Browsing the archives for the translation requests tag
I first discovered naniIRO fabric more than 5 years ago while fabric shopping in Odakaya in Shinjuku which is a craft and fabric store. Located near the cashier was a row of fabrics. The colors were colorful yet muted in a way, and the water color effect was just too gorgeous to resist. I stood [...]
Just wanted to share with you a recent translation request from one of my readers – Kat, that I received a few weeks ago. I was so sure I reviewed this book before but after searching my own archives, it seems that I haven’t? Anyway, this book is all about Girls clothes using knit fabrics. [...]
Today’s translation took a long time! When I first saw it I thought it was quite easy. But it turned out that, as I was unfamiliar with the construction of a Chinese dress (it’s actually called the qipao or cheongsam here), there were several steps that was not quite understandable. I hope it will make [...]

Note that when they mentioned border cloth, it’s actually similar to bias tape. The [...]

[...]
Today’s translation request is from Ritisha, who needed some help with the following nani IRO pattern. I love nani IRO fabrics, but have never sewn with one (because I cannot bear to cut that single piece I have stashed away), and it was only after doing this translation that I realized it was slightly narrower [...]
I know that despite the best translation guides and dictionaries, sometimes it is still hard to deciper a pattern especially when you pick up a book like this. Some books provide great step by step picture, but this book gives me a one page “how-to-make”, with no step by step diagrams. I’m suppose to guess [...]
I received a request via email today from Ira, who asked which size she should make for her 5 year old girl. Hi Ira! You didn’t mention how tall she is, so I can’t tell you exactly which one to use. But the patterns usually refer to size for kids by their heights. Under the [...]
