Inspired by Zakka

in Inspiration on 05/09/13

I am new to the Zakka scene.  Over the last couple of months I have heard a lot about Zakka, but wasn’t overly sure what it was all about.. While shopping this weekend, I came across the perfect Zakka book and had to buy it – it is called Zakka Style.  The book was complied by Rashida Coleman-Hale and showcases projects from 24 designers.

While I was googling Zakka – I found alot of information about the author, the book and the Zakka movement. There are Sew A Long groups, Flickr groups and Pinterest pages all dedicated to this book…Rashida Coleman-Hale – You are awesome!  The book came out a few years ago. Where was I? I feel like I have missed out on alot of fun.

I’m not going to dwell on missing out on the action. Instead, I’ve decided to create a little Sew A Long for myself and will sew 4 of my favorite projects in the book.  Here they are:

patchwork pencil case

Pot holders 600px

zip organizer 600px

Like so many of you out there, time is of the essence.. My sewing and blog to-do list is a mountain! But I’m committed to learning about Zakka and sewing a project from these very talented designers. Zakka as a design scheme defintely speaks to me – I love simple, modern and functional designs.

Check back periodically for more information on Zakka and how my projects are going. I promise to keep you posted as I sew the projects above -the message board, pencil case, pot holder and zip organizer.

P.s.. Go and buy the book, you will LOVE it!!

    This was my first Zakka book, too, and I still love it! I made the pincushions; they were one of my first blog posts. 🙂 Can’t wait to see what you come up with!! Zakka Handmades, Patchwork, Please! and Stitch Zakka are also really wonderful.

Working on a commission and a request for the colo Working on a commission and a request for the color terracotta. I’m thinking the top right vs the bottom left. And funny enough, this fits perfectly for today’s #marchmeetthemaker prompt “decision”

Earlier today I was working on a new pattern and t Earlier today I was working on a new pattern and then realized that my table had legs. 😂 While I’m excited to share about my upcoming tote pattern release, this photo took me down memory lane. My sweet boy Arlo turns 7 this week. He is always by my side and has been my shadow since the day he was born❤️ . He is often in my studio, patiently waiting, photobombing a tutorial or playing w/ my supplies.

I love today's prompt "from idea to product" for # I love today's prompt "from idea to product" for #marchmeetthemaker. If you swipe, you can see the the original. I made that group of block print quite a few years ago and this pinwheel is a motif that I come back to all the time. 

Do you block print or make your own designs? What would you like to create with your patterns or prints? Have anything in mind?

Do you mix and match your handmade block prints an Do you mix and match your handmade block prints and your fabric stash?  I love this combo of champagne blush and turquoise. What would you make with it?
