Browsing the archives for the zakka tag

The homepage contains the list of projects and even though there are very few pictures on the homepage, you can use a browser translation tool to view [...]

What do you do with the excess fabric leftover from your sewing projects? I keep my small pieces usually for doing test runs before actual sewing or serging, and at other times I make dresses for my kids’ dolls. But I always seem to be accumulating bags and bags of scrap fabrics. Faster than I [...]
I have been struggling with my kids yanking the hand towels off the towel rings for a long time. Most of the time they will end up on the floor or on the wet counter, and no amount of nagging or reminders have helped. I decided that I had to do something about it. I [...]
I was searching for a handphone case pattern. I haven’t found one that I like yet, but I stumbled upon this site that made me want to make other things instead.

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. I’m sure most of us who sew will recognize their brand as a manufacturer, given that they produce so many pretty fabrics. On their website, there is a hobby [...]
I didn’t post last week as it was school holidays. Holidays for the kids, but extra busy time for Mum Strangely though, I did have more time to sew. Somehow the kids are happier seeing my sewing (stuff for them) then working on the computer. So it was rather productive last week. I even bought [...]
