Capture the essence of Japanese style in your sewing with this collection of projects inspired by the wabi-sabi concept of ‘perfect imperfection’. This collection of 20 sewing projects for home decor 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, cotton, denim and wool to create a stunning collection of simple, sewn projects.

Try out some simple wabi-sabi style sewing techniques such as hand 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 favourite mug or a stunning scarf to wrap up in.

Wabi-Sabi Sewing

Indigo Anywhere

With its off-centre design, hand quilting and indigo fabric, this pouch oozes wabi-sabi vibes. You can make it more so by using all those tiny scraps of fabric you have for each piece.

Helping Hands

This little project is an instant pick-me-up using treasured scraps. Adding a leather hanging loop to each pot holder creates an extra organic touch and makes the pair a great gift.

Randomly Placed

Placemats can add a bit of pizazz to your table with very little effort. Make them all to match, or add snippets of different fabrics for more interest, incorporating pops of color.

Breaking Rules

A log cabin quilt gets the wabi-sabi treatment. Not all the centre squares are the same size or color, and while the strips all begin the same width, they end up different.

Perfectly Imperfect Projects

Picture Imperfect

Hawaiian quilts are normally made from a single piece of fabric, but a wabi-sabi twist here sees the addition of separate pieces incorporated into the design and lines of sashiko quilting.

Comfort Cubed

A pouffe is just the place to rest tired legs, put down a coffee tray, and even seat guests. Bold piecing makes it decorative when not in use, with a top that looks gorgeous from any angle.

Carried Along

You can never have too many bags! This tote is perfect to hold all your essentials, with a strap that works on the shoulder, but is also long enough to wear across your body.

Creating Calm

With graphic ‘plus’ blocks in a solid colour, this laundry bag with its tiny squares may look fiddly, but they’re sewn in strips for minimal effort – perfect for using up your fabric scraps.
