DWS Designs is an independent UK craft business specialising in Kinusaiga fabric art kits, digital patterns and accessories. Founded by Dee Wingrove-Smith, the business introduces makers to the Japanese-inspired art of creating colourful, textured pictures using fabric, without the need for sewing, stitching or glue.
Their collection of Kinusaiga craft kits features a growing range of designs, including landscapes, flowers, animals, seasonal themes and hobby-inspired artwork. Each kit includes a printed design, foam board, double-sided adhesive sheet, fabric pieces, step-by-step instructions and a cardboard display frame. Suitable for beginners and experienced crafters alike, the kits offer an accessible introduction to this creative textile art technique, which involves carefully tucking fabric into grooves to build up a picture.
Alongside their complete kits, DWS Designs offers downloadable Kinusaiga patterns and PDF designs for makers who prefer to source their own materials or use fabric from their existing stash. Additional accessories include display frames for finished artwork, providing options for presenting completed projects.
With a passion for creative reuse and sustainable crafting, Dee incorporates deadstock and recycled fabrics into her kits wherever possible, giving surplus textiles a new creative purpose. Whether exploring Kinusaiga for the first time, trying a new fabric craft or looking for a relaxing, mindful making activity, DWS Designs offers an alternative way to enjoy working with fabric and colour.
