The LP&Q contributor, known for her delightful thread illustration and charming style, has just penned her third book, following on from Sew Illustrated and Diary in Stitches.

Zakka From the Heart Book

Sparked from the memory of a shoe bag that her parents collaboratively made for her as a child, Zakka from the Heart is filled with ideas for new projects, quick gifts and simple hand sewing to calm your mind. Its 16 whimsical home projects cover a variety of techniques, from quilting to wool applique, so you can boost your skills and add handmade joy to your home at the same time.

Minki hopes for her readers to flick through the pages and be inspired to mix and match elements from each of the projects, so you can create your own designs from the heart. “The imagination is endless, and I hope we can stitch what we see in our everyday lives uniquely and kindly together.”
