I’m turning Japanese!
Saturday, April 18th, 2015
How exciting, a parcel from Japan. My friend Caroline, who was my inspiration for getting back into sewing moved there a couple of years ago and every now and then she sends a package of local goodies. This one is very special – a Japanese sewing magazine, full of patterns and some gorgeous chocolate brown printed cotton fabric to go with it (the picture does it no justice at all – it’s beautiful).
I love Japanese magazines even if I can’t understand a word. The paper and the design always makes them feel truly special and I like the fact that you have to read from the back. This one is called Boutique (I think) and has 43 different garments inside to make. Like all Japanese magazines there are phrases in English scattered through it and the clothes are really pretty.
So this week’s (OK, maybe next week, there’s a still quite a pile of unfinished stuff in the sewing room) challenge is to dive in and give it a go. It might be another language, but there’s still a pattern to follow – what could possibly go wrong?
A very useful sewing site
