum of American Folk Art in New York City.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, 27 Sep 2002
I really love this book. Beautifully illustrated. Patterns & step by step instructions all the way. Even how to do a class about these lovely things - starting with easy techniques & progressing to the more intricate ones. Looks pricey but money well spent!

5.0 out of 5 stars A gift from the heart of a talented fiber artist and author, 12 Mar 2001
By rabbit (Sweden) - See all my reviews
The book contains many different small projects for beautiful little gifts. They are all fine examples of Japanese attention to beauty and detail. The introduction chapter is very interesting and educational about Japanese customs and celebrations. The instructions for the different projects are very good and easy to follow. I will certainly make a whole garden of little flower pouches.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gift from the heart, 3 Aug 2007
"A gift made from fabric is the most intimate I can give. It is made with the hands, but the good wishes it carries come only from the heart."
This beautiful thought is apparent throughout this lovely book. The items to be made are uniquely Japanese and you'll either love them or hate them. The techniques and instructions for making all the items cannot be faulted, and you're sure to find a way to use some of the fabrics you have (many items are small enough to use your scraps on). I love the pincushion - a half-tennis ball size mound with a couple of little "dolls" holding onto a knotted cord and leaning into the centre towards each other - you have to see it! Really, as with all Kumiko Sudo's books - delightfully unusual gifts.
