ARTICLE PREVIEW
from Threads February/March 2007 (#129)
Inspired by Japanese Crests
Century-old designs add new life to garments
by Lois Ericson

Beloved author and artist Lois Ericson explores inspiration in the realm of the Japanese crests that signify social rank and embellish the honorable kimono. But as usual, Lois pulls out the stops, blows off the boundaries, and presents a fresh and exciting use for these timeless insignias. Advanced and beginning sewers alike will tap in on Lois Ericson's creative energy and be inspired to take their garment designs to new heights.
