Yōko Saitō Bücher

Quilten liegt derzeit absolut im Trend: Die japanische Designerin Yoko Saito ist Meisterin dieses Fachs und verrät in ihrem Band, wie mit dieser Technik vor allem außergewöhnliche Taschen gefertigt werden können, die durch sehr individuelle Formen überzeugen. Mit ihren Entwürfen interpretiert sie ein traditionelles und ehemals folkloristisches Handwerk neu und modern – die vorgestellten 29 Projekte werden dabei von präzisen Anleitungen, Bemaßungen und Schnittmusterbogen in Originalgröße begleitet. In wenigen Schritten führt die Designerin so zu topaktuellen Accessoires, die mit den ebenfalls genau beschriebenen, gestickten Applikationen extravagante Details erhalten. Für jeden Fan von Faden und Nadel lässt der inspirierende Band aber ebenso Raum für eigene Ideen und stellt damit eine fantastische Ergänzung in der eigenen Handarbeitsbibliothek dar.
