About this title

Synopsis

The Pixeladies are sewing experts Deb Cashatt and Kris Sazaki. They show readers the centuries-old tradition of furoshiki, the Japanese art of wrapping objects in fabric for practical purposes. A beautiful and original way to present a gift, from food items to gift cards! The book is illustrated with photos of finished wraps and includes simple step-by-step instructions. Learn to make 18 different wraps for wrapping 5 main object shapes—bag, box, flat, bottle, and basket. Also included are ideas for designing unique wraps using surface design techniques, plus a gallery showing gorgeous finished pieces. You'll have the know-how to furoshiki just about anything!

About the Author

Deb Cashatt is an air force brat. Daughter of a retired navigator (which is why she thinks she has a genetic right to tell people where to go) and a very creative mother (who thinks Deb is uppity for keeping her maiden name), Deb has been playing with fabric for as long as she can remember. She lives in Cameron Park, California, with her husband, Dave. Sewing garments, quilting, and passing down the joy of creating to her grandkids are some of her passions. Deb really, really likes to travel and is fortunate to have friends who move to exotic places just so she can visit them. She thinks the world would be a better place if people wore boas and drove cars with fins. Kris Sazaki is an army brat. She inherited the gift of gab from her dad and a sense of adventure from her mom. Sewing she learned from her sister, Noni, and knitting from her sister-in-law, Vicki, and she spent a few teenage years making items to sell at Christmas craft fairs. Her best sewing memories are the Halloween costumes she made for her son. Before becoming an artist, Kris was a German professor, living in some exotic cities where Deb visited her. She lives in Sacramento, California, with her husband, Neil, her son, Miles, and her mother-in-law, Jane. She thinks most problems can be solved after eating chocolate.
