One of my new books, and quite a recent release as well as it was just released on July 24th. I have a weakness for bag pattern books. I first saw this under the new books listed in nihon-vogue’s website. The patterns are very simple but that’s precisely why I like the book. These bags [...]
This post was due yesterday but I was caught up with a little project. Those of you who follow me on Facebook may have seen a youtube bag making video that I posted a few days ago. That project is from this book, and after watching the video I was inspired to actually get started [...]

Today’s free patterns come from one of my favourite Japanese fabric brands. Lecien Corporation is a manufacturer of fabrics, handicrafts as well as ladies clothes and even lingerie.

How many bags does a girl need? How many bags does a girl want? How many bags have I made? Not enough Today’s free pattern link is from Bee Factory. There are lots of free patterns out there for little items like bags and pouches but not many with such detailed photographs and diagrams. Just [...]
Studio Clip is a company selling zakka and clothings. They have both an online store as well as physical stores in Japan. Today I discovered one of their blogs – which is a huge library of “how to make” patterns for zakka goods! To date (it was last updated early Feb), there are 116 patterns [...]
Pochée magazine is a sewing magazine mainly for women, and I would never have discovered it if not for this. I found this under the sewing books section while browsing in a bookstore in Japan, I couldn’t believe I have never seen this magazine before, since our local Kinokuniya does stock up a good variety [...]
